Course Description

Looking for ways to surpass your competition?

Learn how to apply two critical Lean concepts to your organization to help you meet those goals – value stream mapping and leading Lean kaizen events. Value stream maps document your key value-creating processes from the customer’s perspective and help to identify the types and drivers of waste in your processes. Lean kaizen events are the method by which you make continual improvements to those processes to eliminate waste and its drivers.

This course will teach you how to identify value streams in your organization, map the critical value streams, analyze value streams for waste and its drivers, and execute Lean kaizen events using the DMAIC framework to implement continuous improvement. These techniques will help you get closer to the fundamental goal of Lean – to produce and deliver the highest quality products and services at the lowest possible cost.
