"I plan to
use my increased
knowledge of "Lean" to assist
companies in becoming all that
they can be and assist in
bringing them one step closer to increased profits through
implementation."

Although initially used in manufacturing
organizations, Lean Principles have been applied in many administrative
and service processes, including public sector organizations.
Why do it?
There are a number of characteristics
that most organizations display, that suggest a Lean approach would
be of benefit:
- A lack of understanding of what
activities really add value for customers
- No clear definition of the end-to-end
value chain
- Too many process flows have delays,
bottlenecks, re-work loops and built-in waste
- High levels of stock and work
in progress, "just in case" there is customer demand
Taking the Lean101 Online course
can help you understand how implementing a Lean Office can improve
your business operations.
- Recognize waste and non-value
added activities commonly found in office environments
- Introduce value stream mapping-a
way to highlight opportunities and plan your improvements
