Suaju Ltd attends the Lean Government Conference, September 2009

In September 2009 Suaju Ltd, one of the Uk’s leading Lean Management and Outsourcing companies, attended the Lean Government Conference. The event was held at the Central Hall, Westminster and attracted many top industry specialists in the fields such as, Public sector services provision and Lean Management principles as applied to public sector spending.

The event’s main thrust was the reduction in public spending in the next four years following the recent and ongoing national budget deficit increases incurred during the current economic downturn. This reduction in public spending, if handled within a modern Lean Management structure, could be achieved through applying these principles in all areas of local and national government and might help avoid the wholesale cuts to essential services that have been the usual way to handle such deficit requirements.

The keynote speaker was Greg Hands MP, Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury. His address centered on the financial outlook and framework within which the public sector will operate over the coming years. The presence of national companies, such as Suaju and others in the field of Lean Consultancy Outsourcing shows just how prevalent this modern take on the theory of ‘just in time’ business procedure management has become in the last 20 years.

Companies like Suaju can demonstrate that essential services in the public sector do not have to be cut from the funding budget to save money. Suaju, and those like it, can provide real evidence of cost savings from streamlining any business using the approach of Lean Management principles. These savings could safeguard services and jobs for any government body willing to engage fully in the process of Lean principle led streamlining.
