• For manufacturers, the challenge is also how to get more from existing investments
in plant, machinery and people without spending more on new resources

will help you to understand proven techniques that
lead to quantifiable improvements in customer service,
production capacity and financial performance.
Find out how small operational changes, can make a
huge difference.
This workshop will help you identify and
implement improvements through:

manufacturing tools
• Identification of the 7 types of waste found in
manufacturing, eg over-production and excess
inventory
• Shop floor layout: identification and
improvement techniques
• Showing how reducing batch sizes adds to
manufacturing flexibility
• Applying the concepts within your own business
