Lean manufacturing is more than just an alternative strategy for organizing and running an assembly line. In many ways, it's a different way of thinking. Join us for this free, hour-long seminar as we take a closer look at successfully implementing lean manufacturing; managing culture change in an organization; and providing strong management leadership for employees.
