Lean Thinking as you've never thought of it before - transform your whole business

Most of the companies we invite to our free-of-charge foundation days have heard of 'lean', but many simply haven't realised how much it can do for them.  Often it is used simply to improve production processes, but if you choose to do so it can completely transform your business, gaining unprecedented levels of performance from staff and capital.

The key to doing this is how you go about it.

Few companies have time to plan training, business and staff development as a package, and so use ad-hoc support in specific areas.  This can undoubtedly make local improvements.  However, a fully integrated implementation programme targeting staff development and process improvement across the company and focusing on key business issues, with set schedules and a strong external drive for success, will be far more than the sum of its parts.  It will exploit the synergies which appear when improvements are made in a number of areas simultaneously, massively boosting effectiveness and sustainability - the Lean Multiplier.

Companies currently have unique opportunities to profit from a changed commercial landscape.  Those who have weathered the recession can establish a strong position than before by keeping their new lower cost base whilst increasing capacity and flexibility.  The Lean Multiplier helps you to:

• increase profits
• improve quality
• reduce lead times
• engage staff at all times
• reduce working capital
• improve accountability
• increase capacity
• increase flexibility

The foundation day is a day of learning, demonstration and practical planning from The Lean Consortium, one of the North's top lean providers.  We will show you how to use lean techniques not just to reduce costs, but to support all your business improvement needs.  During the day you will learn which key lean techniques will best apply in your company, how to multiply their impact by using each one to lever another, and take part in a live demonstration of the different that they can make to your business process.  We'll even provide lunch.

Our complete lean implementation programme has been helping companies grow since 2002; it's a unique and highly effective method of making lasting improvements, and we do it like we do it because we don't think that any other way provides the same results.  Short term and piecemeal efforts can provide local changes, but for sustainable, double digit improvements a unified Multiplier approach is required.  We can't get all of the detail across in just one day, but we fit in as much value as we can. The last Foundation Day got outstanding feedback from the participants who all went away with useful and practical steps they could apply at work. You'll be alongside other business leaders who want to know more about using these techniques to improve results, and there will be plenty of opportunity to compare notes.  There will also be a chance to hear from some previous Lean Consortium participants who will relate their experiences of finding 'a better way'.
