Improve your business productivity

The Lean Business programme may be able to assist your company to improve performance, eliminate inefficient processes and activities, and increase customer satisfaction.

Lean Business systems can enable businesses to improve productivity, become more competitive, grow sales and increase profits.

Successfully applying Lean Business systems can help you:

identify what processes add value and eliminate waste
improve production flow and reduce lead times
reduce inventories, freeing up capital and saving space
engage staff more effectively and develop their skills
create a culture of continuous improvement
improve staff morale.

The Lean Business programme currently includes:

a seminar for senior company managers to help them understand the principals and benefits of applying lean business systems and the importance of leadership to success.
up to $20,000 over a 12 month period to help businesses engage a consultant to provide initial staff training and to develop a plan for implementing lean business systems. This funding needs to be matched by the company.
