Lean Conversion Overview

4-hour & 8-hour (workshops) 

 

Lean conversion involves all activities necessary to make lead-time reduction possible. Affected functions include production control, manufacturing or services, engineering, sales and marketing, purchasing, maintenance, administrative workflow, and quality. Adopting a lean approach is helping companies become faster and more responsive to customer requirements while using fewer resources. In order to successfully implement Lean, there must be a company-wide understanding of the basics of Lean - what it means, why it is necessary, and how it works.
