The course deals with the evolution and implementation of lean concepts across business processes and industries: practical principles for all private and public Organisations. The course will be most beneficial to: Business Strategists - Chief Executive Officers - Managing Directors - General Managers - High and mid-level Managers (Operations, Production, Quality, R&D, Engineering, Maintenance, HR, Administration, Commercial...) from private enterprises (manufacturing, processing and assembly - service establishments and commercial enterprises - continuous-process industries - mining/project/contract-driven and construction enterprises) of all sizes and public/governmental organisations. Full details, course brochure and registration form at: http://www.scodanibbio.com/leanthinking/index4.html About Lean Thinking: Lean Thinking is changing the way organisations operate. No longer stuck in the paradigm of "mass" thinking, many enterprises, including service and project-driven companies as well as governmental bodies/institutions, have tried to adopt some portions of the Toyota Production System, the Lean philosophy. Many have failed. Many have rushed off, taken a course and pronounced themselves LEAN. Yet very few have tested the depths of overall performance enhancement and added competitiveness possible with a complete change of paradigms in the “lean” direction. Research by Gallup has uncovered that less than 30% of employees are truly engaged in their jobs. Lean Thinkers have long shown that an additional 25-40% of the work done by most organisations is waste or non-value added. This means that nearly 40% of every payroll dollar is lost. With the advent of true global competition, can you afford to lose 40% of your time as a company? This course will be a shocking course for many of you. Because it demystifies all traditional principles of the first industrial revolution on which the majority of enterprises, still today, are built or around which they operate. By presenting in rather great detail the philosophy of the second industrial revolution and the main tools and disciplines readily available to all enterprises to perform in an “excellent” status, this course is a door-opener to lean practices for whoever is: ready to listen to message – prepared to abandon obsolete principles, formulas and approaches – willing to get to “lean” status. This course will prove that competitiveness today can no longer be achieved by merely cutting costs or revamping technology: because cutting costs has a floor, while performance improvement through maximisation of value-added and waste elimination has no ceiling –and because technology alone does not generate the levels of output value enterprises and organisations need to tackle the challenges of the new millennium. This course is the logic development and extrapolation of my “Lean Manufacturing” course, dedicated to the Manufacturing Industry. It shows that Lean principles can and should be adopted not only in Operational Manufacturing processes of any nature, but also in all other processes (commercial, administrative, logistics-related, etc.) and also in the operational processes of non-manufacturing enterprises, such as service establishments, mines and project-driven companies. By showing that “thinking” is what must change at all levels of an organisation, this course will prove that higher levels of performance can be achieved if you create the right conditions.
