Description:
|
In this course, participants will learn and apply
Lean Office principles to the company’s information flow.
The class will begin with a review of the eight
basic wastes in the context of non-production processes. In
addition, a brief review of the various flow concepts is provided to
develop a necessary foundation. Then a company process-by-process
review is conducted and the means by which to apply flow concepts
are explored. The processes covered include, but are not limited
to: Order Entry, New Product Design, Inventory Control, Purchasing,
Inventory Management, Invoicing, Scheduling, and Production Control.
A map of the company’s current state is developed
and serves as a basis for re-designing the various business
processes. A future state map is then developed that serves as a
"what can be" vision.
