Reviews
Derrick was a very knowledgeable presenter, he engaged the group. The Introduction to Lean was more useful to my daily work than I realised it would be.
- Department of Defence
The Lean methodology/seven wastes was very interesting, as was the Value Stream mapping exercise. The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to our needs/expectations.
I enjoyed Lean Thinking and Kaizen. It showed me how to manage the process more effectively.
An enthusiastic and well credentialed trainer made the presentation enjoyable and informative.

I liked all of it. Lot to take on board in just one day.
The trainer's personal experiences in the companies he worked for was of most interest to me. It was a display of the practical as opposed to the theoretical or conceptual. I prefer to learn that way.
- QM Properties
Facilitator was excellent and really made an effort to understand Aldi processes and culture. Quite useful in discussing aspects of your job that are deemed are waste and just really looking at how much time is wasted on these tasks. I thought it was great to look at needs of the customer into needs, satisfactory and above and beyond.
