Are you interested in learning and applying Lean to your job or personal life, to save you time in your week?
Check out this <A HREF="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/25/opinion/gender-marriage-spreadsheet.html" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">recent article in the NYT's about applying Lean to your home life</A>!
One of the complaints we get from people is that they would like to apply Lean concepts, but there aren’t any events taking place, or they don’t know exactly how it applies to their job or home. They also mention that their company or organization does not support process improvement.
You don’t need your manager to support you in order to be more efficient and effective at work. And you don't need anyone's approval to apply Lean to your personal life,
We will provide training on Lean concepts, help you identify an improvement project, then help you through the project, so you can measure and share the time and cost savings.
You’ve heard the saying, “work smarter, not harder”? We provide the tools and process to get you there. Most approaches teach you how to do your tasks more quickly. We make you question the value of the task, and whether it should be done at all. If it is valuable, then we provide you with tools and techniques to make the work or personal tasks more efficient overall.
The goal of this course is to accomplish the following:
- Learn about Lean and find waste in the work you do, or in your personal time
- Identify one of the wastes and calculate the time it takes
- Work on a project to reduce the time by applying the correct tools and techniques to the problem
- Improve and quantify benefits from the project
- Share your success with others in the class, leaders at your work, or your friends!
