Best practice visits to leading manufacturing plants
Best practice visits in manufacturing
Get expertise from industry leaders on our best practice visits to leading manufacturing plants.
You’ll visit incredible companies and connect with the best in the sector – talking to and learning from inspiring leaders. Sharing knowledge and exploring Lean Continuous Improvement manufacturing and Organisational Excellence lessons, ideas, and practices is a key part of what we do. We genuinely care about the people, processes, and organisations in manufacturing.
On best practice visits, you’ll get first-hand experience of how to apply the principles of organisational excellence and meet the people responsible for making it happen at every level. And you’ll be able to discuss the insights, successes, and opportunities they’ve encountered throughout their journey.
