Lean applies to any type of organization and processing environment.

Revamp and re-energize your Lean strategy by networking with and learning from others who are committed to creating a Lean culture.

Program Features!
- Member Locations – Participation will not be restricted to any particular region within Maryland, nor is participation exclusive to Maryland organizations. The video conference format enables participation of organizations regardless of location.
- Number of Members – Since room capacity limitations are not a concern with videoconferencing, the maximum number of participating organizations is twelve. Number of participants per company is not restricted (within reason).
- Number of Meetings – There are 12 meetings, and MWCC Quarterly Conferences and Lean Learnings are no-cost to members.
- “Members Only” – Each Group has their own area on the MWCC website. This member area will have a location for materials such as meeting presentation slides.
