COURSE INFORMATION
Viewing Lean in action at one of our state of the art manufacturing facilities is an integral part of this course. This course is therefore only available at either our Deeside Engine Plant or Burnaston Car Plant.
We normally start day 1 at 09:00 but it's an early breakfast on day 2 so that you can arrive at 07:30 to meet a Toyota Senior Manager and see how they setup for success. Day 1 runs until 17:00 after which instructors will meet you at your hotel for a meal at 18:30. On day two you will finish at 16:00. Agendas can be modified to suit client requirements.
