The Lean Office

Migrating Lean to Administrative & Office Operations

This active program translates the techniques and benefits of Lean Manufacturing into the Lean Office. The benefits in office, administrative and service environments are often greater than in the factory. Moreover, they frequently are easier to implement.

Exercises and examples from our work in administrative and office and service operations illustrate both general concepts and specific practices. We can pair this program with a subsequent Kaizen Event to immediately bring the principles to life and streamline workflow in your business.
