Lean has made remarkable progress on the factory floor and is now moving across companies into the business processes. At The Lean Enterprise Institute's Business Process Summit: Applying Lean Thinking Across the Enterprise, taking place June 8-10, 2005 in Boston, executives can learn how to adapt tools like value-stream mapping, kaizen events, standardized work, flow, leveling -- and even model cells -- to non-production value streams.
Presentations include:
- "Thriving on Variety: Implementing Lean in an MRO Environment" by Pratt & Whitney
- "The Office Also is a Gemba! Deploying Lean in Support and Professional Office Processes" by General Motors
- "Accelerating Change by Combining Value-Stream Management and Six Sigma" by Wellmark
