Introduction to Lean

Traditional manufacturing philosophies stress high utilization of machinery and manpower with little consideration for cycle time or manufacturing waste.

Conversely, Lean Manufacturing establishes a systematic approach to eliminating wastes and creating greater production efficiencies through maximizing value-added activities. Implementing Lean practices helps develop and implement a long-term plan to streamline your operations for success.

Introduction to Lean Manufacturing is a no-cost, half-day interactive and experiential workshop that illustrates the power Lean Manufacturing principles can have on revolutionizing shop-floor operations.

Who Should Attend?
Equally accessible to senior management, office staff and the full labor force, Introduction to Lean Manufacturing provides everyone with a common understanding of how Lean principles can be used to dramatically improve manufacturing operations.

Introduction to Lean Manufacturing will be held once per calendar quarter with class size limited to twelve participants to allow for a better learning opportunity.
