Further Details
As negative inflation approaches, the ability to take cost out of our businesses in order to retain margins has never been greater. In just the same way, local authorities, central government and the public services are charged with providing best value services with little or no increase in funding.
For continuous downward pressure on costs to be sustainable, a systematic application of lean techniques affecting all levels of the organisation is needed.
Typically, waste measurement techniques reveal an activity/waste ratio of 1. This gives an opportunity for improvement of 100% right across your business – and this workshop shows you how to tackle the problem and begin to turn it into immediate cost savings.
