Lean management takes the well-established waste elimination techniques that have been the backbone of UK manufacturing competitiveness for many years and applies them across the full breadth of day to day business activities. 

Bourton Group’s approach to lean management has been developed to provide business teams with the know-how, tools and techniques and culture change to ensure sustainable change. We configure programmes to deliver the optimum balance of training and consulting providing early benefits. Our full suite of lean management modules, tools and techniques for both the hard and soft side of lean management ensures that the correct balance can be achieved.

Lean Office Training

Lean office training is a major module of our lean management services and in many cases is the backbone to successful lean management implementation in a business. Lean management is not just about streamlining factory floor processes, it is about streamlining your business as a whole and a major part of your business is the office and admin related processes.

This is where lean office training comes into effect. We provide training allowing the backbone of your business (office work and admin) to benefit from the advantages of lean management.

We have undertaken Lean Office Training and Management assignments in a wide range of business sectors, including efficiency programmes in Central Government, Lean thinking in the service sector, Lean manufacturing and productivity in the industrial sector and Lean strategy in the armed forces/defence sector.
