Case Studies

WBS were contacted by Skillnets with a view to delivering a series of training courses which would introduce senior managers to the concept of lean thinking.

This leading UK manufacturer of vitamins and food supplements had been through a prolonged period of operational cost cutting including redundancies and organisational change. During this period WBS had already been retained to provide management training for the newly promoted Team Leaders and subsequently for the also newly promoted Crew Leaders.

After an initial assessment of the factory which identified a series of improvement opportunities, WBS were charged with delivering a training programme for 60 members of staff with participation of all levels from the Plant General Manager to Operators.
