"Using ABM for Continuous Improvement" Workshop

This workshop is based on the very popular ICMS book Using ABM for Continuous Improvement.

Workshop Objective
This workshop will teach your managers and employees "how to" use their ABM reports for continuous improvement and cost reduction.

Who Should Attend?
Every department manager, supervisor and employee who needs to improve the performance of their activities. ICMS will also "train your trainer".
