CDG Lean Advisory Services

Lean has long been known as a tool for improving manufacturing production processes. What many people may not realize is that outside of the manufacturing production arena, Lean process improvements can have remarkable impacts on every other back-office business area as well. In this area of back-office Lean efficiency practices, CDG excels.

CDG's Lean Advisory Services can be structured in the form of defined packaged workshops to address a particular process area or department, or can be offered on an hourly advisory services basis.

CDG's Lean introduction class is a 5-6 hour Lean overview that explains what Lean is, how it works, and provides a high-level understanding of its concepts, theories and methodologies. Training Modules included in this session are:

• Introduction – Know Your Business
