This Lean training program has been designed to provide participants with the core concepts of Lean, the identification of the 8 wastes, the application of 5s and the use of quality improvement tools for any type of process.This type of workshop also equips participants to take the skills they have learned back to their institutions in order to improve efficiency, as well as creating value for both the company and its customers.

DURATION

0.5 Days

CONTENT OVERVIEW

• Lean Concept and Principles
• How to Identify Value
• What is Waste?
• Process Mapping
• Root Cause Analysis
• Measurement
• 5S and Visual Management
• Standard Work
• How to Apply Lean in your Work

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants in the Introduction of Lean Thinking Training are introduced to core Lean tools through a combination of classroom presentation, simulations and group activities.

Our Lean Green Belt Certification program is designed to provide attendants with a comprehensive understanding of Lean and how it is applied across a variety of settings. In addition to an understanding of the theory and effective application of Lean concepts, tools and practices, it helps build essential teams and leadership skills and develops staff to a point where they are competent in leading continuous improvement initiatives independently.

Participants will learn how to identify, frame, and effectively solve quality problems in organizations at the Green Belt skill level. The results can bring increased value to organizations as measured by revenue growth, cost savings and reduction in customer complaints.

DURATION
