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."

Manufacturers seeking to exploit global 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 these mounting complexity, many forward thinking manufacturers are fully positioned for the challenge as they continue their quest for growth and profitability.

THEIR SECRET WEAPON... LEAN MANUFACTURING

THE RESULT:
70%+ Reduction in Inventory
30-60% Slash of Direct Labour/Staff Cost
50% Savings of Overhead Labour
40-60% Reduction in Direct Materials Cost
90-100% Less 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 any other manufacturers,
and winning the accolade of business leaders worldwide. Intelligent moves in every corner of the operation, from product design and marketing to manufacturing and leadership.

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 back-office functions as well.

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

You'll learn how to:
OPTIMISE MATERIALS 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 MANUFACTURING ISN'T AN OPTION ANY MORE - IT'S A NECESSITY!!!!!!

from the desktop of Carlo Scodanibbio

Dear Delegate(s),

The Lean Philosophy is changing the way organisations operate. No longer stuck in the paradigm of "mass" thinking, many manufacturing enterprises have tried to adopt some portions of the Lean road. 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.

This course will be a shocking course for many of you, because it demystifies all traditional principles of the first industrial revolution which majority of manufacturing enterprises are built or operate until today. By presenting in rather great detail the philosophy of the second industrial revolution and the main tools and disciplines readily available to all manufacturing enterprises to perform in an "excellent" status, this course is a door-opener to lean practices for whoever is:
ready to listen to the 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 tough times ahead.

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!

Dr. Carlo Scodanibbio
