The BEC is offering a one-day session: "Overview of Lean". This Session is the beginning of your journey toward world-class and provides the answers to your questions on Lean. This new approach to thinking and learning supports the paradigms that we hope for: creating vibrant, healthy, competitive, world-class companies that optimize people, processes and resources to succeed globally and build wealth for stakeholders. This is a quantum leap in the application of Lean training and methodology: don't just be Lean - be vibrant, healthy and fit.

Upon completion of the Overview of Lean, participants will be able to:

  • Understand and define the principles of Lean
    • What is Lean?
    • What are the principles of Lean?
    • What Lean tools are available to industry?
    • Where are Lean tools most effective?
    • How can I implement Lean in my organization?
  • Understand How Lean methodology supports your business initiatives

** Overview of Lean is a prerequisite for most BEC Lean Courses.
