"Without doubt the best continuous improvement course I have attended thus far. The material presented and the activities conducted were practical, relevant and comprehensive. Importantly, the various continuous improvement approaches explained and demonstrated were integrated in a way that made tremendous sense. This was a very rich learning experience reinforced by the presenters living out the 'lean way' in their running of the 3 days. 10/10."
Peter Robertson, Vice President, Operations Planning - BlueScope Steel.
“I have attended the 3 day Lean 4x4 Continuous Improvement Course - after personally being involved in implementing “lean practices” for almost 15 years. It proved the most practical and comprehensive approach I have yet encountered that caters for all levels within an organization proceeding on the journey of “lean thinking”. The course presents a practical, common sense approach backed by the practical experience and passion of the presenters. It genuinely achieves results that can easily be translated into improved business practices.”
Grant Forsdick - CEO of Strata Control Systems.
“Dennis, our organisation has been on the path toward lean for a few years and we've have been learning as we go. I found your three day workshop most valuable as it reinforced my overall concept of what lean is about as well as offering tools to help our organisation continue down the lean journey. It also gave us a structure toward implementation, something that many people that I have engaged over the years have struggled with.
Ricardo Alonso, Manufacturing Manager, MAHLE Engine Components Australia

recommend to anyone who is looking to reduce waste & add value in any
operation.

Being involved with various lean programs I
found this approach much more beneficial. The simulation approach was a
great example of understanding the methodology and different skills
required to implement Lean. The maturity profile was a great tool to
identify current and future improvement opportunities.
Robert Giammario, Process Improvement Manager, Tieman
Course was excellent in showing how teamwork is
integeral with lean manufacturing.
Simon Connaughton, Engineering Supervisor, Tieman
I have done many training sessions on 5S, TPS,
TPM, etc. Lean Capabilities are able to present the fundamentally
important aspects of these philosophies without focussing on less
important things like japanses terminology. Presented in easy to
understand, every-day English!

Great hands-on practical learning.

workplace and less stressful environment. We will implement many of the
aspects in the near future.
