Learn how Lean Manufacturing principles can improve your office processes; reducing costs and improving efficiencies.
Reduce the number of employees that review and “touch” a file before the work is finally complete.
Reduce costly paperwork errors before they leave the building.
Program Overview:
Lean Principles, focusing on value-added activities and eliminating needless tasks, have as much relevance in the office as on the manufacturing floor. There are many benefits to adopting a lean culture in the office including reduced costs, faster processing times, less duplicate work, improved quality, and better customer satisfaction (plus better quality of work life for the office workers).
This full-day workshop provides an overview of lean concepts and their application to office and administrative processes. Participants will learn to use various lean concepts in an interactive and dynamic simulation, eliminating wastes and achieving better information flow. This train-do technique over three “shifts” illustrates cause and effect relationships for each of the lean tools presented. They will apply lean tools to individual workspaces as well as across an entire process. As part of the simulation, participants will also gain experience in an office kaizen event. Most importantly, the participants will be able to measure the impact of their improvement efforts.
Who Should Attend?
Office managers, supervisors, and support personnel representing a cross-section of the organization (Sales, Engineering, Scheduling, Purchasing, Quality)
