Lean For Business is designed to encourage clients to adopt Lean business principles in their organisations to increase performance and competitiveness. Despite popular belief, this programme is suited to businesses of all sizes and in all sectors – it’s not just for big manufacturers.
To help small businesses better understand how Lean principles can transform their business, Local Enterprise Office Galway is hosting a free lunchtime webinar on September 12th from 12pm to 1pm. You can book your place online at localenterprise.ie/Galway HOW LEAN FOR BUSINESS WORKS
A Lean Service Provider will visit the company, evaluate its processes, and speak with managers about challenges faced by the business and the improvement project opportunities to be carried out over several weeks. Several Lean tools and techniques will be applied as appropriate to the needs of the business and improvement project at-hand.
Local business Stitches Alterations, based on Eyre Street, is among the recent participants in LEO Galway’s Lean for Business Programme.
The programme has allowed them to make significant improvements – from greatly reduced turnaround times to decreased stress levels.
Danielle Roche, who runs Stitches with her mother Chris, said that ‘since they started, they have seen massive improvements.
“Our communication has improved, and it’s a less stressful working environment now.
“It’s an easier workspace for the girls to navigate and the day just runs more smoothly. It’s a much happier working environment,” she added.
