Lean Foundations Training

 
Description

With global competition becoming increasingly ferocious, an organization’s success is no longer determined by how much revenue it generates, but by how much waste it drives out from its current operation. Lean organizations from different industries and affiliations (Service, Health Care, Manufacturing, Consumer Services, Telecommunications, Oil & Gas, Utilities, Financials, Technology, and the government) create value for their customers with incredible agility, efficiency, and effectiveness—resulting in drastically improved cycle times, quality, productivity, and profitability.

Objectives

 The Lean Foundations class is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of this powerful and highly practical management strategy. Core Lean concepts, tools, and metrics will be presented with numerous real-life examples and hands-on exercises. Participants will learn how to:

• Drastically reduce cycle time by understanding and applying core Lean tools and concepts
• Promptly identify and eliminate non-value-added activities in the organization
• Drive improvements in the organization using Lean Metrics.

This course is designed for managers, business owners, champions, analysts, engineers, and other professionals seeking to sharpen their business strategy and process improvement skills.
