Lean Applied for Supervisors In Person

Lean Applied for Supervisors is a 16-hour activity-based course over four sessions for frontline leadership and managers. It is based on maintaining and improving a foundation for excellence in any organization. Though not specific to manufacturing, it teaches the concept of shop floor kaizen which consists of three components including: workplace organization, cleanliness, elimination of waste and standard work. In this course participants will learn that shop floor kaizen forces problems to the surface, thus driving organizations and leaders to raise their game to problem solve.

Participants will learn tools and techniques of a quality system and how to implement this with team members. They learn to identify what can fail, how to ensure they won’t fail and if things still fail, using root cause analysis to determine why.  

This course is based on the four elements of the Cost of Poor Quality; prevention costs, appraisal costs, internal and external failure costs.

Finally, this course teaches the 10 guiding principles that define the ideal behavior for supervisors:

• Lead with Humility
• Respect Every Individual
• Focus on Process
• Embrace Scientific Thinking
• Flow & Pull Value
• Assure Quality at the Source
• Seek Perfection
• Create Constancy of Purpose
• Think Systemically
• Create Value for the Customer
