SUMMARY:Mid-West Lean Network Lean Tour at Advanced Technical Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Fully Booked!\nShannon Chamber and Mid-West Lean Network are de
 lighted to announce upcoming Lean Tour which will be hosted at Advanced Te
 chnical Concepts in Shannon.\nWhether you have an interest in finding out 
 more about Lean or want to take your Lean journey to the next level this i
 s the tour for you.\n\nATC Lean Journey\n\n\n\n\nSome years ago we engaged
  on our Lean journey but only had marginal success. In many ways the tools
  were too complicated for a small business such as ours. This all changed 
 when we started embracing morning meetings and 3S (Sort\, Sweep &amp\; Sta
 ndardise) as part of our daily routines. These meetings mean that all our 
 team now have a deeper understanding of non-value add activities and with 
 everyone now involved in finding 3 improvements weekly our workplace has d
 eveloped a problem-solving culture where everyone strives to ‘fix what b
 ugs them’ and/or ‘leave it better than they found it’.\n\nWe are min
 dful that Lean is a journey\, not a destination\, and we are committed to 
 fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Our daily rout
 ines whether they be our morning meetings\, our 3S time\, external benchma
 rking all contribute to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our Conti
 nuous Improvement practices and no doubt our ability to adapt to changing 
 market conditions and customer needs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo drive and track 
 our continuous improvement initiatives\, we leverage visual management too
 ls like our “Improvement Board” and a dedicated WhatsApp channel where
  our team share their improvements in the spirit of ‘Yokoten’ (Japanes
 e for ‘best practice sharing’) so that if one team member sees an impr
 ovement in one area that might apply to their area they can implement and 
 possibly ‘improve on an improvement’. This has helped foster a culture
  of shared learning and problem-solving across the business.\n\nTo sustain
  standards\, we have adopted GembaDocs after failing on many occasions wit
 h different formats and templates of Standard Operating Procedures that we
 re not user-friendly. This online platform allows for multiple users and i
 s a leap into the digital space with Lean.\n\nYou get to see all of this i
 n action on a tour.\n\n\n\n\nWhat the visitors can expect to experience:\n
