Transform your Lean knowledge into skill!
If your Lean program isn't delivering the results you expect, it could be
because your practitioners are struggling with running effective Lean Kaizen
events. They may know how to "talk" Lean, but not "walk" Lean -- they
don't know when to apply the right Lean tools at the right time. Even
on-the-job Kaizen training can distract beginners from essential learning if
they're too close to the process being improved, or if pressure to succeed is
high.
This online training session offers an environment designed for knowledge
transfer. Each participant will get a taste of what actually occurs
before, during and after a Lean Kaizen Event. Students learn how to apply
different Lean tools. Along the way, they discover how to choose and
motivate team members, and how to manage team activity during the event.
In addition, they learn how to maximize and document financial results, ensuring
greater ROI for your organization.
During the training, students also learn about the SCORE™ methodology, a
highly-successful approach to planning, executing and evaluating Kaizen events
developed by BMGI. Practitioners find out what the key steps are for each
phase of SCORE (Select, Clarify, Organize, Run and Evaluate).
How to Run a Successful Kaizen Event provides a unique opportunity for
organizations to increase the rate of return on Lean projects. It provides
a quick and effective way to train several Kaizen event leaders at once,
resulting in more consistent training and less time spent learning on the job.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Lead waste-reducing Kaizen events using the results-driven SCORE
methodology.
- Choose the right Lean tool at the right moment during the event.
- Create meaningful and realistic Kaizen event deliverables.
- Plan and deliver fast-paced events that are fun and engaging for all
participants.
- Effectively capture and report on event results.
