Presentation: The Journey of Lean In A Traditional Business Given By Chief Financial Officer, Duane Prentice, of Hatco Inc.

  • lower costs
  • streamline processes
  • implement organizational cultures that increase productivity and quality of the products

The following topics will be presented at the March Learn @ Lunch:
