Case studies Lean Thinking, Business Mentors, Development & Help - Opportunity Hamilton

 

Lean Thinking

Lean Thinking - often referred to as Lean Manufacturing, but applicable to any business – teaches techniques based on Japanese manufacturing principles.
Lean Thinking is all about making simple changes to your workplace that make employees’ lives easier and more enjoyable, while helping you achieve increased productivity and profitability.
Many Waikato companies have undertaken Lean Thinking training and profess its benefits. Two recent ‘converts’ to Lean are Camtech Nutrition and TCS.
Both have trained with one of New Zealand’s top experts, Richard Brathwaite, through workshops developed for Opportunity Hamilton.
