The CBO team received an insight into the requirements of driving and sustaining
Lean transformation,
Lean principles, and how PDO has applied this across its operation.
PDO Managing Director Raoul Restucci, who is directly steering the
Lean Continuous Improvement change programme said: "It was a pleasure to host the CBO team and to showcase
Lean which is a powerful approach focusing on developing people and creating an environment which encourages daily problem-solving." "By building a culture which embraces problems as opportunities for learning and develops managers into coaches, we are able to build teams that can continually identify and remove non-value adding waste and unnecessary complexity from our core processes," he added.

Patel suggests how companies can integrate
Lean principles into the manufacturing processes or service provision.
But despite success stories like Wiremold's, field reports and other data show that even mature
Lean manufacturers still use SCVA.
By the 1930s, Toyota perfected the
lean manufacturing process by using it to track the flow of the company's product; they fine-tuned and enhanced the flow to eliminateexcess materials waste and capitalize on efficient manpower and machine power.
