On-site Lean Training is a confidential, cost-effective
way to train a group your employees in the principles of a lean
enterprise. Our instructors have worked with many different types
of organizations and have experience in your area. We will work
with you to outline a course of training that best meets your
requirements or we can customize training for your specific needs.
Lean Training Courses include:
Improve your competitiveness and service to customers by tackling
a major contributor to failure costs in many organizations,
in spite of continuing attempts to bring it under control. Demonstrate
your commitment to operational excellence by managing a major
challenge to world-class performance: human error.
Increase your understanding of how to identify root causes
of human error and gain insight into ways of avoiding them.
Learn how to gage your organization’s vulnerability to
error and the effectiveness of current practices to deal with
it. Find out how to systematically identify commonplace adverse
influences that increase risk of error and/or make its effects
more serious. Understand how low-cost changes and fine-tuning
can improve reliability.
Make value flow faster—produce and deliver the highest
quality products and services at the lowest possible cost. This
is the goal of Lean.
Learn two fundamental Lean concepts that will help your organization
move towards this goal—value stream mapping and Lean targeted
(kaizen) events. Identify and eliminate waste and its drivers
in your organization by learning how to develop and analyze
value stream maps. Recognize opportunities to run Lean targeted
(kaizen) events using the DMAIC framework.
A kaizen event, or kaizen blitz, is a focused, short-term project
used to improve any process. The event draws together a team
of people for a short, sustained period to solve a specific
problem. Learn how a kaizen event can be used to improve processes
in your organization. This course covers the fundamentals of
leading a kaizen event, including what is required to plan and
run the event. Learn how to apply systematic kaizen methodology
and follow up after the event.
The goal of a Lean enterprise is to develop the highest quality
product/service at the lowest possible cost. Understand what
you need to create a lean enterprise in your organization. Based
on standardized management deployment systems and starting with
the lean model, work through kaizen (elimination of waste through
continuous improvement), standardized work, autonomation (jidohka),
just-in-time methodologies, heijunka (production leveling and
control), and Poka Yoke (error proofing). Eliminate waste in
your processes by implementing lean in your organization. This
set of approaches, methods, and tools is based on the world's
most efficient manufacturing technology—the Toyota Production
System. It can help any organization improve including service,
government, and nonprofit organizations.
As organizations look to increase market share and reduce
costs, employees must prove that they can bring added value
to their company in today’s competitive environment. Make
sure you are well positioned to help your organization meet
its business and financial goals. Upon successful completion
of this program, you will have the tools you need to achieve
your lean certification goals.
To achieve lean certification, you must: meet course attendance
requirements, pass the certification exam, and successfully
complete a lean improvement project or kaizen event. Your project/event
must show evidence of implementation of the lean solutions and
improved (leaner) performance.
Deploying Lean successfully is a strategic decision led by
the executives of the organization. The executive team not only
sets the direction for the overall Lean deployment, but puts
the structure in place to foster cultural change.
Lean efforts will succeed only if your organization’s
leaders believe it is in the company’s and their best
interests to make sure it succeeds.
Champions are leaders selected to translate the strategic direction
and high-level Lean deployment plan into action.
Teams implementing Lean need more than just the technical
skills to succeed. Team and facilitation skills will be a critical
component of any Lean deployment.
Lean is a specialized discipline. While the basics are relatively
easy to pick up and use, people will benefit by having access
to experts. Lean coaches are internal experts who can help with
training, facilitation, and coordination. Coaches can help ensure
Lean projects are aligned to corporate goals and that the Lean
approaches are used in a standard manner. This group of internal
experts can be small, but is a key element in helping to sustain
focus and priorities.
The Lean Coaches curriculum builds the internal expertise necessary
to conduct Lean workshops and successfully coach staff.
In some organizations, standardization through certification
is an important element in Lean deployment.
Internal experts, or Lean Coaches, can be certified by completing
the Lean Coaches curriculum, passing an exam, and successfully
completing a project requirement.
Successful Lean deployments engage staff at different levels
in different ways. Many staff members need a working knowledge
of Lean and just enough detail to begin implementation in limited
ways under the guidance of a Lean expert.
The Lean Overview equips individuals with a hands-on experience
of implementing Lean and enough information to begin applying
select Lean approaches in everyday work.
