About the Workshop
This one-day LeanFarm Workshop is designed specifically for dairy and other farmers, combining the practical knowledge of farmers with the proven systems of Lean thinking. You’ll walk away with simple, effective tools you can apply straight away to make your farm more efficient, productive and profitable.
What is Lean?
Originating from Toyota NZ in the 1940s, Lean is a practical approach to continuous improvement. It helps eliminate waste, streamline processes, and focus your efforts on what truly adds value. The result? Smarter work, better results, and more time for what matters.
You’ll gain a strong, hands-on understanding of Lean tools and how to implement them on your farm to drive measurable improvements.
