The Continuous Improvement Toolkit

All GBMP courses are customized to your company's specific needs and combine classroom and shop-floor education. A list of our Lean Courses is available here for most of the workshops that comprise our Lean training so that you may get a sense of how the GBMP team can help increase the capabilities of your team. All of our Lean Courses and Lean Training helps you create a self-sustaining system with the full benefits of Lean. After our involvement is completed, your employees will understand Continuous Improvement and carry it forward in their daily work. Courses range from 1/2 a day to 16 days, though the majority are 1 day. GBMP Continuous Improvement Managers train to fit your schedule, including breaking 1-day workshops into two 1/2 days or teaching 2nd and 3rd shift team members, for example. Don't see a course?
