Lean Forum

The symbiotic interconnectivity between Asset Management & Reliability Principles, and Lean Principles

Training Leadership Consulting (TLC), the co-ordinators of the PMCB Lean Forum, have invited a special guest speaker to focus on the synergies between Lean and the fascinating field of equipment reliability. If your business is in manufacturing/production, maintenance, or engineering generally, don’t miss this session!

Presenter:  Johan Jansen van Rensburg
CRL, CMM, Pr. Cert. Eng., GCC.

Often organisations look at Lean and Maintenance as two separate activities. However, they should be seen as two sides of the same coin, as is the case with safety and reliability of equipment.
The symbiotic interconnectedness of any system cannot “live” in isolation of another. Join Johan to learn more about how organisations can leverage the synergies of both.
