The Basics of DMAIC

View Demo     See Course Objectives     See Course Outline

This course is a variation of the “DMAIC Problem-Solving” course. Its strong focus on Value Stream Mapping aligns the course with a Lean Six Sigma approach. The course includes tutorials on many problem-solving tools that help identify, analyze and fix problems.

Lean Manufacturing

View Demo     See Course Objectives     See Course Outline

This course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of how Lean Manufacturing works in a manufacturing company.  Lean concepts (why lean, lean terminology, identifying wastes, Value Stream Mapping methods and the linkage between lean and Six Sigma) and lean practices (streamlining the value stream, workplace organization, ensuring predictability and consistency, set-up reduction, TPM, the visual workplace and continuous improvement) are covered. The course provides the learner with lean implementation suggestions including approaches for addressing people issues, collecting and analyzing data to plan and track lean efforts, process workflow and layouts options with rationale and a sequential roadmap.

Lean for Business Processes

This course provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of how Lean Manufacturing works in a transaction or non-manufacturing business.  Lean concepts (why lean, lean terminology, identifying wastes, Value Stream Mapping methods and the linkage between lean and Six Sigma) and lean practices (streamlining the value stream, workplace organization, ensuring predictability and consistency, the visual workplace and continuous improvement) are covered. The course provides the learner with lean implementation suggestions including approaches for addressing people issues, collecting and analyzing data to plan and track lean efforts, process workflow and layouts options with rationale and a sequential roadmap.

Mapping Office Workflows

See Course Objectives     See Course Outline

Mapping Office Workflows helps office workers create visual representations of processes that they work in and provides them with tools that help unveil different aspects of their workflow and see the processes they work in from different angles. By using one or more of the mapping tools covered (Brown-Paper Flow, Workflow Diagrams, Flowcharting, Value-Stream Mapping), learners will be able to identify the causes of nagging problems and take action to remedy them.
