Workshop is led by Neil Trivedi

Neil is a respected Lean Specialist and Change Agent withing the Automotive, Aerospace, Food, FMCG, Transportation, Biomedical and Public Sectors. He has spoken at many lean conferences including the respected LEI conference.

Neils early career in operational management progressed through team leader and project roles to site management. This led to an international lean improvement role with Mars and GKN. His work with GKN in Brazil provided the opportunity to extend the boundaries of lean to encompass the environmental agenda featured in his recent book on Lean and Green Manufacturing.

The practical nature of the resulting Lean Green approach bears witness to his grounding in operational reality as well as his understanding of how to align shop action with strategic business drivers. An approach which gains considerably from the experience of implementation in the highly volatile Brazilian business climate.
