Overview
Question: What does every business need in order to compete in today’s market?
Answer: Continuous improvement strategies that help you respond to your customers needs in the blink of an eye, lower your costs, and improve your quality, all at increased speed.
This course in Lean Enterprise Methodologies will take participants through an experiential learning model on how to implement specific Lean Enablers to improve processes within your operation. The experiential learning exercise will be complemented with actual case study results. We will also cover potential pit-falls to avoid during your implementation or enhancement.
By developing your lean expertise, you will reduce your risk of failure, drive meaningful cultural change and establish best practices that will make a long-term impact. The Lean Certificate Program for Health Care will enable you to successfully lead processes that reduce waste, improve efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction. The Lean Certificate Program for Health Care combines highly-specialized classroom experience and work-related homework to move beyond the basic principles. This program is built around applied learning to truly help you master Lean as it relates to real world situations and problems. Through this hands-on learning model, you gain an in-depth understanding of the Lean approach and tools and you actually use them on a real world, work related project. After you complete the intensive classroom portion of the certificate program, you’ll undertake an individual project featuring a before-and-after lean process review, focusing on error reduction and waste elimination. You’ll achieve certification upon demonstrating successful application of lean principles.
