SUMMARY:Mid-West Lean Network Workshop: Problem Solving with Element Six
DESCRIPTION:Mid-West Lean Network Workshop: Problem Solving with Element Six (Limited to 30 Places)\nMid-West Lean Network workshops are structured to explore how ‘Lean’ is enabling member companies to drive efficiency\, productivity\, and continuous improvement in their organisations.\nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from an industry leaders and network with fellow Lean professionals.\nPractical Problem Solving is a cornerstone of any successful Lean journey. It equips teams with a structured\, data-driven approach to clearly define problems\, identify true root causes\, and implement sustainable countermeasures. Rather than addressing symptoms\, this methodology drives lasting solutions and builds internal capability across the organisation. \nOrganisations that embed Practical Problem Solving into their daily operations consistently report measurable benefits\, including the elimination of recurring issues\, reduced costs\, improved quality and performance\, and a more engaged and empowered workforce. Over time\, this approach becomes a key driver in sustaining improvements\, reinforcing accountability\, and standardising effective countermeasures across the business. \nPractical Problem Solving is a core technique used daily within Element Six as part of their continuous improvement culture. In this interactive workshop\, presenters from Element Six will: \n\nShare the evolution of Practical Problem Solving within their plant and how it has matured over time\nOutline the tangible business benefits achieved\, including lessons learned — what has worked well and what challenges they encountered\nDemonstrate Practical Problem Solving in action on the shop floor\, providing real-world examples of how tools and techniques are applied in practice\n\nThis session will offer valuable insights for organisations at any stage of their Lean journey\, whether you are building foundational problem-solving capability or looking to strengthen and sustain existing improvement initiatives \n  \nAbout Element Six \nElement Six is a synthetic diamond supermaterials company. Element Six is a member of the De Beers Group of Companies\, its majority shareholder. Element Six is a global leader in the design\, development and production of synthetic diamond supermaterials\, and operates worldwide with its head office registered in Luxembourg\, and primary manufacturing facilities in China\, Germany\, Ireland\, South Africa\, US and the UK. \nRegistration from 8.45 am; workshop commences at 9.00 am sharp \nPlease book online to secure your place.
