Lean and Process Improvement is a philosophy that is part of everything we do however, there is more to Lean than training and ‘belts’. It is a culture and way of working that needs to be accepted. However for any new skill, there needs to be some kind of coaching and training.
At Turlon & Associate, we provide training in the Lean 6 Sigma process enhancement and design methodology, providing staff with excellent techniques for improving work processes. We have worked with clients ranging from Financial Institutions who are embracing lean process management to Biomedical organisations who fine tune Lean / Process practices.
