WYMS teams up with Fluere to deliver Lean Manufacturing training.
This exciting new collaboration is set to help manufacturing organisations across West Yorkshire to access support to enhance productivity and profitability through operational excellence.
The newly launched courses offer a range of options designed to provide manufacturers with the tools and techniques required to streamline operations, eliminate waste, and maximise efficiency. With Fluere's extensive expertise in process improvement, particularly within the manufacturing sector, this partnership marks a perfect alignment of shared goals and industry knowledge.
Participants in these courses will gain essential skills, techniques, and strategies to optimise their workflow, manage time and resources effectively, and cultivate a positive mindset. Through interactive workshops and practical exercises, delegates will learn personal productivity techniques that align with organisational goals. The programmes are specifically aimed at encouraging continuous improvement, empowering both individuals and teams to maximise their potential and contribute meaningfully to organisational success.
Mark Lewis, CEO of WYMS, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: "WYMS are delighted to be partnering with local business improvement specialists Fluere, who have a proven track record of adding significant value and impact through their approach and experience in applying process improvement techniques. As a charity committed to supporting engineering and manufacturing businesses throughout the region, we are keen to encourage businesses to take advantage of the range of services that we're able to offer”.
This strategic partnership between WYMS and Fluere is more than just a training initiative; it is a shared vision to transform the manufacturing sector by embedding lean principles into everyday operations. The partnership will provide practical, results-driven training that gives businesses the skills needed to thrive in a competitive market.
