I deliver practical, hands-on Lean training and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) programmes that help New Zealand businesses improve efficiency, eliminate waste, and sustain results. With over 30 years’ experience, I design training that works for your people, your processes, and your industry.
What I Offer

Value Stream Mapping
Map your end-to-end processes to pinpoint bottlenecks and highlight improvement opportunities. Develop practical action plans with your team.

Problem Solving & Root Cause Analysis
Equip your teams with proven tools like the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagrams, and A3 Problem Solving to tackle issues at their source and prevent recurrence.
Lean Leadership & Culture
