Organization Lean Management

COURSE OVERVIEW:

Traditional management systems are largely based on disaggregating the functions of the organization and managing performance of each piece in short time increments. This approach assumes the performance of the whole is the sum of the parts. Abnormalities are largely perceived as performance shortfalls and managers are expected to lead the problem analysis and demonstrate proficiency at knowing the answers.

Lean organizations depend of developing the problem solving capabilities of the entire workforce allocating specific categories of problems to each layer of the organization. While there is still a need for deep expertise in specialty departments the emphasis is on the performance of the entire value stream and the customer which it serves.

Leadership in this type of organization is less focused on being the problem solver and more focused on building the problem solving muscle of the workforce. While traditional organizations delegate problem solving within 10-20% of the workforce, lean organizations endeavor to have the entire organization actively engaged in problem solving. This two-day course is an overview of the elements that comprise the Lean Management System and an examination of how they work together to create a system of continuous improvement through collaborative problem solving.
