the fact

"The US financial crisis has spiralled into 'the largest financial shock since the Great Depression' and there is now a three-in-four chance of a full-blown global recession."

Organisations seeking to exploit global markets or to survive in local markets, will soon be hitting an 'invisible' but nonetheless debilitating wall; mounting complexity across the value chain and lacklustre business performance. As the economic pendulum swings on the opposite direction, cost cutting pressures are very likely to put Lean Thinking back in the spotlight.

DIFFICULT TIMES DEMAND LEANER OPERATIONS

Yet, amid this mounting complexity, many forward thinking enterprises are fully positioned for the challenge as they continue their quest for growth and profitability.

THEIR SECRET WEAPON... LEAN THINKING

THE RESULT:
80%+ Reduction in Inventory
30-60% Slash of Direct Labour/Staff Cost
50% Savings of Overhead Expense
40-60% Reduction in Logistics Cost
90-100% Less Errors/Defects
30-40% Cut in Capital Equipment and Capex

BEHIND THE NUMBERS....
Amazing business success stories, steadily taking market share from price-cutting competitors, earning far more profit than ever, and winning the accolades of business leaders worldwide.
Intelligent moves in every corner of the operation, from product design and marketing to operations and leadership, from customer relationship and logistics, to managing projects and administration.

THE THIRST...
Many who have emulated this phenomenal system have seen double and triple digit productivity growth, as well as unprecedented customer satisfaction levels. This included names like GE, Autoliv, Baxter, AMD, Solectron, Xerox...

TODAY...
Lean Thinking is bringing competitive improvements not just throughout the value chain, but throughout the company as lean principles are beginning to be applied to operations, administration, product development, project and construction management, back-office functions and even accounting!

THIS ADVANCED MASTERCLASS...
Will divulge how to get beyond a focus on the surface tools and techniques of Lean by creating a Second Industrial Revolution type of culture - by showcasing a LEAN LEARNING ENTERPRISE.

You'll learn how to:
OPTIMISE MATERIALS AND INFORMATION FLOW
IMPROVE THE SPEED OF YOUR BUSINESS PROCESSES
IMPROVE DRASTICALLY PRODUCT AND SERVICE QUALITY
CUT WASTE TO THE ROOTS AND BENEATH


NO MATTER WHAT YOUR INDUSTRIAL SECTOR IS
LEAN ISN'T AN OPTION ANY MORE - IT'S A NECESSITY!!!!!!

from the desktop of Carlo Scodanibbio

Dear Delegate(s),

Lean Thinking is changing the way organisations operate. No longer stuck in the paradigm of "mass" thinking, many enterprises, including service and project-driven companies as well as governmental bodies/institutions, have tried to adopt some portions of the Toyota Production System, the Lean philosophy. Many have failed. Many have rushed off, taken a course and pronounced themselves LEAN. Yet very few have tested the depths of overall performance enhancement and added competitiveness possible with a complete change of paradigms in the "lean" direction.

Research by Gallup has uncovered that less than 30% of employees are truly engaged in their jobs. Lean Thinkers have long shown that an additional 25-40% of the work done by most organisations is waste or non-value added. This means that nearly 40% of every payroll dollar is lost. With the difficult times ahead, can you afford to lose 40% of your time as a company?

This course will be a shocking course for many of you. Because it demystifies all traditional principles of the first industrial revolution on which most enterprises, still today, are built or around which they operate. By presenting in rather great detail the philosophy of the second industrial revolution and the main tools and disciplines readily available to all enterprises to perform in an "excellent" status, this course is a door-opener to lean practices for whoever is: ready to listen to message - prepared to abandon obsolete principles, formulas and approaches - willing to get to "lean" status.
This course will prove that competitiveness today can no longer be achieved by merely cutting costs or revamping technology: because cutting costs has a floor, while performance improvement through maximisation of value-added and waste elimination has no ceiling -and because technology alone does not generate the levels of output value enterprises and organisations need to tackle the challenges of the new millennium.
This course is the logic development and extrapolation of my "Next Generation Lean Manufacturing" course, dedicated to the Manufacturing Industry. It shows that Lean principles can and should be adopted not only in Operational Manufacturing processes of any nature, but also in all other processes (commercial, administrative, logistics-related, etc.) and also in the operational processes of non-manufacturing enterprises, such as service establishments and project-driven companies. By showing that "thinking" is what must change at all levels of an organisation, this course will prove that higher levels of performance can be achieved if you create the right conditions.

I GUARANTEE that you will leave this workshop with the knowledge and tools to improve the value proposition of your operations! See you soon in Cape Town!
