MAS South East Specialist, David Kilroy, enrolled the whole team, including Bill Taylor, managing director, onto an open Lean Facilitator Programme that highlighted the tools and techniques required to implement lean and empower individuals to become change agents – ensuring effective, sustainable lean implementation.

David Kilroy said: “The programme has allowed Brighton Sheet Metal to gain a real understanding of the advantages of implementing lean into everyday production processes. MAS South East has given Brighton Sheet Metal the opportunity to explore new directions using the trained skills of internal agents now responsible for continuous improvement.”

The Lean Facilitator programme has successfully allowed Brighton Sheet Metal to implement lean across the whole business, and through continued support from David, the company is now working towards total operational excellence.

Originally set up by the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI), MAS is now a programme of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR).
