Many executives know the Toyota Production System (TPS) as a revolutionary approach to manufacturing but not everyone knows it is also a revolutionary approach to business processes. This course will introduce the fundamental concepts of lean manufacturing/Toyota Production as applied to business systems.

The goals of this course are to help students understand:

• how lean/TPS principles can be applied to business processes
• what concepts and behaviors can drive a successful lean transformation

Major topics include:

• lean accounting
• transformational leadership
• operations management
• lean culture
• best practices for lean implementation

Through a mixture of lectures, hands-on lean simulations and interactive exercises, participants will develop a real understanding of how lean works. Benchmarking visits to two local companies will show them exemplary lean business practices in operation.

In addition to the UK Lean Group instructors, a variety of speakers will address the class, including Toyota Executives who will share the true essence of the Toyota Production System.

The week’s learning will conclude with a final “plan on paper” exercise for lean implementation to ensure that their new lean knowledge will be ready for immediate practical application.

Fees:
$2,500.00
