Lean helps companies identify and eliminate unnecessary activities and
processes that slow production and create waste. Using Lean, companies can
increase production and process speed and agility, and reduce costs simply by
focusing more on business aspects of their business that matter the most. The
concept of Lean is simple yet extremely effective. Companies in both
operational and transactional industries rely on Lean to help keep costs down
while maintaining a high quality standard.
BMG's Transactional Lean program is a four day workshop designed to help Six
Sigma practitioners and others in a transactional specific environment learn
the principles of Lean and integrate them with the organization's current
process improvement methodology to accelerate change.
Each participant will gain the individual skills needed to apply Lean practices
at their work place and to recognize how this work fits into the larger roadmap
for Lean implementation. The training combines lectures with exercises and
simulations to give participants practice in applying Lean principles and
experience to achieve results.
What Students Learn:
- How to apply Lean methods to improve response to customers' time lines,
quality and cost needs
- How workflow fits into The Roadmap to deploy Lean in an organization
- How Lean and Six Sigma complement one another
- How waste, value-added and non value-added activities affect process
