During March 2010, Enviro-Stewards completed a lean and green opportunity assessment at Carlson Engineered Composites (see case study). The assessment identified lean production and cleaner production opportunities of $310,000 and $370,000 per year, respectively.
Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) and the National Research Council`s Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) subsequently offered a lean to green training workshop for other industries in Winnipeg on March 30, 2010.
