Our programme
The programme starts with a scoping exercise whereby one of our Lean
specialists will identify, with your management team, areas within your
business that will benefit from a Lean project. This is then supported
by the implementation of real actions which put in place immediate and
measurable improvements, whilst also giving the workforce the skills to
continuously identify productivity improvements.
The programme involves two days of underpinning knowledge followed
immediately by a three day workshop. This is then followed by two
further sessions each lasting two days to ensure the improvements have
been sustained and project targets are met.
