To help businesses develop their Lean strategy, Enterprise Ireland have launched a Lean Business Initiative. There are 3 levels of funding available; Lean Start, Lean Plus and Lean Transform.

Lean Plus provides funding for companies looking to build on their Lean program by undertaking a Lean project over a medium term period. This will result in sustained use of Lean techniques and related methodologies by the company, and will achieve significant measurable gains in company capabilities and cost competitiveness.

The Lean Plus assignment should;

• Deliver significant productivity improvement and cost reductions.

• Embed a culture of business improvement and lean techniques to a cohort of trained staff.

• Introduce a programme to pursue company-wide improvement.

• Lay a foundation for future Lean or productivity improvement projects.

• Assignments will vary in size and scope but will typically be completed within six months.

LeanPlus is open to all Enterprise Ireland clients.

• Companies will be eligible to receive support of up to 50% of eligible costs to a maximum of €37,500 where the total project cost will not exceed €75K
