Description
Most companies planning the journey to Lean Manufacturing see this process as a daunting task. It’s not that the idea and process of implementing Lean is overly complicated. In its simplest form Lean is the elimination of waste from your production process, and then from your corporation. Lean will assist your company in producing a higher quality product in less time and at less cost. This session will discuss How to Right Size Your Lean Program and to leverage your company’s internal assets: People, Time, Knowledge and Systems to achieve excellence in Lean Manufacturing. This will address methodologies for organizing and implementing a concise Lean implementation that is sized for success and defined in an actual case study.
