Do you love coffee (or tea)? Do you love networking, sharing lean best practices and solving lean problems together? If yes, we are rolling out a new informal program called Lean Coffee Chats! We will have 60-90 minute sessions in different locations around Michigan.

What are the benefits?

• Leverage our membership knowledge base
  
• Focus on implementation of lean tools
  
• Opportunity to network
  
• Share best practices
  
• Stay connected with other MLC members
  
• ALL FOR FREE for members (+ you can bring a non-member guest for FREE too!)
  

What a typical agenda will look like:

• Meet and greet
  
• Lean implementation topic and brainstorm - bring a topic suggestion or come ready to ask for help with a lean issue you are encountering
  
• Learn about MLC and upcoming events
  
• Networking

Betsy Williams will be facilitating.
