Lean Awareness
Programme Overview & Summary
This awareness course enables delegates to understand the benefits of lean for their organisation; the key lean principles, tools and techniques and how to approach implementation. Lean thinking has become a widely adopted improvement approach that can greatly simplify processes and improve performance in both manufacturing and service organisations.
Style and Approach
Lean recognises that most of an organisation’s processes are at best 40% value adding. Effectively applying Lean principles and tools can significantly improve the percentage of value-added time; reduce process timescales; and reduce waste and the associated costs. At the same time there will be an improvement in customer service and satisfaction levels.
Audience
This course is suitable for all levels of professionals, contract managers, project managers, and individuals involved in simplify processes and improve performance in both manufacturing and service organisations.
Programme Structure
Through a series of workshops, delegates are exposed to a wide variety of situations to enable them to apply and practice their skills in simplify processes and improve performance in both manufacturing and service organisations.
