  • This 3 day workshop provides managers, team leaders and change agents with a systematic application framework for Lean Thinking combining Lean tools with practical facilitation/change management processes.

  • The workshop sets out practical steps to engage all levels with lean concepts and secure year on year improvement.

  • Based on our experience of supporting well know and award winning organisations the Lean CI toolbox provides all your organisation needs to introduce Lean or to raise standards to the next level.

  • The Lean CI Toolbox supports the application of Lean awareness/education, mapping, process and value stream analysis, set up reduction, performance management, audit/coaching, scheduling, standard practices for operations and maintenance, CANDO/5S, facilitation, coaching and programme management.

  • Participants will work through a manufacturing case study to develop examples of how to apply each stage. They will use this case study as a standard to compare their own practices, identify gaps and develop a customised improvement route map which they can apply back at their organisation.

  • Take aways include a Lean CI workbook to support the use of Lean Thinking to any application area and a customised Lean transformation road map to build on existing good practices and guide their Lean journey.

  • Although the workshop material uses predominantly manufacturing based examples, the Lean CI Toolbox has been successful applied to non manufacturing applications.  The workshop emphasis will be adjusted to meet the needs of participants.
