What people are saying about this course:

"Facilitator was excellent and really made an effort to understand Aldi processes and culture. Quite useful in discussingaspects of your job that are deemed to be waste and just really looking at how much time is wasted on these tasks. I thought it was great to look at needs of the customer into needs, satisfactory and above and beyond"

"I really enjoyed the course and the tools for streamlining that were offered. They will really help me breaking down the processes involved prior to writing/updating procedures."

"I really enjoyed this course. I preferred the first half of the course, rather than the second. I got really excited when we started to touch on the statistics. I was really looking forward to doing more statistics. The second half of the training wasn't new to me as it was very similar to the investigations training that I have done many times before. I know I probably need to do the training for one of the higher 'belts'. So this is not a criticism of the course, but an admission that I need to do more training. The trainer, Ross, was brilliant. I would definitely attend his training sessions again."

"Learning was facilitated by using examples from our work situation and it was easy to understand how useful the tools would be in future problem solving."

"Brian was very knowledgeable facilitator. He was able to convey the theory and then apply to real work examples across multiple industries. Overall very good. Only issue related to insufficient time. Possibly make this a 2 day training."

"I enjoyed Lean Thinking and Kaizen. It showed me how to manage the process more effectively."

"The Lean methodology/seven wastes was very interesting, as was the Value Stream mapping exercise. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs/expectations."
