lt;pgt; This awareness course enables delegates to understand the benefits of lean for their organisation; the key lean principles, tools and techniques and how to approach implementation.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt; Lean thinking has become a widely adopted improvement approach that can greatly simplify processes and improve performance in both manufacturing and service organisations. Lean recognises that most of an organisationamp;#39;s processes are at best 40% value adding. Effectively applying Lean principles and tools can significantly improve the percentage of value added time; reduce process timescales; and reduce waste and the associated costs. At the same time there will be an improvement in customer service and satisfaction levels.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt; For delegates to be able to undertake even a basic improvement project they will need to undertake further courses in order to have sufficient knowledge.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt; If you have any queries about your projects following the course or wish to submit your project for accreditation then please contact the Lean Six Sigma group via the email lt;a href="mailto:Leanaccreditation@qa.com" shape="rect"gt;Leanaccreditation@qa.comlt;/agt;lt;/pgt;
