Activities are led by our experienced faculty and Toyota executives. Selected guest speakers will present case studies. Benchmarking tours of local operations, including Toyota’s Georgetown, Kentucky facility, will provide opportunities to “go and see” different organizations putting lean principles into action.

• Describe the philosophy, principles, and practices of a lean enterprise
• Explain operating principles of a lean system
• Compare and contrast lean versus traditional leadership practices
