Introduction to Lean
A fresh and practical look at added value, waste, the five whys and the logic behind WIP reduction and pull flow.
Description of the course
Give your employees a real introduction to Lean.
This half-day training course leaves out the historical and theoretical aspects in favour of teaching popularised concepts that will awaken the minds of your organisation's people to a proven method.
To develop a culture of operational excellence, all employees need to be able to identify ways to improve in their daily lives. Give them the means to do so as soon as they return to work!
For online training, meeting invitations will be sent to you 48 hours in advance and will contain the web links to access the training. Make sure you have the necessary equipment to be able to hear and communicate with the trainer! The material will be sent to you as a link or PDF file to your email address.
