INTRODUCTION
Lean Management is a customer focused improvement strategy for an immediate and effective response to fluctuating
customer demands and requirements. It is recognised that the implementation of Lean Operations can lead to substantial
improvements and benefits, including waste minimisation, reduced costs, better product flows, improved efficiencies and
increased customer and employee satisfaction. Lean techniques can, and have been, used successfully beyond the shop floor.
Lean thinking has evolved from the manufacturing environment to be applicable throughout an organisation and industries
outside manufacturing.
While Lean is deployed by many organizations, few companies have shown strong improvements. This is evident for
manufacturing and service companies with few achieving the full benefits that Lean philosophy claims to bring about.
Based on the principles of Lean Management, this programme demonstrates a synergistic merger of the tools and framework
for achieving operational excellence. This programme helps participants apply lean principles throughout the supply chain,
integrate suppliers, to be customer oriented, to continuously improve, to reduce wastes and variability and to build a learning
organization.
