good flow. Learn the basics of 6S visual management, the application of
flow, and how lean impacts an organization’s current work processes. We
will show you how to increase your competitiveness by implementing a

builds internal resources.
- 4-Hour Option
– Delivered in one four-hour session. Instructors will introduce
participants to basic lean concepts and assign a waste observation task.
- 8-Hour Option
– Delivered in two, four-hour sessions. In addition to the basic
concepts introduced in session one, instructors will facilitate a class
discussion about the waste observation task in detail during the second
session and invite participants to explore in-depth how lean processes
minimize waste.
- 12-Hour Option
– Delivered in three, four-hour sessions. In addition to the concepts
introduced in the first two sessions, the third session will address
soft skills such as listening, communication and teamwork. Participants
carry the previous lessons through to an application project. They
apply knowledge by documenting a process and creating standard work
instructions including process steps, sequence, and timing, or complete a
miniature workplace organization project. Participants discuss the
projects in detail and present their results during the final session.
Lean organizations measure true success by cultural
integration and project implementation. Hands-on application and
additional instructor support are key benefits offered in the
multi-session course options.
