How to Apply Lean Principles to Your Business in China - Practical Advice for European SMEs (Session 2)

China-Italy Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with

to arrange our first Webinar!

The second session of the EU SME Centre’s Lean Management webinar series will go deeper into China specific questions. For example, behaviour of people differs greatly between state-owned, joint venture, private-owned, and wholly foreign-owned enterprises.

While the application of Lean Principles alone does not guarantee success, it is often a sign of companies which make good decisions. And for those who practice it, no matter what company structure, the ‘secret’ ingredient to make it work is respect for people and continuous improvement. The topics that will be covered in this webinar include:

• Where does Lean implementation face more resistance - Europe or China?
• When applying Lean principles, what are the differences among Chinese State-Owned, Private-Owned, and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises in China?
• Behavior and mindset: Start with the 3Rs

If you attended the first session and have remaining questions, join this webinar to get them answered.
