Lean Thinking and Value Stream Mapping Training
Develop the analytical skills you need to save resources and improve the workflows of your operations.
This 1-day Lean Thinking VSM course will teach you how to “think in a Lean mode”.
This course is ideal for introducing your staff to Lean thinking principles and quickly launch small improvement projects. Presented in the form of a serious game, it’s a great way to start thinking collectively on how to improve your work processes. You can use that training to improve and streamline activities between different departments and teams.
Objectives of the Lean Thinking training course:
- Learn how to improve the flow of activities in Kaizen Event mode
- Learn how to eliminate waste and make operations more fluid
- Learn how to improve a process for the benefit of all stakeholders (customer, worker, owner)
- Visualize flows (physical or information) and define the most efficient and effective flow
