Introduction

Lean thinking begins with driving out waste so that all work adds value and serves the customer’s needs. Identifying value-added and non-value-added steps in every process is the beginning of the journey toward lean operations. In order for lean principles to take root, leaders must first work to create an organizational culture that is receptive to lean thinking. The commitment to lean must start at the very top of the organization, and all staff should be involved in helping to redesign processes to improve flow and reduce waste.

In today’s business environment, where global competition and constant price reduction demands from customers impact heavily on management decisions, Lean Enterprise concepts have helped companies to remain competitive, innovative, and profitable. “Lean” implementation results in enhanced cost and cycle-time reduction, customer satisfaction, and standardized high quality. This two-day course will focus on lean methods that can be used to minimize all forms of waste and maximize value for the customer.

Objectives

At the end of this training session, among others, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the difference between traditional “push” and the lean “pull” systems.
  • Identify typical wastes of lean and how those wastes reduce an organization’s profits, competitive edge, and customer satisfaction.
  • Recognize how lean directly addresses the elimination/reduction of operating costs, cycle time, and non-value-added activities.
  • Make better use of employees’ time and brainpower in a team environment.
  • Developing a plan for starting a lean journey in your organization.

Methodology

  • Interactive lectures
  • Group Discussions
  • Examination of case studies
  • Practical exercises
