Harvard introduces HLEDs
H
arvard Engineering has introduced a new sustainable operations culture called Harvard’s Lean Enterprise Deployment System, or HLEDs.
HLEDs has been developed to drive out all forms of waste to achieve industry best practice, developing and maintaining a highly organised and effective working environment, with repeatability in all manufacturing processes. This will help to meet and exceed customer expectations for quality, cost and delivery. The HLEDs work so far includes developing lean leaders, training and developing team leaders and supervisors in ‘seeing waste’, and developing and creating leader standard work.
