becoming an effective extension of lean strategies. Identify and
understand value from the customer’s perspective and the eight common
forms of waste that impede good flow. Learn the basics of 6S visual
management, the application of flow, and how lean impacts an
organization’s current work processes.
Lean Culture & Value Stream Mapping
Benefit
from gaining an understanding of organizational value streams and lean
culture. This session focuses on how value stream mapping sets the
stage for beginning a lean implementation. It also addresses why a lean
transformation requires creating, building and sustaining an
organization-wide improvement environment. The understanding of these
foundational lean tenets will identify opportunities for improvement
and ready your organization for transformation.
Rapid Improvement Event Preparation & Facilitation
Rapid
improvement or kaizen activities which implement change in organization
processes are one of the most important elements in a successful lean
implementation. Explore all the elements of preparing for and running a
lean event. Roles are outlined and data gathering strategies are
explored to help facilitators and team leaders understand the various
roles and requirements.
Standard Work & Visual Management
Standard
work is central to achieving and sustaining a lean environment because
it outlines best practices and assures adherence to those standards. The adaptation of standard work and visual management techniques allows
you to easily see variation in process and opportunities for
improvement. Attend this seminar to learn how to implement and
successfully use these techniques.
Lean Project & Instructor Support
Lean
is a “learn by doing” strategy and learning from others is a key
component. Individually scope and implement a project with instructor
support. Project presentations include information on project
selection, data gathering, event planning or any component of the
seminar material. The seminar includes two hours per participant of
consultation and/or a site visit between “Lean Overview” and “Lean
