Online-Training: Lean Management

Furthermore, Lean Management includes a bundle of principles and methods to plan, design and control the entire value chain.

A company acting according to these principles focuses on the essentials, the internal and external customer requirements, and uses less of everything - less time and fewer resources.

Lean Management capitalises on using the methods, the physical skills and the know-how of all employees, their participation and their development and on the change process led by the management.
