ABOUT US

Declan Manto
Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma
I’m a Lean Consultant specialising in practical, data-driven solutions for manufacturing businesses. With experience across multiple industries, I work hands-on to help identify inefficiencies, unlock hidden capacity, and make Lean work in real-world environments — not just on paper.
I thrive when working 1:1 with technical teams and business owners, finding solutions that are simple, sustainable, and deliver measurable results.
From taking small steps and deploying the basic tools to facilitating structural changes to embed a Lean and Continuous Improvement mindset into the workplace, the benefits below can be achieved.
- Increase Productivity and Manufacturing Capacity
- Reduce cost of Manufacturing
- Improve Product Quality
- Control over your processes
- Eliminate waste
- Increase Employee Engagement and utilisation of skill sets
- Increase overall employee morale
These methods are achieved through team-based improvement projects and employee engagement. Lean is all about adding value to your organization.
I hold a Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma, an MSc in Strategic Quality Management, and obtained a B.Eng. in Industrial Engineering which is also closely linked to Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement tools and techniques. I have also been fortunate to have been a named co-author on a journal article on how Lean is deployed through the MedTech industry in Ireland.
