LEAN GREEN BELT SEMINAR: Understanding key criteria for success!

Senior management and second level lean management training: Simply better than the rest...

Lean Green Belt Executive (Senior Management Lean Training)

Many international groups have started a Lean Management program or are preparing to start. Management, through the Lean Strategic Director and the Lean Project Manager, has key responsibility for the definition of the strategic lean standard and for its roll-out over many sites and countries. Companies with lean experience know that the methods of lean production to achieve world-class performance are simple to understand but difficult to organize and even more difficult to sustain. Practical lean implementation expertise (shopfloor, “Gemba”) is among the most important factors to bring on-board before starting a lean initiative. The responsible lean organization and its management members must be qualified in how to implement lean as a sustainable success. Different sites speak different, heterogeneous “lean languages”. Hence, the standardized design of lean production systems is crucial for success! Management must take the lead in being qualified in the key criteria for success and in using lean standards. Only then will it be able to show evidence that it is willing and well-prepared to start and lead the change towards lean excellence.

You do not become lean by simply reducing headcount. Waste elimination is an efficient method to implement a company’s vision to be a key player in the business. The elimination of waste in manufacturing and business processes has to be organized through a systems approach. In our unique seminar you will get a detailed Overview of the different lean improvement tools (lean methods) and the structural elements of a integrated production system. Employees and teams (effective work groups) as the ‘operating system’ are the backbone for the lean production system. Best practices from many lean implementations are illustrated and explained. And the result? Significantly improved productivity which is sustainable.

Key aspects that are covered

Organizational integration of Lean into daily business. How to manage mobilizing middle-management? How to ensure that process improvements are long-lasting? What are the determining behaviors for leadership?

Participants will also learn the management tools and systematic approach which ensures essential support and integration from top management.
