Kaizen Kanban Workshop 

This training (which can be provided in a half-day or full-day format) will introduce techniques to combine various toolboxes and leverage the experience of participants to identify improvement opportunities for entire value streams. Participants will learn to compile project prioritization boards linked to key business objectives and prioritized based on complexity and return on investment. The Kaizen Kanban communication and prioritization boards are visible to all levels of employees within the organization and helps improvement teams identify which projects should be selected for implementation.   request more info>

Metrics Workshop 

This half-day session introduces participants to Metrics and Key Performance Indicators which can be used to assess Key Business Objectives, operational performance and effectiveness of project and change initiatives. Participants are introduces to the 4A model which teaches them to assess the current measurement gaps and develop an initial metric strategy. Participants will learn to implement the use of these metrics, create usable dashboards, validate the measurements and the resulting behavior, address the audit findings and adapt the metrics accordingly.

Waste Awareness And 5s Workshop

This training (which can be provided in a half-day or a full day-format) will teach students how to identify different types of waste and how they impact lead-time and profitability.  Participants will also learn to differentiate between value adding and non-value adding steps.   Students will also learn how  to organize the workplace, keep it clean, establish standardized conditions, and maintain the necessary discipline to eliminate waste and prevent it from reoccurring.   request more info>

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Workshop

In this half-day workshop, students learn techniques to go beyond the symptoms and dive deeper to identify the causes of apparent failures and/or problems. They also learn the importance of the PDCA cycle to make sure the proposed or implemented improvements effectively resolved the issue.   request more info>

Failure Mode And Effect Analysis (FMEA) Workshop

In this half-day workshop, participants are introduced to a structured approach to identify potential failures in a design, process, final product or service. They also learn how to study and rank the consequences of these failures based on the severity of the impact, how often they occur and how easily they can be detected. This course emphasizes a visual approach and reinforces the facilitation skills of the participants.   request more info>

Process Mapping And Analysis Workshop

This workshop (which can be provided in a half-day or full-day format) will introduce participants to the generation of a visual representation (process map) of a process in order for people unfamiliar with the process to understand the flow of work and the steps required to complete the process. Participants will be introduced to map review and analysis techniques to identify opportunities for improvement. (OFI). Participants will learn a visual process analysis approach that captures the connections between steps by looking at the supplier, input, output, customer, process owner and process operator using an iterative approach.   request more info>

Introduction To Visio

This 2 hour session teaches students the basics of the Visio mapping software so they can reproduce their process maps electronically and keep a record of the work done for future use. This is an optional add-on to the course and requires participants to have the software loaded on their computers.   request more info>

Value Stream Mapping and Analysis Workshop (pre-requisite: Process Mapping) 

This workshop (which can be provided in a half-day or full-day format) will introduce participants to proper time study techniques. Participants will learn how to measure the efficiency of a process. They will also learn techniques that combine the benefits of a process map and time based analysis to enable participants to see the complete process flow, identify sources and locations of waste and determine the effect of changes on various metrics. Participants will learn to analyze flow, identify OFIs and to quantify the potential impact of improvements on cycle time and throughput.
