Programme Description

Wastes in the production of goods and services always exist and will grow without intervention. These are elements of products and services actually not valued by customers but yet are built into the production cost.

In a difficult economy, the type that Nigeria is experiencing at present, wants and needs change and SMEs must be attentive to them. The SMEs that manage their internal waste effectively are the ones which will survive.

This course takes participants through the effective processes of identify workplace wastes and how to eliminate the wastes for productivity and enhancement of profit.
