AME | 2 Second Lean Webinar

Don’t forget to join Marc Braun, of Cambridge Engineering (and me), as he shares the Cambridge Journey of 2 Second Lean.

“Do your people fix what bugs them? That’s the simple premise of 2 Second Lean, which leads to employees making small improvements every day. The approach is having a profoundly positive effect on a growing number of manufacturers since the publication of Paul Akers’ book by the same name in 2011. This webinar examines the value of implementing a 2 Second Lean management system through the experience of Cambridge Engineering, a manufacturer of heating and ventilation systems.”

The webinar will take place tomorrow from 1:00-2:00 p.m. EST. Press here for additional information. Would love to have you join us!
