Cluster companies in Ventspils will take part in the three workshops “LEAN and TOC Thinking in the Company”, which includes interactive lessons, exchange of experience and opinion among participants followed by examples of good practice, group work, case studies and search of effective solutions within a working factory.
On May 22, 2018, the first of the three LEAN workshops took place. The production premises of Ltd ARBO Windows were chosen as the appropriate, in which several practical examples were made.
