    Activity
    In today’s fast-paced, ultra-competitive and cost-sensitive global environment, it is more important than ever to increase organisational effectiveness through the engagement of people, the elimination of waste and the cultivation of innovative teams who are constantly striving to improve. These are all part of a modern management concept known as Lean Management, mainly pioneered by Toyota experts. Yet most organisations are still operating under a largely 20st Century Management System and set of leadership behaviours. Lean Management welcomes you to a 21st Century way of managing and leading your organisation.

    Although the Lean concept has been in existence for quite some time, most of the training focuses on the process improvement tools - the Management and Management System components have been largely missed. This course is designed to teach senior leaders and middle managers how to effectively create a lean organisation, including relevant leadership competencies, culture-building techniques and key Lean Management principles.
    Objective
    The aim of this course is to take participants through the entire Lean Management System model, using exercises and examples to reinforce critical concepts and implementation methods. Small teams will work through simulations and discover how to apply Lean Management techniques to significantly improve the organisation’s strategy, processes and people. By the end of the course, participants will have a solid base of knowledge of the Lean Management System and how to build the right methods, habits and behaviours in their organisation to increase bottom-line performance.
    Outline
    Introduction

    Participants will be provided a brief introduction of Lean: the history, basic concepts and its fascinating journey through multiple industries and applications.

    The components come together to form a management model, in the configuration of an ongoing cycle of change, learning and improvement.
