Learn how a car company's design center used Lean knowledge transfer to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its new engineer onboarding program. This case study will present how the company used the principles of learner focus, speed, simplicity and mistake-free performance and, as a result, save over $400K in annual program costs and delivered more competent engineers to projects weeks earlier. Hudson will show you how to identify and eliminate training waste using Lean criteria, create and select the fastest and simplest knowledge transfer methods, work with third-party training vendors and how to quantify the impact and ROI of an improved knowledge transfer approach for onboarding new hires.
