What is Lean Academy?
Frontline Training Solutions’ Lean Academy is a four-hour training course designed to introduce participants to the history, importance, tools, and methods of Lean manufacturing. This introductory program will tie together the principles of Lean and the cultural mindset needed for waste reduction within your operating system.
Participants will learn how an understanding of Lean can drive higher efficiencies, higher profits, lower costs, and gained capacity by exploring the idea that every operational minute must be used for value-add activities. All the ideas presented are applicable to manufacturing and non-manufacturing businesses alike.
No matter the business you are in, performing work in the most efficient way possible is going to be a key element in the retention battle. Not only should we explore ways to be more efficient for efficiency’s sake, but worker satisfaction also grows when the job becomes more productive with less effort.
Lean Academy is available in person at our training facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a virtual training format, or onsite at your company anywhere in the country.
