Public Workshops
Lean Quest partners with organizations that focus on education to deliver some of our most popular training programs in workshops available to individuals in a public format. This allows you to explore the concepts of Lean in a learning centered safe environment. You can see our training with a low level of commitment and network with other students.
For many years Lean Quest has offered workshops through:
-
Lean Enterprise Institute
-
Georgia Tech Professional Education
These offerings combine classroom learning with simulations designed to enhance the learning of the students. The training is focused in implementing Lean in the warehouse and through your supply chain.
Both partners offer multiple sessions each year. To find the updated schedule and register for a public workshop, follow the links below:
