 "The People Side of Lean"

Rick Bohan

WINOC Lean Consultant, Owner - GPB Consulting

Almost 70% of all major projects that involve organizational change fail, and that includes implementations of Lean Manufacturing.  It's not because Lean Manufacturing is so hard to understand.  It's because managers don't pay attention to culture change as they try to implement systems change.  Rick will present how to avoid that problem and make your lean implementation successful.

Following the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to tour the GED facility and then to roundtable with GED and other area manufacturers for group discussion.
