Lean Manufacturing Training for Frontline Workers: The Key to Your Efficiency Efforts

Watch Now

If you’re interested in lean manufacturing, you’re interested in numbers. So how about these: 72% of manufacturers say production would increase and 91% say their workers would be more engaged in efficiency efforts…if the workers understood lean principles and objectives. Yet only 40% of manufacturers provide lean manufacturing training to frontline workers.

Why is that?

It’s in part because lean training historically isn’t geared toward frontline worker roles. But with nearly every manufacturer certain it would improve their efficiency efforts, it’s time to solve for that gap. Join this complimentary webinar to learn how.

Webinar agenda includes:

    • Creating a lean training program that gets every level of employee on same page
    • Adult learning techniques and proven best practices to use in training development
    • Key messaging for frontline workers
    • Lean training for supervisors, including advanced topics and engagement tactics

We’ll also preview example lean training courses, and leave time for Q&A discussion.
