SUMMARY:Lean Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Member Price – £850.00 + VAT\nNon-Member Price – £920.00 + VAT \nDuration – 2 Days \n  \nCourse Objectives \n\n Build a shared understanding of lean principles across the team\nIntroduce practical methods to identify and reduce waste\nProvide tools to improve process flow\, standardisation\, and visual management\nStrengthen the teams problem-solving and continuous improvement capability\nSupport leaders in sustaining change within day to day operations\n\n  \nCourse Content \n  \nIntroduction to Lean Principles and Manufacturing Terminology\nIntroduction to the origins and purposes of lean manufacturing\, including key principles such as value\, flow\, pull\, and continuous improvement. Common lean terms are explained using manufacturing-specific language and examples to ensure a consistent understanding across the team. \n  \nUnderstanding Value-Adding vs Non-Value-Adding Activity\nExploration of what constitutes value from a customer and manufacturing perspective. Participants learn how to distinguish between value-adding\, non-value-adding\, and necessary but non-value-adding activities within machining\, fabrication\, assembly\, inspection\, and material handling processes. \n  \nThe 8 Wastes in a Manufacturing Environment\nDetails review of the 8 Wastes (Defects\, Overproduction\, Waiting\, Non-utilised Talent\, Transportation\, Inventory\, Motion\, and Over-processing)\, with practical examples of how these wastes typically appear on the shop floor\, in production planning\, and across materials and information flow at Serrations. # \n  \nProcess Flow\, Standardisation\, and Visual Management\nIntroduction to the principles of process flow and why poor flow drives inefficiency\, delays\, and excess work-in-progress. Overview of standardisation work and visual management techniques commonly used in manufacturing to improve consistency\, highlight problems quickly\, and support safer \, more controlled operations. \n  \nApplied Lean Exercises sing Real Manufacturing Examples\nPractical exercises based on real processes\, products\, or scenarios from within the business. Participants work through examples to identify waste\, map simple process flows\, and consider practical improvements that can be applied directly back in the workplace. \n  \nCurrent Manufacturing Challenges and Improvement Opportunities\nFacilitated discussion focused on current operational challenges such as bottlenecks\, rework\, planning issues\, material flow\, or communication gaps. The session encourages shared learning and begins to identify priority improvement opportunities aligned to lean principles. \n  \nApplying Lean Tools\nPractical focus on applying lean thinking to real environments. Participants explore how lean tools support better control of quality\, delivery\, safety\, and cost in day-to-day operations. \n  \nIdentifying Waste\, Bottlenecks\, and Flow Constraints\nPractical identification of waste and inefficiencies within material\, product\, and information flow. Participants will learn hot to recognise common constraints such as batching\, poor layout\, unbalanced workloads\, excessive handling\, and unclear priorities that restrict flow and drive delays. \n  \nHands-on Lean Simulations: Plug Assembly Line\nA practical\, interactive assembly simulation used to demonstrate lean principles in action. Participants complete an initial assembly round to establish baseline performance\, highlighting issues such as overproduction\, waiting\, defects\, poor layout\, and lack of standard work. \nLean concepts are then introduced and applied and applied\, including improved flow\, simple standardisation\, visual controls\, and workload balance followed by repeat assembly rounds to clearly demonstrate measurable improvements in productivity\, quality and flow. \nThe exercise make improvements visible and reinforces how small\, practical changes can deliver significant operational benefits. \n  \nIntroduction to Practical Problem-Solving Techniques \nIntroduction to simple\, structured problem solving approaches suitable for manufacturing environments. Participants learn hot to define problems clearly\, identify root causes\, and agree practical countermeasures that can be implemented quickly on the shop floor. \n  \nVisual Management and Standard Work in Practice\nHands-on exploration of visual management and standardised work\, focusing on how these tools support consistency\, faster decision-making\, and early problem identification. Discussion centres on practical examples relevant to Serrations’ operations rather than theoretical models. \n  \nLeadership Discussion – Embedding and Sustaining Lean Improvements \nFacilitated  discussion with supervisors and team leaders on how to lean behaviours are sustained beyond initial improvements. Focus on daily routines\, team communication\, visual controls\, and leadership behaviours that reinforce continuous improvement as part of normal operations. \n

SUMMARY:Why are Difficult Conversations Difficult? Lunch n Learn: free neuroscience-informed session for curious professionals.
DESCRIPTION:This session explores why difficult conversations feel so challenging\, even for experienced leaders. Drawing on neuroscience\, we examine what’s happening when two nervous systems collide and how feedback and challenge can trigger threat responses linked to status\, identity\, and social belonging\, often narrowing thinking and increasing defensiveness.
