About Lean for Micro

Lean for Micro is designed to encourage clients to adopt Lean business principles in their organisations to increase competitiveness.

What is Lean?

Lean is about being effective and efficient - doing things quicker, better, cheaper…together.  Lean strives to stamp out waste and to continually improve.

Lean helps ensure flexibility, responsiveness, efficiency, innovation and by continuously listening to the customer allows companies to compete and win on merit.

Implementation

The programme involves a short in-company assignment by an external ‘Lean’ consultant who will introduce Lean principles and complete a specific cost reduction project.

The programme will commence with a diagnosis of current practice and performance. Key performance indicators will be established to achieve targeted business improvement measures based on a set of Lean tools and methodologies tailored to suit each client’s situation.

The normal cost of the programme to the company is €1,000 with LEOs support of an additional €4,000. However we are offering a special introductory fee of €250 per company for the first 5 companies signed up.
