Sustaining Lean

Up to 80% of Lean (and Six Sigma) improvement programmes will fail to achieve results that stick – however, many of the problems that lead to failure could have been predicted and dealt with prior to the start of the improvement process.

Starting from a practical introduction to Lean, this workshop focuses on the critical skills required to deliver successful improvement by providing delegates with the awareness of how to prepare for, implement and sustain Lean Improvement Programmes.

This workshop goes into detail on the key tools of Lean, coupled with the supporting structures that enable organisations to realise the full benefits of improvement and is based on no-nonsense practical experience gained in the introduction of Lean a number of organisations.

Topics covered:

• Lean understanding – beginners to advanced
• Why Lean fails
• Avoiding failure
• The Top Six management actions needed to prevent ‘improvement burn out’
• Pulling together a successful programme
