| LeanIT | Lean IT: Applying the principles of Lean to IT operations | 14 hours | When an enterprise begins a lean transformation, be it in manufacturing, services, or technology, too often the IT department is left out of the picture. Lean IT is a response to this. Lean IT is an extension of Lean principles to information technology (IT), its principle tenet being "the elimination of waste" (work that adds no value to a product or service). In this instructor-led training, participants learn how to unpack the problem of waste in an IT organization. Through the coverage of theory, case-study activities, and hands-on practice with the tools, methods, and metrics needed, participants learn the critical thinking, analytical and communication skills needed to address the problem of waste in IT operations. By way of this interactive process, participants learn how to apply Lean IT principles and practices within their own organization and establish a culture of continuous improvement in IT. At the end of this course, participants will understand the impact and role of the IT department in an organization's Lean transformation. In practical terms, participants will learn how to: measure business performance quantify the return on "innovation" assess business processes and identify waste reduce operating costs improve quality and performance improve service levels, manage change, and take advantage of emerging technologies maintain quality and stability over time make "Lean thinking” an integral part of the enterprise and every IT professional’s toolkit Audience Managers and specialists working in an IT Organization Format of the course Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and hands-on practice Introduction Lean IT: the intersection of Lean, Six Sigma, and Information Systems.

| leandistribution | Lean Distribution: Implementing Lean in distribution, logistics, and supply chain operations | 14 hours | Lean Distribution refers to the application of Lean Manufacturing concepts to distribution, logistics and supply chain operations. The focus is on adding value for customers, while identifying and eliminating waste—anything that doesn't add that value. In this instructor-led training, participants learn the methodology, teams and tools needed to implement Lean within their own distribution centers and supply chain operations while establishing a culture of continuous improvement. The training combines case activities and discussions with live, hands-on practice using the tools, metrics, and methods needed to implement Lean systems and processes. Some of the concepts covered include: Calculating the true cost of fulfillment Lowering total costs across the supply chain Overcoming resistance to change Cultivating leadership and instilling a mindset of Lean thinking across the organization Audience Managers and professionals responsible for implementing lean principles in distribution, logistics and supply chain operations Format of the course Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and hands-on practice Introduction History of Lean: The Toyota Production System Lean Manufacturing vs Lean Distribution Lean Distribution concepts Lean change and distribution Distribution operations improvement The framework for Lean Distribution Distribution challenges Distribution optimization Business process transformation ERP transformation Lean Distribution methodology Lean capabilities Customer service policy Buffer strategy Replenishment cycles The pull approach Preparing for Lean Distribution Planning a Lean transformation Taking inventory of the process Calculating the total cost of fulfillment Defining KPIs according to the client Observing transactional-level details from receipt to delivery Overcoming resistance Preparing a pilot project Questions to ask The Five Whys Identifying probable cause - beyond symptoms and uncovering root causes of problems The cause and effect diagram Implementing Lean Distribution Assembling the teams Measuring and adjusting Eliminating waste Just-in-time delivery Minimizing human effort Prioritizing safety and cleanliness Improving the flow of inventory Improving events is not enough Providing vision and plans to connect improvement activities Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Lean tools for the warehouse Pareto analysis – what are the big problems? Cause and effect diagram – what’s causing the problem? Stratification – how is the data made up? Check sheet – how often does it occur? Histograms – what is the overall variation?
