This program features a hands-on introduction to the philosophy and methodology of Lean process improvement. Going beyond the introductory phase, participants apply Lean techniques to an actual work process and by the conclusion of the class, teams will have documented the current state process, completed data sheets, built out the future state process, constructed an implementation plan and are selling to the sponsor(s) on the last day. The 4.5-day effort prepares the project team to sell the improvements to project sponsor(s) on the last day.
The class is a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on project work.
