Brittany Parks Process Consulting (BPPC) and Energy Control Power Lockout (ECPL) exemplify how Lean thinking and safety excellence work hand in hand to create stronger, more resilient organizations.

At BPPC, the focus is on strengthening standard operating procedures through process improvement and organizational change management—helping teams drive consistency, efficiency, and long-term success. ECPL complements that work by delivering customized safety program solutions, including lockout/tagout placards, evacuation maps, and compliance signage. Together, BPPC and ECPL equip organizations with the systems, tools, and culture needed for safe, efficient, and sustainable operations.

As the Owner and Principal Consultant at BPPC and Owner and President of ECPL, Brittany Parks leads both companies in partnering with clients across manufacturing, government, healthcare, nonprofits, and small businesses—helping each create workplaces that protect people and perform at their best.

History with the MLC

Brittany has been an active member of the Michigan Lean Consortium (MLC) for several years, serving as a speaker, workshop leader, and participant. Both BPPC and ECPL have supported MLC events through sponsorship and thought leadership—particularly in advancing conversations around building strong safety cultures, applying Lean principles, and bridging the gap between compliance and continuous improvement.

Why We Choose to Be Members of the MLC

“Our ‘why’ is rooted in people,” Brittany shared. “We believe every worker deserves to return home safely and every organization deserves processes that work for them—not against them.”

The MLC provides a network where BPPC and ECPL can both learn and give back, exchanging best practices in Lean, safety, and leadership. Membership creates opportunities to connect with peers, spark collaboration, and stay at the forefront of improvement practices that benefit Michigan’s industries and communities.

“Through the MLC, we’ve seen firsthand how Lean principles not only improve efficiency but also create safer, more sustainable workplaces. That’s why both BPPC and ECPL are proud to be supporters—we are committed to shaping systems that protect people and improve performance.”

A Human-Centered Approach to Continuous Improvement

At BPPC and ECPL, strong systems are built with people at the center. Their work integrates human-centered design with Lean and safety principles to ensure solutions are not only effective—but also intuitive, practical, and embraced by the teams who use them.

Beyond tools and templates, both organizations partner with clients to design and implement change management strategies that align operational efficiency with safety compliance. By focusing on how people interact with systems, BPPC and ECPL help create processes that last—driving meaningful, sustainable improvement.

As active members of the Michigan Lean Consortium, BPPC and ECPL embody the spirit of Lean leadership—combining innovation, safety, and collaboration to make Michigan’s workplaces safer, stronger, and better connected.
