Purpose of WVLN
WVLN is a state-wide, member-driven group, focused on applying Lean principles and continuous improvement methods to eliminate waste in business processes so member organizations can gain a competitive edge. WVLN helps train, connect and encourage members on their lean journeys through exchanging knowledge and experience.
What WVLN Does
WVLN helps organizations transform their modes of operation through process-based innovation and end-to-end business process improvement. WVLN members also capitalize on Lean-related learning opportunities, field trips, benchmarking visits, and access to new resources. WVLN also helps members improve quality management systems and comply with International Quality Systems Standards.
How WVLN Operates
WVLN provides these benefits by arranging for members to gather once each month to learn from each other. Each WVLN membership meeting is planned to cover 3-hours so a particular Lean topic can be discussed in depth, and application case studies from various industries can be presented. Meetings also provide valuable time for members to network with presenters and other Lean practitioners. The WVLN Steering Committee plans the monthly programs and arranges other WVLN events.
Who Participates in WVLN
Although Lean concepts were developed to improve the performance of manufacturing operations, Lean tools have been adapted to improve the performance of non-manufacturing and office operations. WVLN members represent various industries: manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, financial services, software development, educational institutions, retail, hospitality, etc.
Monthly Membership Meetings
Most WVLN meetings are held on 1st Wednesday of the month at 10AM EST. Event information is shared on Eventbrite and by email. Events are online and/or live-streamed. You can be part of the event no matter where you are located.
How to Join WVLN
Annual Membership Fees are only $500 for a company membership, or $250 for an individual. An unlimited number of persons can attend WVLN monthly events per company membership.
