Reduction Steve Eisenhart practices as an expert witness for many courtrooms across the United States, identifying root cause responsibility for industrial accidents and catastrophes. Most quality problems, accidents and mistakes of omission occur in the workplace due to human error. This workshop presents a detailed process for identifying root causes of problems and how to evaluate the supervision of the workplace. This workshop supports continuous improvement in the workplace and on the shop floor and presents a thorough understanding of root cause problem‐solving techniques.

New Tools Michael Harding teaches the only public lean purchasing workshop in the United States. A true lean environment requires a new way of negotiating, new quality and delivery standards and an entirely new way of engaging with the supplier. Laws and regulations must always be complied with, but the relationships, material flow and response time from suppliers must be changed to coincide with the lean environment of the enterprise – even if the material is shipped from abroad. Harding has a degree in law, an MBA in purchasing and is the author of three books on purchasing and supplier service. He has been a purchasing and acquisition executive for twenty‐five years for major corporations and a global consultant for fifteen years.
