Course Summary
Lean methodology has been created specifically to enhance productivity, process management, and change implementation procedures across various industries. Lean practices ensure that the right people are in the right roles to achieve the best quality jobs within the fastest turnaround, with the benefit of always aiming for continuous improvement.
Implementing new procedures can be challenging, and managers and employers must create an environment that sets their employees up for success and aims to improve and inspire different processes as a business grows to maintain profits while still producing work to the same standard without breaking the budget.
A sustainable lean process aims to identify the quick wins within a process and accepts that 80% of the benefits will come from 20% of the work if the right processes are amended using the correct organisational systems.
Lean methodology is also set to improve the work-life balance of employees, allowing them to be just as effective in their role in a shorter period, leaving them with more free time or time left over to come up with new and innovative concepts which can propel a business forward.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
