Lean Management Thinking
Each Lean programme that CQM Training & Consultancy deliver is tailor made to ensure the greatest business benefit is gained by your company or organisation.
The programme will provide jargon-free help to your teams who will be ‘challenged’ to make significant improvements to their operations.
All the time, our experienced trainers will provide close support and help to keep your team on track.
Our carefully developed and successful formula works every time and will help you generate real savings. It involves giving your chosen team the problem of solving techniques that they will need and then coaching on your site to actually produce the savings and improvements.
The Lean programme is specifically designed so that upon completion your team will have acquired the knowledge to continually improve your processes and embed change.
