FAQS

Q1.Who can be a member?

Answer:

We welcome members from all economic sectors including manufacturing, service, government, and health care, who possess:

  • A vision for Lean in their organization
  • A commitment and strategy for its implementation
  • And successful experiences to share within the Consortium

Q2.How much does it cost to participate?

Answer:

Member organizations represent a single establishment, plant or facility operating with a defined physical address; and, pay an annual fee based upon the total number of employees at their site.

Small organization (<50 employees) pay $1500 per year

Medium organization (51-250 employees) $2500 per year

Large organization (>250 employees) $4000 per year

Organizations wishing to have more than one site represented in the Consortium will be presented a customized annual proposal.

The Fee structure is reviewed and established on an annual basis.

Q3.How do you avoid confidentiality issues?

Answer:

We seek to limit concerns by never placing competitive organizations in the same Regional Group. Also the host firm for any meeting has the right to limit attendance if confidentiality concerns exist. Georgia Tech will be involved in these decisions. Ultimately it is the responsibility of each member to control their proprietary information by not presenting nor discussing matters that they consider confidential.
