TROLLITE

One of the handiest things you can have when travelling, moving, or even shopping is a sturdy trolley. A good trolley can ease the burden of heavy bags and packages, so of course, we wanted to improve on it.

The Trollite was engineered with lean principles in mind as it is the lightest travel trolley currently on the market. This means less weight for you to haul around and less stress on your body.

Trollite is designed to be minimalist and highly efficient for anyone travelling, whether for business or pleasure.

The feedback we have received on our product line tells us that as travellers become more proficient in using our luggage, the experience continues to get even better. Who knew?! The products don’t change, but the thinking does, especially for newbie lean thinkers.

We firmly believe in the lean methodology and we are confident that you will too!

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT & THE CURRENT LEANPAC PRODUCT LINE

The current product line is our very first version to market and is reasonably priced to entice every traveller out there to ‘go lean’. We want to spread the word of the lean methodology through our products and fine-tune our designs, in the ethos of continuous improvement which we take serious. We want to make the products even better with the feedback we get from the LeanPac community.
Our Lean Team is dedicated to creating a community of everyday lean thinkers to create a line of products that facilitates lean travelling and living. Join us in the lean movement and enjoy a more streamlined, straightforward travel experience than you could ever have imagined!

    Michelle Leong

    Michelle Leong

    Hi, I’m Michelle Leong and I’m a self-confessed Lean fanatic, but only because I’m so focused on doing what makes me happy and living life to the fullest. I am a dedicated Lean practitioner with almost 20 years experience in changing people’s lives and businesses for the better. I was part of the team that introduced lean to the construction industry in a government-funded Construction Lean Improvement Programme (CLIP). I also helped translate and developed the Business Improvement Technique (BIT) NVQ qualification into Construction from the manufacturing industry and hold the highest level in that qualification and am an accredited assessor.

    My biggest passion – aside from Lean living of course – is traveling. I’ve travelled to a total of 50 countries and have around 150 cities under my travel belt and, being a massive foodie too, restaurant and cuisine sampling along the way is inevitable & prolific.

    I started practicing lean around 20 years ago and since, Being Lean and healthy living is a necessity to fuel my ambitious lifestyle. Over the years I’ve nailed packing lean and maintaining an exercise routine on the go. I’ve found that Being Lean allows me more time for the things that matter including scuba diving. I’ve racked up 450 fair-weather dives with my PADI Advanced Open-Water certification and I’m not finished yet!

    Being Lean is an absolute necessity to enable my quality of life. Discovering and practising lean has helped me to live the life I love without compromise and I sincerely hope my book, this website and its resources and community will do the same for you.

    Lean Exchange

    Lean Exchange

    Being Lean isn’t about going-it-alone. The resources, knowledge and process changes out there are limitless. The book, Being Lean, is hopefully a kick-starter to inspire others to make a positive change. But I don’t claim to know everything and despite making huge changes to my life already, I recognise that there’s always more to be done – always more waste to cut out. My dream is to generate a Lean culture filled with people who always strive for that little extra.

    The Lean Exchange has been placed here specifically to encourage you to share and expand on your Lean knowledge and experiences and help nurture a Lean community of like-minded people who are hungry for a lifestyle change. Being Lean is a niche concept that should be encouraged and developed into an inclusive and supportive culture so that others all over the world can reap the benefits.

    The Lean Exchange is your chance to ‘pay it forward’ and help others to achieve that unique Lean perspective through a supportive, open and welcoming platform to discuss and move forward together. The more people we talk to, the stronger we become. Open a thread or talk to other Lean thinkers to share your journey or offer your expertise to your next customer.

Read on for easy-to-read, helpful advice and guidance on how to make your home life Lean and de-stress through self-awareness.

    In Health

    Looking after number one is important. Adapting fitness into your everyday lifestyle and making smart food choices are key stress relievers and you’ll see that you begin to be much more productive, throughout other aspects of your life too. But did you know that being healthy is also linked to Being Lean? Bad health as a result of bad living is the greatest defect and waste in your system.  The following articles can shed some light on how to bring Lean processes into your daily food and fitness regime. You can get ideas on how to engineer your environment to diet and train less to get more. I hope to motivate you to start living healthy if you are not already doing that but also to optimise what you are already doing, if you’ve already started.

    When Travelling

    When Travelling

    Whether you’re travelling for work or leisure, there’s always room for improvement when it comes to being organised, planning ahead and packing your bags. It’s 10 times more stressful if something goes wrong when you’re away from home and you want your trips to be as enjoyable as possible. Being organised for your travels is not only about packing as it only contributes to a small fraction of time & cost loss compared to the other inconveniences of not planning or sticking to plans can cause. Being Lean in all aspects of travel can give you much more time to sit back and relax; whether that means cutting down queueing time, planning your route or packing your bags. These blogs endeavor to give you some food for thought helping you create your own detailed travel schedules, discuss the benefits of always having a plan B and give you the low down on getting the most out of your eat-out experiences. Find out what can help you stick to your healthy eating regime without compromising your quality of travel experience. What types of minimal travel training can help you get through your holidays without ruining all your pre-holiday efforts.

    At Work

    At Work

    You spend a lot of your life at work and it’s vital that you cut down that time adequately to set a healthy work/life balance. The following articles are designed to help you work smarter, not harder. Raise the bar of just doing Lean yourself to leading by example, helping others to be just as Lean as you endeavour to be. Adapting your working life to incorporate Lean thinking and processes will cut down all that overtime caused by time robbers, in the long run.

    The work you and the home you should be the same. The blogs you read in the Home section of this website should contribute to your personal development to make you more productive in all walks of life. But here, you should find a few more honed-in skills, tips & ideas specific to the work environment that will help you induce a lean culture around you to achieve better flow and make work more bearable!

      TROLLITE

      One of the handiest things you can have when travelling, moving, or even shopping is a sturdy trolley. A good trolley can ease the burden of heavy bags and packages, so of course, we wanted to improve on it.

      The Trollite was engineered with lean principles in mind as it is the lightest travel trolley currently on the market. This means less weight for you to haul around and less stress on your body.

      Trollite is designed to be minimalist and highly efficient for anyone travelling, whether for business or pleasure.

          Lean or Mean

          As individuals, we all have different value systems & different ideas of what value means to us. Being lean, I’ve come across different people with different views of what is worth the effort or not. Here is a little activity I thought will be fun to see how Lean or Mean our community can be! Go on & have a view. Do you think the activities are Being Lean or Mean?!

          Lean Exchange

          Being Lean isn’t about going-it-alone. The resources, knowledge and process changes out there are limitless. The book, Being Lean, is hopefully a kick-starter to inspire others to make a positive change. But I don’t claim to know everything and despite making huge changes to my life already, I recognise that there’s always more to be done – always more waste to cut out. My dream is to generate a Lean culture filled with people who always strive for that little extra.

          The Lean Exchange has been placed here specifically to encourage you to share and expand on your Lean knowledge and experiences and help nurture a Lean community of like-minded people who are hungry for a lifestyle change. Being Lean is a niche concept that should be encouraged and developed into an inclusive and supportive culture so that others all over the world can reap the benefits.

          The Lean Exchange is your chance to ‘pay it forward’ and help others to achieve that unique Lean perspective through a supportive, open and welcoming platform to discuss and move forward together. The more people we talk to, the stronger we become. Open a thread or talk to other Lean thinkers to share your journey or offer your expertise to your next customer.

          When Travelling

          Whether you’re travelling for work or leisure, there’s always room for improvement when it comes to being organised, planning ahead and packing your bags. It’s 10 times more stressful if something goes wrong when you’re away from home and you want your trips to be as enjoyable as possible. Being organised for your travels is not only about packing as it only contributes to a small fraction of time & cost loss compared to the other inconveniences of not planning or sticking to plans can cause. Being Lean in all aspects of travel can give you much more time to sit back and relax; whether that means cutting down queueing time, planning your route or packing your bags. These blogs endeavor to give you some food for thought helping you create your own detailed travel schedules, discuss the benefits of always having a plan B and give you the low down on getting the most out of your eat-out experiences. Find out what can help you stick to your healthy eating regime without compromising your quality of travel experience. What types of minimal travel training can help you get through your holidays without ruining all your pre-holiday efforts.

          In Health

          Looking after number one is important. Adapting fitness into your everyday lifestyle and making smart food choices are key stress relievers and you’ll see that you begin to be much more productive, throughout other aspects of your life too. But did you know that being healthy is also linked to Being Lean? Bad health as a result of bad living is the greatest defect and waste in your system.  The following articles can shed some light on how to bring Lean processes into your daily food and fitness regime. You can get ideas on how to engineer your environment to diet and train less to get more. I hope to motivate you to start living healthy if you are not already doing that but also to optimise what you are already doing, if you’ve already started.

          Michelle Leong

          Hi, I’m Michelle Leong and I’m a self-confessed Lean fanatic, but only because I’m so focused on doing what makes me happy and living life to the fullest. I am a dedicated Lean practitioner with almost 20 years experience in changing people’s lives and businesses for the better. I was part of the team that introduced lean to the construction industry in a government-funded Construction Lean Improvement Programme (CLIP). I also helped translate and developed the Business Improvement Technique (BIT) NVQ qualification into Construction from the manufacturing industry and hold the highest level in that qualification and am an accredited assessor.

          My biggest passion – aside from Lean living of course – is traveling. I’ve travelled to a total of 50 countries and have around 150 cities under my travel belt and, being a massive foodie too, restaurant and cuisine sampling along the way is inevitable & prolific.

          I started practicing lean around 20 years ago and since, Being Lean and healthy living is a necessity to fuel my ambitious lifestyle. Over the years I’ve nailed packing lean and maintaining an exercise routine on the go. I’ve found that Being Lean allows me more time for the things that matter including scuba diving. I’ve racked up 450 fair-weather dives with my PADI Advanced Open-Water certification and I’m not finished yet!

          Being Lean is an absolute necessity to enable my quality of life. Discovering and practising lean has helped me to live the life I love without compromise and I sincerely hope my book, this website and its resources and community will do the same for you.

          X

          The Book

          Being Lean, written by Michelle Leong, is an amazing book filled with practical ideas and thought processes to help you organise your life and free up more time for YOU. The book focuses on 4 main areas of your lifestyle and looks at tried and tested lean methods with practical activities to help you achieve better day-to-day processes, while removing stress and improving your work/life balance.

          • Home – This book is your key to some well-earned rest and relaxation. You need to focus on creating that time to just be you. Inside, you’ll find tremendous tips and tricks to cut out the waste in your home and lifestyle processes to give you more time, space and energy to do the things you love.
          • Health – Your health, fitness and wellbeing are all huge contributors to your overall happiness, and you can’t afford to let them slip, even if you’ve got a lot going on in your life. Being Lean is your guide to fitting in those eat-healthy diets or quick fitness regimes to ensure you’re always putting your best foot forward in all aspects of your life.
          • Travel – Organisation and planning can expose you to more experiences and exciting adventures. This book will teach you how to plan your trips effectively, learn how to bounce back from unforeseen hiccups by executing plan B and develop a wider knowledge of your destination by incorporating Lean habits.
          • Work – We are all held accountable for our productivity and quality of work. However, this shouldn’t mean that you need to spend more time at the office. Being Lean demonstrates how you can improve your efficiency at work using excellent diary management and communication styles to please your next customer and get out of the door on time.

           Being Lean is your one-stop-shop to making you happier and more effective in all aspects of your life, to give you a boost, increase your productivity and achieve your dreams.
