PIONEERING executives and managers are applying the principles of lean thinking to business processes across the enterprise to improve competitivenesss and accelerate growth.
Learn how lean thinking can transform your business and manufacturing processes at the fourth Lean Enterprise Australia Summit – Lean Thinking in Manufacturing & Services.
The summit will be held at the Park Hyatt, Melbourne, 26-27 February 2008 and will be two days of thought-provoking keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and the industry’s best networking.
The realisation that lean thinking is not a novelty but a necessity to stay competitive has changed the way the world does business.
At this summit, attendees will learn directly from pioneering lean leaders and implementers including John Shook, Senior Adviser to the Lean Enterprise Institute, John Toussant, CEO of Thedacare, and executives from Qantas, National Australia Bank and other leading Australian companies.
These companies have all had remarkable success using lean thinking and moving beyond isolated islands of kaizen and application of tools, to the use of a lean management system connecting the enterprise.
Peter Walsh, Lean Enterprise Australia President, said the summit will be a great way to forge new relationships, learn from pioneers/veterans, discover what’s new, and gain new perspectives no matter where you are on your lean journey.
He also encourages attendees to bring a colleague from operations, supply chain, sales and marketing to hear together and learn together.
Pre and post summit workshops (including a half-day for CEOs on Lean Leadership with John Shook) will be offered, and will be announced soon on the along with the full description of the Lean Summit events.
