REVIEWS OF THIS COURSE
N Tressou
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)
D Shaughnessy
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)
D Rowan
Learning the required tool to solve a problem or prove the problem exists was the most useful part of this training course.
What ideas or actions will take back to your workplace? Lean tools to solve issues and document a problem. When production starts in full these will be invaluable. (December 2018)
B Roe
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)
M Moyaert
The most useful part of this training course was the mentor sessions, tools & methods: 5s, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping. Going forward I will look at processes with ‘lean’ eyes. Don’t take anything for granted. Ask questions. Ask ‘Why?’ (December 2018)
J Mavare
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)
A Gillespie
What was the most useful part of this training for you?
Learning about Lean. Implementing my project on time & the huge positive impact it has on my role in the company.
What ideas or actions will take back to your workplace?
I will be a lot more open-minded to Lean in the company. (December 2018)
