We have used KanDo with experienced lean practitioners and with total novices. It has won many converts to lean and particularly pull systems with one piece flow. The materials and tutor guides are excellent, allowing facilitators to quickly grasp the design of the exercise.

Chris McKellen - Manufacturing Awareness
The most successful programme we have achieved with the Kando lean package is the implementation of lean manufacturing within our Polish plant where lean manufacturing is not widely used. Kando Lean has definitely helped us to change the culture and way of thinking with regard to manufacturing and has allowed us to implement Lean smoothly and most importantly has gave us employee 'buy in'
