LEAN : IS IT FOR ME ?

Beyond the buzzword

LEAN philosophy is, before all, a way to ask the right questions.  What does the customer pay for ? What steps of our processes have no value for the customers ? In these steps, what is necessary and what is waste… ?

On another hand, does LEAN answer all our questions ? Does it help, or… is it… a waste…?

During this seminar, after a short overview of LEAN principles and philosophy, speakers with a large practical experience in LEAN transformation will provide their opinion and share lessons learned.  At the end of the session, an open debate will provide you the possibility to ask YOUR questions  and to have a better understanding : are your expectations in line with what this solution can deliver ?
