Lean into Industry 4.0 in Preston, Lancashire

Lean into Industry 4.0 is a practical, hands‑on masterclass focused on identifying waste, removing non‑value‑added activity, and improving processes using Lean thinking, proven improvement tools and modern technology.

This session connects the fundamentals of Lean, including the nine wastes and standard improvement tools with Industry 4.0 approaches such as data, digital tools, AI, IoT and automation. Not as theory, but as practical enablers that help make waste visible, measurable and easier to remove. It’s not PowerPoint‑heavy. The day is interactive, discussion‑led and practical, built around real challenges participants bring into the room. Through small‑group breakout sessions and peer learning, you’ll work through real examples, explore where waste exists, and identify realistic ways to tackle it.

Who this session is for

You don’t need to be an Industry 4.0 specialist. This session is about practical application, not technical deep dives.

Why attend

Many organisations are already implementing some Lean practices and many are already investing in digital tools but the two aren’t always connected.
