Applying Lean Management in the Public Sector
The 4-day event includes a combination of presentations, case studies, experiential learning simulations and discussion by internationally renowned industry leaders. On day 4, a morning field trip is planned to a lean project location.
Applying lean thinking and lean production to the public sector aim to provide value for the government, companies and supply chain partners alike. In addition it aims to improve efficiency with a resultant increase in the profitability of the supply chain through a focus on eliminating waste and improving the reliability of planning and work flow. The conference will bring together case examples from around the world.
