The 8 Wastes are Destroying Your Profits!
Take our lean quiz!

So you want to be a Project Manager!


Seminar Description:

Seminar Description:

Understanding the 8 Wastes is the foundation of lean thinking. Without a detailed comprehension of what they are, you won’t see them. Without a plan to eliminate them, they will continue to rob you of profits.

In most organizations, much of the daily effort is spent on wasteful activities. How much of your time do you spend fighting fires, expediting parts, or other activities which do not help reduce the waste in your operation, but merely allow you to make it through another day?

To eliminate waste, management, engineering, and supervisors must first understand the concepts and methods needed to develop and drive the organization toward a vision which they continuously champion. If you’re interested, this event will help you start your journey!

Good Project Managers manage. They don't co-ordinate, preside, administer, or watch events unfold. They don't like surprises so they work very hard to prevent them:
  • They plan in incredible detail
  • They foresee problems and eliminate them before they occur
  • They monitor rigorously to know when things are going off track
  • They deal with problems
  • They know how to get consensus but are willing to dictate if necessary
  • They scale the project management controls to match the project
  • They explain to the team the current situation
These events, which introduce participants to the concepts and tools of project management, are designed for engineers, executives, and managers of manufacturing, building and product development companies.
