NGO Nonprofit Consulting – Lean Certification Training

TBM Provides Lean Certification to a Not-for-Profit NGO and Shortens Lead Times

TBM Consulting worked with the Watershed Organization Trust (WOTR) to ensure that they can increase assistance to villages without incurring any additional expenses. They work in Indian villages to provide the technical knowledge required to shape the land and improve the watershed. WOTR also works to improve water quality which can dramatically reduce childhood mortality rates in villages where many children die from waterborne pathogens.

TBM provided lean certification training to some of the organizational mangers to make operations more efficient. We introduced productivity-enhancing and waste-reduction processes across the WOTR group and its processes. They were able to streamline the processes and enjoy faster project completion without sacrificing the social mobilization benefits.
