Description [LIVE][FREE][Productivity] Introduction to LEAN: Business/Life improvements - Hosted in Tasmania, Australia!

This is a 1-hour presentation with time for deeper discussion and questions at the end.

This session will introduce the concept of Lean and its focus on eliminating waste and creating value for customers through improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing quality.

We discuss how understanding Lean 8 Wastes and 5S can improve productivity and using their terminology to help make changes in your workplace. We will also discuss how to use the 5 Whys and what Value is in Lean.

This is a group online training session using ZOOM. You will be able to interact with the trainer and other participants. Ask questions and request follow-up information.

If you’re not able to make the session, feel free to join a future session. The session will not be recorded, allowing participants to relax and have honest discussions.

Please email lean@davidrobinson.au with any questions.

Session plan for teaching LEAN:

1. Introduction: Begin by introducing the concept of LEAN and its focus on eliminating waste and creating value for customers. Explain the principles of LEAN and how they are applied to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase quality.

2. Value Stream Mapping: Introduce the tool of value stream mapping and explain how it is used to visualise and analyse the flow of materials and information needed to create a product or service for a customer. Provide an example of a current state map and a future state map, and explain how they are used to identify improvement opportunities.

3. LEAN Tools and Techniques: Introduce some of the key tools and techniques used in LEAN, such as 5S, KANBAN, PDCA, and Six Sigma. Explain how each tool is used and provide examples of how they can be applied in different types of organisations.

4. Case Studies: Present case studies or examples of how LEAN has been successfully implemented in different organisations. Discuss the challenges and benefits of implementing LEAN and how it has impacted organisations.

5. Group Exercise: Divide the participants into groups and have them work on a case study or simulated problem using LEAN tools and techniques. This can be a hands-on activity where they apply the tools to a real or simulated problem, or it can be a more theoretical exercise where they identify improvement opportunities and create a plan for implementing LEAN.

6. Conclusion: Review the key points and takeaways from the session. Encourage participants to think about how they can apply LEAN principles and tools in their own organisations and encourage continuous learning and improvement.

Session plan for teaching 8 Wastes:

1. Introduction: Begin by introducing the concept of waste and its impact on efficiency and cost in organizations. Explain that the LEAN philosophy is focused on identifying and eliminating waste in order to create value for customers.

2. The 8 Wastes: Introduce the 8 LEAN wastes (overproduction, waiting, transporting, overprocessing, inventory, motion, defects, and underutilized talent) and provide examples of how each type of waste can occur in different types of organizations.

3. Group Exercise: Divide the participants into groups and have them brainstorm examples of the 8 wastes in their own organizations. Encourage them to think about how each type of waste impacts efficiency and cost, and how it could be eliminated or minimized.

4. Case Studies: Present case studies or examples of how the 8 wastes have been successfully addressed in different organizations. Discuss the challenges and benefits of reducing waste and the tools and techniques that were used.

5. Tool Application: Introduce tools and techniques that can be used to identify and eliminate the 8 wastes, such as value stream mapping, 5S, and KANBAN. Explain how these tools can be used in different types of organizations to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

6. Group Exercise: Have the participants work in groups to apply one or more of the tools to a real or simulated problem in their own organization, with the goal of identifying and eliminating one or more of the 8 wastes.

7. Conclusion: Review the key points and takeaways from the session. Encourage participants to think about how they can apply the tools and techniques learned in the session to identify and eliminate waste in their own organizations, and encourage continuous learning and improvement.
