Lean Case Study: Lighthouse for the Blind

The true pow­er of con­tin­u­ous improve­ment lies in its abil­i­ty to help peo­ple reach their full poten­tial. In this course, we vis­it The Light­house for the Blind, an extra­or­di­nary orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties for indi­vid­u­als who are blind, deaf, Deaf­Blind, and/​or have oth­er dis­abil­i­ties. With pres­ti­gious clients like Boe­ing, NASA, and the Unit­ed States gov­ern­ment, The Light­house for the Blind uses con­tin­u­ous improve­ment both in a tra­di­tion­al man­u­fac­tur­ing con­text and also as a way to meet the unique needs and abil­i­ties of each indi­vid­ual employee.
