Lean and Continuous Improvement: Making a Gain, and Making It Stay
You take one sewing line, one improvement, and the ten weeks in which it quietly left. You see where lean's assumptions hold in a factory that changes style often, and where they break, priced. You learn to run one change so the result can be told apart from an ordinary good fortnight. And you meet the four forces that take a proven gain apart while the output figure keeps rising.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can walk a factory from cutting table to packed carton and account for where every minute went. You can balance a line against a target, and say which of your rooms is the constraint on a given order.
Who it is for
Factory and supplier teams.
What you will produce
You work out a break-even for turning one of your own lines into cells, counted in style changes a year. You write a trial plan that says how many days you must watch before your result means anything. You split a changeover into line-stopped and off-line work, with a payback in days. And you run a five-point check on why a past improvement decayed, priced as a share of the gain.
