If you’re looking for ways to adopt sustainable continuous improvements in your business — especially to increase productivity and competitiveness — then this free workshop is for you.

This breakfast workshop focuses on how to learn and understand Lean principles through fun, interactive exercises.

The event will be hosted in partnership with Dundee and Angus College at the brand new Engineering Partnership Innovation Centre (EPIC), Arbroath Campus, Keptie Road, DD11 3EA on Tuesday 19 March 2024 from 9am to 12pm.

What you’ll learn from this event

Improving productivity in your business can lead to a reduction in production costs and a more competitive business. Focusing on adding value through applying Lean techniques leads to improved quality, cost and delivery performance along with increased capacity.

This highly interactive event will simulate how businesses are run. It highlights some of the typical daily challenges that most businesses experience and demonstrates an alternative way of looking at your business.

You’ll find out how, by applying some simple ‘Lean Thinking Principles’, you can start to think and act differently to improve your business efficiency.

Why attend?

This event is for progressive people who wish to understand the basics of improvement through team-building exercises and practical application.

Through the manufacturing simulation provided, you’ll gain an understanding of the wastes, and learn the importance of Performance Management.

This activity workshop provides the opportunity to step back from current operations, review the essential implementation elements of improvement, and assess the way forward for your organisation.

Who should attend?

This event is suited for people at a Senior Manager level, those who have responsibility for championing or driving business improvement within the workplace, and/or those involved in the implementation of new processes and new ways of working.

The event has been timed to ensure minimum time away from the workplace. It starts at 9am with breakfast and refreshments and finishes promptly at noon.

There will be ample opportunity to network with like-minded people and explore ways that SMAS can support your business.

This event is free of charge, with limited places, so book early to avoid disappointment.
