Lean Enterprise Workshop Series

Almost half the U.S. manufacturers plan to implement lean. But, implementation has been slow because consultants can be expensive, it's difficult to sustain the effort, and companies don't see real improvement for a very long time. So, The Employers Council has developed an intensive workshop series of nine one-day sessions, focusing on the most important components of implementing lean principles. This hard-hitting workshop is designed to teach participants what to do and show them how to do it. Instructor Jerry Kilpatrick will follow up with participants outside of class to help them immediately implement what they learned.
