Lean Process Improvement
Course Introduction
Lean is a systematic process and approach for eliminating errors. The primary objective of the Lean methodology is to help organizations implement a measurement-based strategy that is centered around process improvement, waste reduction, customer satisfaction and variation reduction through the application of Lean improvement projects and tools. This training lays the foundation needed to start using Lean process improvement techniques at work. It helps participants understand the fundamental insights and tools that are key to maintaining a practice of continuous improvement within the organization.
