Yorkshire Productivity Membership

Members' vistsMembership Charter

Membership of Yorkshire Productivity entitles you to a huge range of benefits, conservatively estimated to be worth around £3,000 per year:

Free entry to members events

One of the key benefits of Yorkshire Productivity membership is the opportunity to network with like-minded colleagues and benchmark your lean activities against those being undertaken by other companies.

Our members events are held at different companies premises and include visits to their manufacturing operations and a presentation on the lean activities taking place.

These are usually held at least four times per year with non-members charged £100 per head.

Two days free training

At the start of every Membership year, we provide 2 days free training (worth £550 per day) for senior, middle management and, depending on your circumstances, team leaders.

These sessions can be tailored to suit your requirements and consist of a 2 day Planning and Communication course covering:
  • Lean manufacturing strategy overview
  • How to create a lean culture
  • How to establish the right key performance indicators for you
  • Team working and project planning
  • Developing lean communication systems

Free annual diagnostic

At the start of your relationship with Yorkshire Productivity, the free diagnostic is important in order to establish your current position and determine lean training requirements.

On an annual basis, we will conduct a free diagnostic to benchmark your progress and agree how to move forward.
