Lean 101 Principles

NEPIRC’s Principles of Lean 101 program will help your workforce understand how Lean Enterprise tools can improve productivity, cut lead times, increase product quality and reduce production costs. In this 8 hour course, participants are put to work within a simulated company that gradually transforms itself from batch processing to single-piece flow by utilizing lean techniques. Attendees learn about common workplace wastes and the principles behind lean tools such as 6S, Kanban, Kaizen, Cellular Flow, POUS and VSM. Participants also become familiar with takt time, pull systems, visual controls and other key lean concepts. This workshop is designed to build greater lean awareness, increase worker receptivity to process changes and improve team behaviors. This program is recommended for companies embarking on a new lean journey.
