Using Lean Tools to Improve — Manufacturers are continually iterating their processes to make sure their operations are driving the needed results. However, many of these same manufacturers, while focusing on operational efficiencies, tend to forget that by improving their administrative functions simultaneously, they become more of a whole-package company. During this one-day course, your front office leaders and team members will learn to not only understand lean concepts such as standard work, workplace organization, process flow, and more, but also learn to apply them to their disciplines within the organization. This class is for HR professionals, customer service teams, marketing, purchasing, shipping, accounting, and any other group in your manufacturing company that supports the manufacturing processes through administrative and front-office functions. By attending this course, your team will: • Eliminate unnecessary tasks and touch points within your front office processes • Learn to see issues, solve problems, and share successes for further improvement • Understand how to use lean tools such as visual boards, standard meetings, project tracking mechanisms, and more to keep projects on task and on-time
