OVERVIEW Delegates will, through the use of simulation techniques, extensive worksite study and classroom presentation, grasp the meaning of key elements of TPS and gain appreciation of its practical application. In addition to the content of the 1.5 day workshop during the 2 day workshop we will focus on culture and behaviour making this course most relevant to Senior Managers and those responsible for leading Lean transformations.

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.
