To mark the launching of the Lean Business Excellence Programme, a conference shall be held on the 21 June at the Radisson BLU Hotel in St Julian’s.

Top decision makers, CEO’s, Managing Directors, General Managers and other senior management positions from various business enterprises are invited to attend this event. The participants shall have the opportunity to see for themselves the opportunities for improvement awaiting them by adopting leaner concepts within their operations to deliver quality service/product and focusing on value adding processes.

Participants are invited to this interactive conference to discuss Lean Management Principles, while raising the awareness to adopt a culture based on quality driven services and products in generating value to customers.

This opening conference shall take on the format of a one day interactive event, ending the evening with a social/business networking reception to give the opportunity for all participating delegates to unwind, relax and network together after the event.

The conference opens a series of modular training workshops targeted for different functions within all enterprise types in Malta and the neighbouring countries. These training workshops shall be run between July and November 2011. Details can be found on www.scodanibbio.com/malta2011/.

Dr Carlo Scodanibbio says, “...we took on the challenge to organise this ambitious programme, focusing on Lean Management Principles, after delegates attending last year’s training workshops admittedly declared the great need to promote Lean concepts amongst every enterprise, big or small. Particularly, when our delegates themselves requested the opportunity for top decision makers to be made aware of lean improvement opportunities awaiting them.”

Dr Scodanibbio and Ing Joseph Micallef, facilitators and organisers of this programme of events, are both leading specialists and consultants in lean and quality management principles.
