LEAN PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Lean process improvement training is a system of steps that help organisations reduce waste by focusing on customer value. By identifying how customer value flows across every aspect of the organisation, management & teams can then fine-tune and implement processes that create zero waste. This training course will enable teams with the right tools to implement lean principles of process improvement into the very core of their culture, reducing waste and improving product and service value to the customer. Tools covered include 5S, 5W-2H, PDSA, DMAIC, Kaizen, Genchi Genbutsu.

This two-day Lean Process Improvement training course will give your organisation the foundational tools required to implement Lean.

Day one will explore the foundational Toyota precepts of Lean and the five improvement concepts – value, waste, variation, complexity, and continuous improvement.

The second day will focus on the tools for implementing these continual improvement concepts in their organisation. Practical tools will include; Lean data mapping methods, 5S, 5W-2H, PDSA, DMAIC, Kaizen, and Genchi Genbutsu.

This Lean process improvement training course will enable organisations to holistically apply lean thinking across every aspect of their value stream. From the worker to the CEO, constantly reevaluating the value stream across each product and service family will challenge old thinking and create a new culture of lean thinking. Once a product’s or service’s value is identified, unnecessary waste can be removed with continual process improvement.

Lean is not just limited to manufacturing and production but can also be applied to service-oriented industries like healthcare, government, education and agribusiness.
