Dear Executives,
In the early 1990s Lean Production was seen as an effective means for an organisation to transform itself to become radically more effective as a means for shortening lead times and removing waste from the organisation to improve the bottom line. In more recent years, the same basic principles have been applied by leading companies to the entire value stream to lead to significantly greater gains. Enterprises employing these ideas throughout the value stream (suppliers, logistics, operations, distribution, customers and other players in the value stream) are termed Lean Enterprises.
The Lean Enterprise is an organisation transformed and integrated: Transformed in relations with suppliers, in organisation of production (or service supply), in methods of distribution, and in relationships with customers. It is integrated in that all of these components are transformed into a harmonious whole with designed around the customer and the customer’s needs.
The Lean Enterprise is more effective because it eliminates waste and variation in critical business systems to enable the organisation to exceed customer expectations and enable continual and sustainable profitable business growth.
The Lean Enterprise is ideally suited for the current and moderate term future state of China - facing rapid growth, sustaining price pressure, a need in many industries to move to higher degrees of sophistication of products and to customisation instead of batch production methods.
I look forward exploring with you the Lean Enterprise, its relevance for your organisation, and how your organisation can implement the ideas of the Lean Enterprise for greater growth, cost savings and increased profit.

Description |
|
| |
|
|
|
The programme will look at the Lean Enterprise from multiple levels - the shop floor level, the plant level, the business unit level and the supply chain level. The programme covers best current methods for lean at all four levels, and provides helpful insights and strategies for implementation of the Lean Enterprise. Instruction in the programme is by lecture, by case studies, by simulations and by exercises, with a major emphasis on physical simulation as a device for enabling learning which leads to application. The programme is highly interactive, and provides a platform for the participants to exchange their ideas and learn from the instructors as well as each other. |

Participants |
|
| |
|
|
|
The programme is aimed at the senior level operations or logistics managers, who wish either to apply the methods of the Lean Enterprise in their organisation or to determine if they should apply those methods. Professionals in other functional areas who either affect operations or logistics or will be affected by changes in operations in logistics which radically shorten lead time, reduce costs or improve the ability to configure product or service should attend. Senior executives working to decide whether to apply the methods of the Lean Enterprise in their organisation should attend. |
