Lean Management for Non-Manufacturing Processes
Lean is an integral part of many businesses that has been applied to everything from administrative processes and medical organizations to product development: as part of the organizational DNA of many successful corporations, it has become much more than just another trend, but what exactly is it? What tools does it provide, what is the methodology and how can it help improve your team’s efficiency? The objective of this workshop is to gain a deeper understanding of lean and other continuous improvement principles and apply them in a practical setting, using a lean simulation process.
