Lean Training Workshop

Lean is the term used to describe the Toyota Production System (TPS) developed in the post World War II years. The concept started in a manufacturing environment, and gradu-ally was applied to the whole company spectrum, including the supply chain, marketing, new product development and services.

Lean is not simply an effective business improvement tool; it is a way of running a busi-ness. The objective of lean thinking is to create more value for customers,
employees and owners through a value creation process that minimizes waste along the entire value stream by continuously looking for improvement and striving for perfection. Lean provides a way to deliver customers with exactly what they want, when they want it, with the least amount of effort, assets, equipment, time and space.
