Many manufacturers have spent years implementing Lean principles, yet hidden inefficiencies within traditional Lean processes can still limit performance and slow continuous improvement efforts.

In this webinar, Dr. Terra Vanzant Stern will explore how manufacturers can rethink long-standing approaches, identify waste within Lean itself, and leverage modern tools and strategies to achieve stronger operational results. Attendees will gain practical insights for building a more effective, sustainable, and future-ready Lean program.

Learning Objectives:

• Embrace Intellectual Humility: Understand why "unlearning" outdated 20th-century habits is the first step toward modern operational excellence.
• Identify "Lean Waste": Learn how to spot the inefficiencies within traditional Lean processes themselves that are slowing down your team.
• Modern Re-Tooling Strategies: Discover new digital and social tools that make Lean concepts easier to implement and sustain in a 2026 manufacturing environment.
• The Experience Shift: Master the mindset of "doing what we've never done" to unlock performance results your facility has never experienced before.

This event is the first in a three-part webinar series leading up to The Assembly Show from October 27-29 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Click here for more details.
