Lean production has been around since the 1980s. However, proper and complete implementation still proves challenging for many companies – with more than half of companies not realizing full potential returns. There is a need to revisit the Lean implementation processes at senior management levels, especially in Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SME).
CTM’s Knowledge Center has developed an innovative Lean Thinking, self-directed E-Learning course, and kit for SME business owners and senior managers. The goal is to guide them to become capable of effectively creating a Lean implementation strategy with supportive tools to assist them in leading their company.
If you wish to pursue Lean Thinking in your company or to gain a better understanding of it, give CTM’s SME Lean Thinking Certification E-Learning course for business owners and senior managers a try. With CTM’s 30+ years of Lean implementation, its Knowledge Center developed this quick and very cost-effective program for senior executives to help them better understand how to lead a Lean company transformation.
