Chance to learn about Lean

A consortium of nine suppliers to the manufacturing sector have formed The Lean Workshop Group. They comprise Bosch Rexroth, Spitfire Consultancy & Training, SICK UK, K. Hartwall, Orgatex, Bosch Power Tools, iCart, Hurst Green Plastics and WERMA Signaltechnik.

The Group has created a demonstration production cell for the seminars which will help to explain how Lean manufacturing is implemented, and how it can help companies to improve their efficiency, competitive position and profitability.

The cell embodies the latest developments in Lean manufacturing technology and manufactures real products. These are produced in a wide range of variants to show how effectively Lean manufacturing handles present-day requirements for high-mix production.

The seminars – which take place on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th April – are complemented by practical sessions in the production cell. Attendees can discuss their own specific problems and requirements with the presenters. For more information, go to: www.leanworkshopgroup.com
