| | Lean Manufacturing / Lean Service Organizations Nov_09 | | | | “Lean Manufacturing / Lean Service Organizations – choosing the best tools in tough economic times”Dr. Trevor Smith, Quality Integrated Solutions
Often when approaching quality improvement, people jump at using new tools. In challenging economic times there may be additional concerns trying new approaches. Lean models and tools helping to improve organizational effectiveness apply to manufacturing and service businesses alike, and it is mainly about people; Toyota say that Lean is 90% people and 10% tools. Many approaches from the Lean toolbox may be used in business applications but the effectiveness of deployment is dependent on how the tool is used and by whom. In this session, simple tools that are fundamental to Lean will be described and critiqued in relation to other quality approaches. Click here for Dr. Trevor N.
