Workshop Overview
One of the primary objectives for lean practitioners and enterprises is to to smoothly flow value to our customers by eliminating waste—any task/activity that consumes resources yet creates no customer value.
No matter the type of business, waste is prevalent—often accounting for 90% or more of the time it takes to complete a process, causing endless headaches along the way. Fortunately, this doesn't have to be the case. We can conquer waste and create smoothly flowing value streams. Lean thinking is the way.
By participating in this workshop, attendees will learn how to identify, eliminate, and prevent the 8 major categories of waste from frustrating our customers, draining our resources, and damaging our businesses.
Through engaging discussions, interactive exercises, and real-life case studies, this workshop is designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills to eliminate waste and drive improvement throughout their organizations.
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the world of Lean, a manufacturer or a virtual worker, an intern or a CEO, this training event is designed to inspire and empower.
