Driving change, productivity and a lean mindset requires a strong culture, engaged staff and a focus on raising quality throughout all processes.Especially if margins are to be improved and waste reduced. These core principles are central to Toyota and its manufacturing of cars. And it’s what members of the ICE’s Community Advisory Boards (CABs) explored during a recent visit to Toyota’s Lean Management Centre (LMC), in Deeside, North Wales. The visit was designed to draw out ideas, lessons and
