An expert talk was organized on ‘Lean Management ’ for the MBA students by Prof Juhi Kamakoty,  under the aegis of Kaizen Club. The resource person for the event was Mr.Nilesh Pendharkar.  An alumnus of SGSITS, Indore  he  spans  a vast eclectic career of around three decades  in industry and consultancy.

Mr. Nilesh  talked about the concept, origin and evolution of Lean. He asserted that Lean is a universal philosophy that may be applied to an individual, family, corporate, manufacturing or services. The resource person discussed the  various Lean practices and procedures adopted  in industry to improve  continuously.  He emphasized the need for Lean to be adopted as a practice in  not only work but also personal life. Lean improves productivity, reduces waste and enhances sustainability.

The students were excited to know about this unsought field and interacted with the resource person to satisfy their inquisitiveness. The expert talk eventually ended opening up new horizons for the students.
