Improving quality, productivity & cost has always been the focus of manufacturing industry. The recessionary period that has just passed by, has made us realise that improvement on these fronts is not optional, it is a necessity. It is now prudent for every manufacturing professional (or, aspiring to be) to treat Lean Management as a mandatory subject to be understood & practiced. This Lean Management course intends to provide the learners an in-depth understanding of the Lean management with a macro view to be able to strategise as well as a micro perspective that will facilitate implementation.
The lean business model used in the programme is structured on the lines of Toyota production system.
