Special Seminar on Lean Transformation

Although the roots of "Lean" are manufacturing (the Toyota Production System), this powerful system has been applied in a growing range of types of enterprises.  This seminar is an introduction to Lean, with a new scope:  Lean Enterprise Transformation... any enterprise of any type.  The presenters are experienced Lean Transformation practitioners who have spent the past 15 years developing and implementing a systematic and now well-proven approach to Lean Transformation.
 
In this seminar, you will hear about diverse examples in service enterprises, military bases, government administration, the health care industry, nuclear power utilities, product development work and, of course, manufacturing too.  This seminar expands the application space for Lean from manufacturing to any area with work output and people involved.  Thoughtful consideration of what is presented may change your thinking about issues like outsourcing, supply chain design and the potential future for "made in America".  It's an optimistic and important message... come listen.
