Dairy Lean Management

Lean management can be put into practice on dairy farms to improve net margins. A lean-qualified (ILM) consultant will coach on how to put management structures in place, but often a cultural change will have to occur within the farm team to allow the style of management to work.

This Farming Note provides:

• An outline of lean principles
• The pros and cons of adopting lean management
• A case study where lean was implemented with Kingshay’s consultancy on a dairy farm
• Guidance as to whether lean would be suited to your business
