Lean is getting the job done using only the necessary resources. It means the elimination of waste and unnecessary activities. Many organizations spend a high percentage of employee time trouble-shooting and generating reports instead of creating value that brings in revenue for the organization.
This training course aims to provide you with a clear understanding of the importance of being Lean, including problem solving and reporting within the organization.
