Practical Insights for Manufacturers
Lean in Action
Join us for an Advanced Manufacturing event hosted at Copol International, where you’ll see Lean principles applied inside a high-performing manufacturing environment.
The event includes:
- Facility Tour: See Lean practices in action on the shop floor
- Copol’s Lean Journey: Real-world lessons and measurable improvements
- Lean Session with Jeff Ainslie: Practical tools you can apply immediately
During his session, Jeff Ainslie will connect what you observe during the tour to proven Lean methodologies. He will share:
- How to identify and eliminate waste
- Strategies to improve flow and reduce bottlenecks
- Engaging teams in problem-solving and daily improvement
- Moving from isolated improvements to operational alignment
- Practical steps to sustain Lean beyond initial implementation
Jeff’s session is designed to be hands-on and actionable, helping you translate Lean theory into results within your own operation.
Who should attend: Operations leaders, plant managers, supervisors, CI teams, and anyone focused on improving performance and operational excellence.
This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from a Nova Scotia manufacturer and gain practical improvement strategies you can implement immediately. Brought to you in partnership with ACOA.
