SUMMARY:The Northeast LEAN Conference
DESCRIPTION:This year the GBMP conference turns its focus on recognizing the re-emergence of Total Employee Involvement (TEI) as the key to unlocking the full benefits of Lean transformation. In the early days of Lean implementation\, company involvement of all employees at all levels was identified as the keystone to Lean. TEI recognized the innate capabilities and desire of employees to always make things better. \nBut\, in the early 90’s\, as Lean tools were popularized\, the focus on broad employee involvement diminished and was replaced by subject matter experts and swat teams. New jobs were created to concentrate the tasks of problem solving and improvement in the hands of just a small segment of employees. But now\, organizations seeking to change their culture are recognizing that this must involve everyone. \nThe Northeast Lean Conference was created by the non-profit GBMP to provide information and inspiration to Lean practitioners – from those just starting out to seasoned Lean leaders from the manufacturing\, healthcare\, service and other vital industry sectors. ​The practical learning format features exceptional keynote and breakout presentations\, interdepartmental panels\, peer-to-peer discussions\, hands-on simulations\, interactive learning and sharing\, and unlimited networking opportunities. Meet more than 500 passionate Lean\, Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement professionals just like you.

University of Texas affirmative action Supreme Court case.
