Consort Precision Diamond To Participate In The LEAN Programme
Consort Precision Diamond, a leading manufacturer of precision diamond tools, is thrilled to announce its participation in the LEAN Programme! The LEAN Programme is an initiative that aims to help businesses in Wales achieve sustainable improvements in competitiveness.
It is specifically designed for businesses that want to learn more about the principles of lean management, and is an intensive five-day programme that provides its attendees with a solid working foundation of both management principles and techniques.
During the programme, participants learn how to:
Identify and eliminate waste
Improve processes
Increase efficiency
And engage and empower employees to be more active participants in their roles
All the subjects offered above are possible due to the collaboration between the Welsh Government and the Toyota Lean Management Centre in Deeside. The principles are taught through a mixture of:
Classroom theory
Immersive shop floor observation
Examples of practical application - all delivered at Toyota’s Deeside engine facility
And worksite coaching at participant company sites to support productivity improvements
"We’re really excited to be participating in this programme, and to have that opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry," says Justin Hughes, one of the two employees from Consort who will be attending the programme. "This is a great opportunity for us to improve our productivity and competitiveness, and we are looking forward to applying what we learn to our work at Consort.”
Gareth Clifton, the other employee attending the programme, agrees. "We are very grateful for the chance to participate in this programme," he says. "This is definitely something that will not only help us improve our general skills and knowledge, but also contribute to the growth and success of Consort as a company, and that’s something we are always striving for. Can’t wait to hit the ground running when we come back from this experience."
At the end of the programme, participants will have a clear understanding of how to apply these principles to their own businesses. They will be able to implement sustainable improvements in the company’s productivity and competitiveness.
In addition, they will have the opportunity to network with other participants during the 5-day event and learn from their experiences, as well as receive ongoing support from the Toyota Lean Management Centre to help them continue to improve their business.
Consort has signed up to take part in the next available LEAN Start Programme, which is scheduled to begin in May 2023.
As a subsidiary of CDT, Consort is committed to delivering the same high-quality products and services to its customers as CDT. The LEAN Programme is an important step towards achieving that ongoing expectation for growth, and we wish Justin Hughes and Gareth Clifton the best of luck at this programme!
Consort is looking forward to applying the principles and techniques learned from the programme to drive continuous improvement within the company. In doing so, it will continue to put Consort and CDT on the map as the highest-quality, highest-performing company for our customers to continue receiving exceptional results when they choose us for their project needs.
We cannot wait to continue serving you to the highest possible degree!
