Some participants feedback from WCM November 2022-online edition

While still gathering some feedback from participants of the most recent WCM March 2023 session (the first physical mission in Japan after covid), we are pleased to share with you two testimonials from the online session last November.

“The WCM mission is interesting not only for people who already know a lot about Lean Management or TPS, but also for people who are still learning the fundamentals. The most important thing to remember is that you just have to start, and improve your process step by step from there. You don’t wait years until you have a 100% thought-out process to start doing something, because in practice it will never be 100%. The WCM mission shows this wonderfully through a combination of presentations and practical visits.” 

By Wouter Pattyn, Quality Manager, Foundry Department, Vandewiele NV, Belgium

“At the time when I subscribed for the WCM training, I did not exactly know what to expect from the sessions. After the five days of the training, I was extremely pleased about the way the material was selected and presented. It turned out to be an excellent mixture of the basics and the philosophy behind TPS, combined with many real-life examples and applications, described in detail by the instructors. There is no excuse for not making use of what I have learned over the last five days. Time very well invested.”
