But why is it that so many manufacturers struggle with foundational Lean components? Building a strong Lean foundation requires everyone involved to understand the goals, the plan, and the outcomes. In this webinar, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Michael Parent, shares his experience in working with manufacturers on how to identify gaps in existing Lean programs, and what is needed to build a solid foundation for organization-wide continuous improvement. Operations and Quality leaders will learn: - What foundational Lean pillars are commonly missed and why - How to identify waste in current processes, and steps for improvement - The answer to the “improving downtime means increased operational expense” argument ### Watch this Replay ![michael-parent_cir](https://info.safetychain.com/hs-fs/hubfs/michael-parent_cir.png?width=213&height=222&name=michael-parent_cir.png "michael-parent_cir") **Michael Parent** *Michael Parent Consulting Services* ### About Your Presenter: - Founding Principle of Michael Parent Consulting Services - Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt - Named a 40 under 40 “Rising Star” by The American Society for Quality - Author of The Lean Innovation Cycle: A Multi-Disciplinary Framework for Designing Value with Lean and Human-Centered Design (Routledge, 2022).       Copyright 2022 | SafetyChain Software ![](https://dc.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=309545&fmt=gif)
