June 18 PDM - Lean at Boeing Commercial Airplanes and in the Office

crumPresented by Don Crum

 

We are pleased to announce that Don Crum will be presenting Lean Accounting at our upcoming PDM Wednesday, June 18 at the Coast Bellevue Hotel.

 

Lean = A systemic management approach to identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement, that makes all products and services flow at the demand of the customer. Lean empowers people at all levels to engage in continuous improvement on "every" business process they use from order taking to cash collection, and from concept to launch of new products. Lean is about being humble and realizing that we can be better tomorrow than we are today.
