Breakfast Event: LEAN Thinking at NAB
LEAN Thinking: How NAB cut costs and improved productivity
By looking at what creates value for customers and removing steps in their business processes that didn’t contribute to that value, NAB has made significant process improvements.
Guests heard how even small changes to the way information is managed can result in innovation, sustainability and reduced cost, and how they can apply these principles in their own organisations.
The discussion covered:
- LEAN principles and how they help to add customer value by reducing wasted time and resources
- NAB’s practical approach to introducing LEAN principles and the positive effects it has had on the business so far
- Steps you can take to apply LEAN principles in your organisation
