Lean Awareness Training

Introduction:

The Lean methodology is a powerful and dynamic process improvement methodology that brings a host of valuable tools to the workplace. When the Lean methodology is fully deployed, everyone in the organisation participates in making improvement in quality in all operational areas. When deployed effectively with leadership support and commitment and the right training on the right tools, Lean can make a huge difference in the way organisations work. Reductions in cycle times, costs, and wastes, along with improved throughput, productivity and quality are achievable outcomes.
