It provides them with a basic introduction to and awareness of Lean Thinking and the benefits that can accrue to both themselves and the organization through the successful implementation of Lean principles.
This program helps to educate and involve all employees in their organization’s efforts to improve process efficiencies and eliminate waste. Implementing Lean without staff involvement is impossible, and equally, involvement without knowledge is doomed to failure.
