Pär Forsell
Pär has been working with Toyota Material Handling for almost 15 years and has during this time developed a deep understanding about the Toyota Production System principles, being the origin of lean philosophies. This by working directly together with Toyota Japan in the TPS implementation of Toyota Material handling factories in Europe and thereafter contributing to the continuous TPS development of the same. He is now responsible for the establishment and management of the Toyota Lean Academy (TLA), being the opportunity for customers to learn lean from the source, Toyota. TLA provides the Toyota core knowledge behind successful lean implementation, with the continuously improved evidence found in our own factories and sales network. Pär was educated at Jönköping University, Sweden, studying Industrial Organization & logistics.
