Lean Training through Iowa Community Colleges

The Waterloo Cedar-Falls Courier Online!

Here's a nice example of some community lean training. The wider we can spread these ideas, the stronger our local business communities and economies will be. It's not just the John Deeres of the world who can benefit from lean. Rather than government subsidies and tax incentives, it would be nice to see our local and state governments sponsor training that can help make companies of all sizes more efficient — which is better for their long run success than being propped up without being given tools to get better.
