Lean Leader Course

Capture the Tools and Mindset You Need to Lead a Lean Transformation

There’s power in putting great people in a room together! Through four in-person workshops—and the hands-on assignments and feedback—you and your peers will walk away with powerful tools to effectively begin applying Lean principles in your workspace. In addition to Lean Foundations, such as workplace organization and continuous flow, this course teaches game-changing improvement methods, such as…

Measuring for Change
Documenting Reality
Establishing Standard Work
Running a Kaizen Event
Process Analysis
Mistake-Proofing
Setup Reduction
Process Mapping
Total Productive Maintenance
The Leader’s Role in Lean Transformation

Hands-On Assignments

You’ll have project-type assignments to work on between sessions, reporting back to the group every week. Each project builds on the previous one, so you will see improvement of an area as you progress through the course. After completion, you’ll give a report-out of your achievement at a special gathering of your peers, with your company owners/managers invited to attend.

On-Site Tours

Join your peers and business leaders on two optional tours of companies well into their Lean transformation. You will see Lean concepts in action, such as standard work, visual controls, one-piece flow, and more. Participate in discussions immediately after each tour for insight and application.
