The meeting on 2nd September, 2010 with guest speaker Dr Peter Koumbaris was fantastic. A great presentation on nano particles (5Mb File) and their growing use was followed by a magic meal prepared by the student cooks and presented by the student waitresses and wine stewards at COTAH's training Restaurant. All this was only $25.00. Don't miss out on the next meeting.

However, those that developed simple business models and efficient delivery processes, in the good times, are now reaping the rewards of growth and improved profitability.
Most businesses have entrenched wastes. These tie up resources and provide little to no value to you, or your customers. They eat up your profit and restrict growth. In this session, we will outline the 7 types of waste, brainstorm examples relevant to your business, and show you how to attack them and improve your profit

The pursuit of quality is about achieving excellence in all facets of a particular activity, be it business, culture, sport, health, education or government. It involves firms, organisations and individuals having a clear and coherent vision of their goals and strategies. It also involves strong organisational leadership and positive management attitudes to both workforce and customer alike.
