5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT SET OF LEAN TRAINING MATERIALS, July 25, 2005

By 

Dale "Dale" (Madison, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lean Manufacturing Training Set (English Edition) (Spiral-bound)

I recently purchased the Lean Manufacturing Training Set at a Lean conference. The set included a Facilitator's Guide, 5 Participant Guides, 1 CD containing everything in Power Point so I could modify anything and print additional copies. It also included a detailed Lean simulation, along with a Lean Jeopardy game. The Power Point presentation included many examples of Lean tools in action. It is great to see how various Lean tools are used. I have customized this set to include many of our company examples. I am currently using this set to train over 1000 employees in our organization. This Training Set has saved me weeks, if not months, of my time in development. I recommend this to anyone that needs to train and implement Lean in an organization.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR STANDARDIZING YOUR TRAINING, August 6, 2005

By 

Dorothy from Ann Arbor (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lean Manufacturing Training Set (English Edition) (Spiral-bound)

The Lean Manufacturing Training Set was purchased for use to standardize all our training platforms across all our divisions. Having over 200+ Power Point slides, as well as the ability to customize, print your own Participant Guides, as well as the Lean Jeopardy game, makes this a must for any organization. We have customized this to our organization, but has saved us considerable time in money in the process. We now use parts of it for our Lean Office projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Production Training - Five Stars, January 13, 2011

We used The Lean Manufacturing Training Set to train all our 500+ employees on Lean. The Set was easy to customize as we added some of our own examples. We also distributed The New Lean Pocket Guide as course materials to each participant so they would have information available when assigned to an improvement project. The exercises were great for the shop floor people, as well as the machining and assembly examples. We also are now using The New Lean Office Training Set, as well as the pocket guide from MCS Media, Inc. or The Lean Store (commercial site), to train administrative areas. I cannot say enough about the value of these training sets - a glowing recommendation!
