Lean Foundations Course Description

Over the past few years, bodyshops have been exposed to various Lean principles through reading or attending courses. Often short term gains or improvements are made, but process improvement either stalls or regresses.

If the improvements came from within, would you have a better chance of making an improvement or having be sustained?
