‘Lean Thinking’ for Performance in HE



Programme leadersBrian Morgan
Abstract

Introduce the main principles of ‘Lean Thinking’. Participants will become familiar with key diagnostic and analytical tools for application back in the workplace.  The concepts that underpin ‘Lean Thinking’ are key for improving performance. Participants will understand the concept of the ‘value stream’ and how to produce a ‘value stream map’ of the organisation.  They will identify value adding activities in the workplace and recognise different types of wastes. Various diagnostic tools will be demonstrated for effective lean implementation.


The programme will be participative and interactive.
