Most organizations that have invested in implementing lean initiatives realize large gains, such as:
•Cycle time reductions;
•Inventory reductions;
•On-time delivery improvement;
•Productivity improvement
But over time, in many organizations that implement lean, the improvements do not continue once the initial Kaizen events are over. In some cases, things quickly go right back to how they were prior to the initial lean effort.
This seminar will discuss the importance of leadership and culture in driving continuous improvement throughout your organization to create a systematic and lasting approach to operational improvement. You will also have the opportunity to see where your company is today and where you need to go to be globally competitive.
