BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT LEARNING PROGRAMS

Lean Enterprise Lite

Overview

The core idea of Lean Enterprise Lite is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste. Lean eliminates waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points and creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with fewer defects. As a result, organizations turn to it to remain competitive, innovative, and profitable.

Lean Enterprise Lite projects cut through all levels of an organization.  They deliver streamlined key business processes that increase productivity, reduce costs and optimize customer service levels.  Although your current situation may seem challenging, through the efforts of Lean you will be able to identify new opportunities.

This workshop focuses on the core lean methods and their application so that you can minimize all forms of waste and maximize value for the customer.  You will be engaged in practical and relevant exercises and discussions about Lean Enterprise and will work through a simulation/ actual business process to analyze and implement Lean Enterprise Lite.
