Foundations of Lean Training

Are the Lean tools what you need to take your business to the next level? Lean is about speed and efficiency. It focuses on reduction of waste, improvement of flow, simplification, standardization, and driving work at the pace of the customer. Lean is also a growth engine – developing the capability to grow the business, without increasing costs. Lean is a great starting point on a continuous improvement journey. It is practical and results oriented, but it isn’t difficult.

This one-week curriculum covers the basics of Lean, with practical examples for both manufacturing and service environments. It is very accessible, highly interactive, and does not require any software besides Microsoft Word and Excel.
