Lean Systems Workshops (one and half days each)

Ten different workshops are offered to help you make your organization's key work systems leaner. In other words, you will learn how to redesign, streamline, and remove waste from these systems to help give you faster and higher impact results at a significantly lower cost. The concepts of Ohno's Toyota Production System and W. Edwards Deming's Profound Knowledge are integrated into the design and content of these learning events.

You can choose to participate in all ten, or you can select only those workshops that would help you address certain key performance areas, such as leadership, training, or customer satisfaction. Lean systems workshops are offered for the following ten system types:

	Leadership development		Compensation and Recognition
	Strategic and annual planning		Training and development
	Customer satisfaction		Process Management
	Performance measurement		Communication
	Job design		Technology

Does Your Company's Culture Support Lean Thinking? (one day)

This one day workshop will give you the chance to assess the degree to which your company's existing culture is ready to support a lean improvement initiative. In this workshop, you will (1) learn about the key success factors for successful culture shifting, (2) complete a comprehensive self assessment of those key systems that reinforce your culture each day, and (3) create a plan for beginning to shape your culture into one that truly support lean thinking, waste reduction, and continuous performance improvement.

You can sign up for a on-site workshop by sending me a e-mail indicating which workshop you would like to bring into your facility.
