The first year of the Washington Lean Consortium came to a successful conclusion, with members reporting significant savings in costs and more efficient production.

Pacific Northwest Lean consortiums show what growers can achieve when they work together to solve problems and improve labor efficiencies.

The group of growers has committed to learning and applying the principles of Lean, a method for eliminating waste that results in more value to customers delivered at a lower cost, in a shorter time, with fewer defects and less human effort.

The Oregon Nursery Lean Consortium recently helped two Pacific Northwest growers realize significant productivity gains and labor savings.

The new structure is the latest step in a lean flow efficiency process designed to help the company cut waste, drive down shrink, and increase profits.

The webinar is the first in a series that will cover how Lean Flow affects your marketing, your customers, and your product offerings.

The Oregon Nursery Lean Consortium, which helps the horticulture industry learn and apply Lean principles, is inviting greenhouse and nursery growers — and their suppliers — to join its 2017 program.
