Lean continues to be considered the foundation for many of the new challenges in our factories! But how can we ensure that once Lean successes have been achieved, they are established on a sustainable basis? And how can we introduce new and young employees to these proven methods?

This training takes place in cooperation with three organizing companies. For many years, these companies have been developing successful multiplication and training concepts in a network with the best lean implementations in Germany, thus ensuring sustainability in their own plants. Looking beyond the horizon and exchanging ideas across companies is a decisive factor for success. 

All modules take place live in factories in a practical setting.
