E-Learning program designed to fit smaller manufacturers' needs
Companies can reap the benefits of Continuous Improvement training, without bringing production lines to a halt
By Mary Ann Pacelli, MAGNET Senior Consultant
To meet the needs of these clients, MAGNET took advantage of a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to design a modular, online Lean Tools and Techniques training program that offers smaller manufacturers self-paced modules that will not impact production. During its development, more than 350 employees from 30 Northeast Ohio companies piloted MAGNET's E-Learning program before its official launch in the first quarter of 2010. Read the full article and find out how your company can take advantage of this unique program. |
