The EEF has launched a new video to help staff and managers ‘sell’ the concept of Lean to their senior management team. EEF consultancy director Martin Strutt said: “Despite being around in many different guises since the days of Henry Ford, Lean is still the de facto approach for manufacturers to uncover and implement opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency. This is because it works.

“Lean transforms business through a process of continuous improvement. It is already playing a critical role in boosting efficiency and sustainable growth in our sector, and this will only increase as companies gear up for Industry 4.0. It’s important that we help and encourage UK manufacturers to explore these techniques so they can stay ahead of the curve.

“As with any continuous-improvement programme, Lean works best when senior management is on board. This video is about providing the right tools and ammunition to secure their buy-in and ensure that Lean is fully embraced and embedded in the company culture.”
