Lean Awareness
​
Overview
​
This 1-day awareness course enables delegates to understand the following:
-
Benefits of Lean Thinking for their organisation
-
Lean principles, tools and techniques
-
How Lean can be implemented across an organisation.
​
Lean thinking has become a widely adopted improvement approach that can simplify processes and improve performance in both manufacturing and service organisations.
Lean recognises that, at best, only a small percentage (<5%) of process steps add value to the customer, and about 30% are necessary to run the business on a day-to-day basis - the rest is no value adding, a.k.a. waste (muda).
The effective application of Lean principles and tools can significantly:
-
Increase the % of customer value-adding process time and steps
-
Reduce the % of business value-adding time and steps necessary for running the business, including administrative activities related to product and service quality, health and safety, compliance to rules & regulations, etc.
-
Reduce the time to complete a customer order from start to finish, and the associated operating costs
​
The above improvements will also contribute to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as business growth and profitability.
​
For delegates to be able to undertake even a basic improvement project, they must undertake more advanced training courses in Lean, to acquire sufficient knowledge and skills.
