Lean Thinking

Companies that have embraced LEAN thinking have the tools to consistently increase productivity, improve customer experience, and create a more focused and profitable organisation.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, in cooperation local business associations can support your business to introduce the globally renowned Lean business tools and techniques.

We offer 2 levels of support:

1. Lean for Leaders

(for businesses 30 or more employees) 

The Lean for Leaders programme is aimed at Senior Executives managing companies with more than 30 employees. The programme will introduce the concepts of Lean thinking and it will involve actively bringing Lean tools into their organisations by undertaking a specific improvement project that will create a significant positive impact on their company.

Participants will take part in a series of weekly interactive workshops and also benefit from one-to-one mentoring with a Lean specialist. The mentor will guide the company on their lean journey with the aim of delivering targeted results.

A key focus of the Lean for Leaders programme is on the transfer of knowledge and understanding to build the capability and capacity of companies to apply lean principles. But most importantly the programs is to encourage Lean thinking at senior management as all change needs to come from the top.
