The Lean Manufacturing Skills Bootcamp starting on Monday June 5 for 10 weeks has been developed by Lakes College as a standalone programme that provides a ‘taster’ for new entrants in the Business Improvement arena.
It covers the full scope of initiating, planning and conducting a business improvement activity in an organisation and provides the candidates with insights into the range of tools that can be used to improve business operations. It adopts a blended approach to learning; combining face to face
practical sessions with online tutorials and coaching sessions that further underpin the theory and practice they
have acquired.
Workshops Information
There are seven full day workshops planned which will explore the key concepts of Quality improvement, tools and
techniques that are typically used and their application in business.
These workshops will be predominantly practical in application where candidates get an opportunity to put
these concepts into practice.
They will include a mixture of tutor input, group discussions and both individual and group activities to reinforce the concepts learned and underpinning personal and team development which is key to developing improvement cultures in organisations.
Exercises will be designed to suit a range of ability and experience and will offer candidates the opportunity
to ‘stretch’ themselves in terms of their learning based on their starting points and also the learner’s ability to
cope with challenge. Feedback will be provided to candidates so they can apply this to future sessions. tutor

improvement project.
