Government-subsidised lean manufacturing assistance

The Improve Group is a preferred provider to the Australian and New Zealand governments to assist industry implement productivity improvement programs using lean methodologies. These programs can attract a 50% subsidy through the Enterprise Connect (Australia) and NZTE Lean Business Program (New Zealand).

Rapid improvement events for the food and beverage industry

Accelerate your improvement program with our action-based rapid improvement events. These include a mixture of ‘train and do’, normally run during a two to four hour session followed by rapid application of the learning. Carried out over a two to five day period, these workplace events are used to make a radical change in a short time. The changes are so dramatic it is hard to go back to the old way of doing things.

Used as a key tool in any lean implementation and often referred to as a ‘Kaizen’ activity, teams challenge existing methods and devise newer, faster, higher quality and more value-adding ways of doing things.
