BECOMING LEAN

Practical steps to build competitiveness

Lean for Micro Information Session March 10th 2017 9.30 Aras Kill Dara ,Naas

 

The Kildare Local Enterprise Office’s in association with Enterprise Ireland are offering clients the opportunity to adopt Lean business principles in their organisation to increase performance and competitiveness.

Lean tools and techniques are helping companies across the globe to address competitiveness issues within their businesses, building the capability of their people to identify issues and improve their operations, increasing capacity as they improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Lean is shorthand for focusing on effectiveness and efficiency across all areas of a business. Lean works most effectively where it has become the way of doing business, where it is a fundamental part of the business strategy and not just “using some tools”. Those that embark on the full lean program can avail of 5 days consultancy from a Lean Expert (Qualified Practitioner) from EI approved lean consultants (value  €5000)
