Lean manufacturing helps you to look at your operation in a manner that identifies and eliminates non-value added activities, more commonly called WASTE! Lean establishes a systematic approach to eliminating waste and creating flow throughout the whole company. It also helps you develop and implement a long-term plan to streamline your operations for success by doing MORE with LESS!

At the end of the day you’ll understand how to use these tools to:
