"The most positive, momentous experience I have had on my best practice journey so far.
The program does not hang its hat on buzz words, acronyms and rhetoric. It is a practical and powerful medium for learning all the techniques in the lean/best practice toolbox.
The program also challenges you to actively seek out new opportunities in your professional life, your work and your industry.
The deliverables on the horizon for me and my organisation include the introduction of Every Product Every Interval, FIFO Lanes, Andon Boards, Standard Work and a much better understanding of the financial dynamics of a business."
"The business is going well - we have initiated all the things from my assignment and are better for it. All in all the Best Practice program has probably saved us about $2 million in working capital and about $750,000 in direct costs - not bad for 2 nights a week and $5,000."
"I must also thank you for opening my eyes up to a whole new world of management for me."
