Home Welcome to ELSE Inc.

W. Edwards Deming once said: “It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.” And, also: “Does experience help? NO! Not if we are doing the wrong things.”

Our commitment to you is to provide the most flexible and meaningful training experience for your workforce, resulting in tangible results, in order to minimize inefficiencies, reduce lead times, improve quality, increase employee involvement, reduce the total cost, and realign the strategy to the overall vision of your company.

Experiential Learning Systems for Enterprise and Education (in short ELSE Inc.) bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. We do this by bringing people together to learn valuable lessons and then experience powerful hands-on simulations and exercises created for experiential learning of specific applications.

To learn more about Lean, please go to Implement-Lean-Manufacturing.com, our division that offers a learning environment for the seeker of Lean knowledge.

The lean implementation approach we recommend, backed up by our solid training materials and resources, involves the following steps:

Assess the state of the company on the Continuous Improvement journey, whether you are just starting this Transformation, or are a more seasoned traveler.
Perform training sessions where your key employees will analyze the business model and perform a gap analysis.
Based on the needs of your company, decide on the training required to bridge the gap between current state and the desired future state.
Perform the training sessions and simulations according to your immediate needs.
Support your employees in performing workshops in pilot areas that will provide hands-on exposure to what they learn.
Based on the initial results and success, the implementation will expand to the whole company

This strategy is based on both the Kaizen methodology and on the Training Within Industry techniques and is an integral part of the Lean philosophy.

“I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I know” – We believe in this statement as we realize that, in order to learn, people need to become involved in the learning process in a pragmatic way.

Our present economy makes it imperative to start today; tomorrow may be too late.

We can help you reduce dramatically the cost of re-training your employees.

But, as Deming also said: “It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”
