AME Webinar: Lean Thinking in Office and Service Environments |
![]() |
Most of us have long believed that the right way to migrate lean manufacturing to other areas of the company, or even other industries, is to simply “copy and paste” everything we learned and did in manufacturing to the opportunity at hand. How’s that working for you? How can we expect this to work well when the culture, context, problems and mechanics of the work are not the same in different environments?
This webinar will get us to the root of lean thinking and put it in perspective of an information (semi-paperless) world where emergent work lives inside broken processes and creates havoc for customers, employees, and stakeholders. If your office and service processes appear to be broken, this webinar is for you.
