Details

Understanding the principles of Lean is important, but delivering Lean successfully is essential. This masterclass focuses on how to run successful Lean events, including Value Stream Mapping Events, Rapid Improvement Events and 2P Events.

Although the masterclass begins with a very short refresher on the principles of Lean it assumes participants will already be familiar with the basic Lean concepts and tools.

The focus is on how to structure successful events, when and how to use them and what needs to be done to effectively prepare, deliver and follow up on events. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to get to grips with some of the less common tools and concepts used in 2P and Rapid Improvement Events.

Course content:

  • Lean Refresher 
  • Structuring Lean Events 
  • Lean Concepts for 2P and Rapid Improvement Events

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand how to structure successful Lean events 
  • Get to grips with some of the less common, but useful, concepts 
  • Learn about the people issues that affect the success of Lean events

Benefits:

  • More activity for the same cost as well as a reduction in costs in most cases 
  • Improved reliability and quality

Successful Lean events are about: 

  • Planning effectively including being clear about the problem you want to tackle 
  • Engaging a team of people in the process of change 
  • Following up and turning benefits into reality

Who is this course for?
