If you’re interested in lean manufacturing, you’re interested in numbers. So how about these: 72% of manufacturers say production would increase and 91% say their workers would be more engaged in efficiency efforts…if the workers understood lean principles and objectives. Yet only 40% of manufacturers provide lean manufacturing training to frontline workers.
Why is that?
It’s in part because lean training historically isn’t geared toward frontline worker roles. But with nearly every manufacturer certain it would improve their efficiency efforts, it’s time to solve for that gap. Here’s how Intertek Alchemy can help with that:
- Courses on key lean principles specifically designed to teach frontline workers the “why” behind the “what”
- Advanced lean training for supervisors to accelerate adoption and efficiency
- Real-world, practical approaches provided, plus a Resource Guide to extend learning
See the course list below.
