After the success of our Lean manufacturing conference in 2009, Works Management is delighted to announce that it will once again bring together manufacturers that are leading the way in lean processes and practices at Learning Lean 2010.
This time, our overarching theme, Winning hearts and minds, recognises that people and the ways in which they are recruited, trained, motivated and retained are essential to the successful implementation of lean manufacturing.
This conference will provide the opportunity to hear first hand from fellow manufacturers who have successfully introduced the process to their business – and sustained it.
At Learning Lean 2010 you will learn about the benefits your peers have gained from lean manufacturing and how to reproduce them in your own plant.
• Hear in-depth case studies presented by manufacturers who are leading the way in lean
• Meet other manufacturing managers facing similar challenges to your own
• Work with your peers at lean problem solving workshops
Among the key topics to be addressed:
• Winning support from the top floor
• Communicating the vision
• Helping the workforce adapt to change
• Building trust and inspiring commitment
• Lean training and development
• Personal empowerment and accountability
• Developing a team-based culture
• Continuous workforce development
• Sustaining gain when enthusiasm starts to wane
• Monitoring progress and sharing the results
