Our participants review
For me, it was the first course conducted 100% online, but the way it was structured and approached did not affect the quality of the course.
Congratulations to the entire Alfra team! Good job!
Thank you, in my personal name, first of all! It was very interesting for me. I admit that I am fascinated by the LEAN system and I have a curiosity and a desire to deepen my knowledge in the field.
And, implicitly, on behalf of the company. It is a very useful source of information for my colleagues.
I think that this course made an important contribution through trainers, content, and structure, also the practical examples completed the theoretical part and inspired me in what I want to implement in the company as a philosophy and good practices. The way that the scientific part was explained helped me and then the practical part through skills up to the level of attention to behaviors also. The live sessions, especially in which Mr. Cristea was invited, reinforced the message that the implementation of lean management is possible.
