Longview Economic Development Corp. will present a session highlighting the benefits of lean manufacturing techniques from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 10.

Richard Andrews, a recently retired industry executive, will talk about how to get started, cost, how long it takes to implement and what a factory might look like after implementation of lean principles.

The session will be held in the LEDCO board room, 410 N. Center St. Andrews has more than 10 years experience of implementing lean techniques and of seeing the results.

The program is free but those planning to attend are asked to reserve space by contacting the LEDCO offices at (903) 753-7878 or by e-mail at: kathy@longviewusa.com, no later than Thursday.
