Lean Office
Lean Office

The office is prime territory for the application of ‘Lean’ techniques that can quickly and simply eliminate waste, gain more capacity from existing operations and increase the efficiency of business processes. Problems frequently encountered include long customer response times, high levels of defects and delays, inefficient work area design, poor information flow, etc.

This highly motivating course will enable organisations to map clearly their current processes, to see quickly where improvements can be made, and to implement changes using a team-based approach. It is equally applicable to the business functions of a manufacturing company, and to purely service-based organisations.
