This interactive workshop is based on the 2009 Shingo Research Prize winning publication Staying Lean: Thriving not just Surviving by Professor Peter Hines, Dr Pauline Found, Gary Griffiths and Richard Harrison.
Professor Peter Hines gave this workshop in Ireland several times last year and received great feedback each time:
- Absolutely superb. The sort of day that you walk away from feeling privileged to have attended.
- Very good session focusing on behaviours and leadership skills as compared to training courses that spend a lot of time on Lean tools
- Very knowledgeable presenters, excellent practical examples and case studies. Good emphasis on pertinent points and pitfalls.
- Very good overview. Gave me cause to think beyond tools.
Staying Lean tells the story of how a multi-national manufacturing organisation successfully implemented and sustained Lean Enterprise operational improvements to help turnaround its financial performance. The story is based around the Lean Iceberg Model of sustainable change and addresses the often invisible, and hard to copy, enabling elements of successful Lean Management in manufacturing organisations: Strategy and Alignment, Leadership, Behaviour and Engagement as well as the more visible features: Process Management and the application of Lean Technology, Value Stream Tools and Techniques.
The book can be used as a practical workbook to guide practitioners along their own Lean journey so that Lean becomes embedded in the organisation and sustains the performance improvements over the long-term.
