Lean Enterprise System Design Institute (LESDI)

The University of Tennessee realizes that Lean is much more than a shop floor tool, it is a management strategy for the entire enterprise or value stream.  The LESDI course brings together all of the functions to implement a Lean strategy: management, marketing, sales, production, scheduling, and procurement are a few.  This course will provide the methodology to learn and begin implementing Lean in your own organization.  You may register for our public course in Knoxville or have a custom course at your facility if you want to train a large group at one time.
