Lean Workshops
Why is it that most companies attempting to go Lean do not
achieve nearly the results that are trumpeted in every trade journal and
business magazine? The answer, quite simply, is that Lean is a process in
which companies must continually learn and adjust. A through understanding of the complete set of
the Lean tools and the knowledge of when and how to apply each tool is a
base requirement for any company attempting a Lean Initiative. Most
companies attempt Lean without having built the strong knowledge base
required.
At Sterling Management, we believe that training is the single greatest
factor in the successful transition to a Lean Culture. Our Workshops are
geared towards helping manufacturing companies gain the required
skills to successfully implement Lean using existing company resources.
All of our Workshops are hands-on and
practical, not theory-focused seminars. Attendees are not just shown what
tools are available, they are trained in the application of the tools
covered by the workshop. For many of our workshops, attendees are asked to
prepare by familiarizing themselves with material before attending. In these
situations, review materials will be provided with registration
confirmation.
We regularly schedule each of our workshops as open
enrollment programs around the country. We also offer each workshop as an
in-house session to individual companies. In these circumstances, we are
able to use company data and equipment to demonstrate the
various techniques. To inquire about an in-house workshop,
