Lean principles and techniques were developed within the automotive industry. However they have now brought successful transformation to many sectors of industry, including process, fabrication, pharmaceutical, construction, food, machinery etc.
Lean has also now been applied with great success in non manufacturing organisations, including banks, building societies, call centres, healthcare and office environments.
Pathfinder is associated with The Manufacturing Institute, which is a charitable organisation promoting best practice in manufacturing and other sectors. For more information about lean from the Manufacturing Institute, please click here.
Funded support can be arranged for SME manufacturing companies based in the North West, subject to availability and eligibility. Please call to arrange a free initial review.
