Understanding and applying lean successfully

Date of Event Tuesday 17 March 2009
Duration 1 day
Venue Grill Room, Victory Services Club, 63-79 Seymour Street, London W2 2HF
Details

This interactive and highly practical exercise introduces you to Lean in both an operational environment and in ‘offices and service sectors’. This workshop is applicable to those who have some experience of Lean and want to go add to their knowledge as well as those who have an interest in Lean and want some formal training to understand what it is, how it works and how to make it work.

Using practical exercises, presentations and interactive discussions, this fast paced workshop delivers value to both experienced Lean practitioners and beginners. This workshop is applicable to delegates from all sectors and will use case studies drawn from both the public and private sector. 

The programme focuses more on ‘how to do Lean’ rather than the ‘what is Lean’ as too many training programme focus on the tools and not how/when to use them....

It is a broad programme designed to appeal to a wide audience.

Topics covered:

  • Understanding Lean and its principles
  • The ‘top tools’ of Lean 
  • Lean Events & Programmes 
  • Making Lean Work (& Stick)

Why should you attend?

  • Gain an understanding of Lean 
  • Review the key tools of Lean improvement 
  • Gain practical experience of using different Lean tools 
  • Discuss your practical improvement issues
