What was the most useful part of this training for you?
All the hands-on activities helped remember the principle of Lean ex: Lego exercise, t-shirt folding exercise.
What ideas or actions will take back to your workplace?
I really liked the critical window exercise as it helped me to understand the detail of the activity & helped develop some solutions not captured as part of the Kasizen/countermeasures (December 2018)
The application of theory we learned during the lecture sessions was particularly useful. We will slowly implement some measures that will help my department become more efficient. (December 2018)

I learnt how to solve problems using the 8 step methodology. I learnt about Kaizen events, TPM, 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban systems and about the numerous forms of work. I will use the 8-step methodology and I will try to eliminate work and ensure Lean manufacturing skills are implemented. (December 2018)

I enjoyed learning how to analyse different scenarios and detect the waste. I will observe processes closely, not change anything straight away and question old ways of doing things. (December 2018)
