LEAN and MANAGEMENT

All managers either wanting a better knowledge of the concept LEAN, or who are about to complete processes of change in their company or department.

You will get a thorough understanding of the most common LEAN tools. LEAN has come to stay - and for good reasons. Companies have achieved outstanding results with LEAN. In the LEAN toolbox you will find many tools for systematically analysing the production machinery or service function, e.g. mapping of value streams, waste elimination, creation of flow and finally creating a culture of ongoing improvements, i.e. 'Kaizen' in the company.
Experience shows that the primary challenge lies in the interplay between human beings, and only when this is in place, does it make sense to bring out the LEAN tool box. The chances for success of the LEAN project thus depend on 'LEAN MANAGEMENT'. On the course we focus strongly on systematic process thinking as a basis for implementation of LEAN - as well as the human interaction. You will get an understanding of the conditions acting as a prerequisite of success and become able to focus and point to the road ahead.

The course is an inspiring mix of instructor's presentations combined with discussions, exchange of experiences and exercises. Furthermore there will be a possibility of giving a short presentation on LEAN and LEAN management in your own company regardless whether you are at the 'idea stage' or currently implementing LEAN.
