Funded SPRINT workshop: Applying lean tools and efficiencies to your business
Tue, 21 Mar 2023
Event Details
CPI are pleased to offer a workshop covering lean tools and efficiencies, facilitated through the SPRINT project and delivered by Claire Defty, an expert in lean practises for businesses across a variety of manufacturing sectors.
The Japanese word for waste is muda, which is defined as “uselessness.” Lean tools are designed to reduce Muda in organizations and improve quality control. In other words, Lean tools seek to eliminate processes that aren’t valuable.
In this two-day workshop, you’ll learn all the core aspects of lean operation guided by real-life examples to help you apply lean principles to your own business or manufacturing process, a small workshop-style format allows for discussion between groups and a deep analysis of lean principles.
This workshop will take place at The Trinity Centre in Cambridge, at the heart of Cambridge Science Park.
When the workshop concludes, you will have created useful working documents which apply lean principles to your own business, alongside a copy of the slides used during the workshop to be referenced afterwards.
