Governments and businesses across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East can now access specialist support to improve their efficiency \u2013 and profits \u2013 following the launch of a joint venture between Abdul Latif Jameel and Four Principles, a \u2018Lean Management\u2019 business consultancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new venture offers expertise, advice and implementation services modeled on the Lean Management approach, which has transformed the performance of businesses across Japan, North America and Europe in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lean mindset, which questions every part of an organization\u2019s process in order to eliminate anything that does not add value, was developed by Toyota in the 1930s.  Now organizations across the MENAT region can harness the new firm\u2019s knowledge of the \u2018kaizen\u2019 philosophy to improve their own operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new venture will operate in financial services, government, heavy industry, construction, retail, healthcare, aviation, oil and gas, FMCG, food and beverages, and education.  Services include advising on making improvements to areas such as research and development, manufacturing, procurement, supply chain and logistics, production facility layout, sales and after sales, supplier integration, and digitization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative builds on the longstanding relationship between Abdul Latif Jameel and Japan.  It also follows the recent Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 agreement to have closer ties between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seif Shieshakly, Managing Partner of Four Principles, said: \u201cThere is now a real opportunity to help deliver real, sustainable change in the Middle East.  With a focus on increasing productivity and tackling waste, Four Principles is well positioned to support national agendas through this joint venture with Abdul Latif Jameel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7159,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7155","quickreads","type-quickreads","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNew joint venture to offer Lean Management expertise - Abdul Latif Jameel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New joint venture to offer Lean Management expertise - Abdul Latif Jameel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Governments and businesses across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East can now access specialist support to improve their efficiency \u2013 and profits \u2013 following the launch of a joint venture between Abdul Latif Jameel and Four Principles, a \u2018Lean Management\u2019 business consultancy.
