Description
Lean is an approach to organizational processes that seeks to minimize waste and increase value for customers. This course provides a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Lean management. Experienced Lean practitioners teach participants learn some of the key concepts, terms, tools, and techniques needed to communicate about, organize, monitor, and successfully outline a Lean implementation within an organization, or within their own workspace. Additionally, we utilize real-world scenarios for the hands-on exercises during the course to reinforce concepts and learning. This course serves as the foundation on which our other Lean management/Lean Six Sigma/Six Sigma development courses build, and it can be customized based on client needs.
