This morning, the Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies (TWIMS) hosted the breakfast seminar: βWhat Is Limiting Us From Achieving the Benefits of the Lean Management System? β An Ubuntu Perspectiveβ featuring Dr Michael BallΓ© and facilitated by Khavitha Singh.
The discussion explored how Lean Management extends beyond systems, tools, and efficiency highlighting the importance of trust, collaboration, leadership, and people-centred thinking in achieving sustainable operational excellence.
A key takeaway from the morning:
βRules are enforced. Standards are adopted.β
Thank you to Dr Michael BallΓ©, our distinguished panelists, and all attendees for an insightful and engaging conversation on the future of Lean leadership.
