Hampshire manufacturers offered Toyota lean training programme

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 12:30 · Archive

Hampshire manufacturers can join a two-day Toyota-backed lean manufacturing programme run by Made Smarter South East.

Hampshire manufacturers are invited to join a two-day lean manufacturing programme under a collaboration between Made Smarter South East and the Toyota Lean Management Centre. The scheme aims to help small and medium-sized enterprises improve processes, eliminate waste and boost productivity.

The initiative is part of the Government-backed Made Smarter South East technology adoption scheme. It focuses on helping manufacturers make operational improvements before investing in new digital tools. The Toyota Lean Management Centre, established in the UK in 2009, was created to share the principles and practices of the Toyota Production System with other organisations through training and practical support.

Jez Heys, technology adoption specialist at Made Smarter South East, said that digital transformation requires manufacturers to understand their processes and identify waste and improvement opportunities. 'Lean and digital transformation work hand in hand,' Heys said, adding that the collaboration gives South East SMEs access to 'decades of world-class manufacturing expertise' to improve operations and make better decisions about technology investment.
