| Lean (Office) White Belt |
|
| A lean office produces just what is needed, when it is needed with no additional labor, costs or time. Office waste is not as easy to see, so it’s harder to find! Stacks of physical inventory are far more obvious than email inboxes at full capacity. |

| Lean and Six Sigma Fusion |
|
| The integration of Lean and Six Sigma is guided by the deployment history of a company. Three approaches of combing the Six Sigma and Lean methodologies are described. These include: 1) Six Sigma Approach to Lean with DMAIC as the primary framework for an emphasis on process effectiveness; 2) Lean Approach to Six Sigma with system efficiency as the primary driver; and 3) the balanced approach of a Lean Six Sigma Blend. |

| 5S |
|
| 5S is a technique that results in a workplace that is clean, uncluttered, safe and well organized. The 5S pillars, Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke), provide a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment. A 5S environment has “a place for everything and everything in its place,” with all tools and materials ready where and when they are needed. Learn how 5S can help reduce waste and optimize productivity in any work environment. |

| Changeover Reduction |
|
| Changeover reduction is one of the fundamental techniques in lean manufacturing and a key enabler to waste reduction. Changeover is defined as the time required from the unloading or completion of the last good part until the production of the first good part of the next run.
Reducing changeover time enables production in smaller, more frequent batches, which has the following advantages:
Level production flow and output.
* Elimination of waste and non-value added activities.
* Improved manufacturing flexibility.
* Reduced inventory and lead time |

| Future State Value Stream Map (VSM) |
|
| The future state value stream map is a graphical and analytical depiction of the lean transformation process for a specific value stream. In this course participants will learn how to analyze the current state map and develop a future state map that identifies improvements to be made to the value stream. Participants will learn how to evaluate takt time versus cycle time, enable and connect process flow, implement pull, and to identify waste for elimination. |
|

|
|
| Kaizen Events |
|
| Kaizen Events are highly effective team events that focus on achieving rapid results. Kaizen teams use various analytical and Lean techniques, such as Value Stream Mapping, Changeover Reduction, 5S, Total Productive Maintenance, and Workplace Design to implement rapid improvements. |

| Mistake or Error Proofing (Poka-Yoke) |
|
| Error Proofing is one of the Lean tools used to ensure products and processes are completed correctly the first time. The goal of error proofing is to prevent the occurrence of defects and to ensure that mistakes are detected when they occur. Because people can make mistakes even in inspection, error proofing often relies on mechanisms built into tools or systems that automatically signal when problems occur or prevent the process from continuing until the proper conditions are met. |

|
| Current State Value Stream Map (VSM) |
|
| The current state value stream map is a graphical and analytical depiction of current state of the process for a specific value stream. Understanding the current state is a critical first step to evaluating and improving the flow of value to the customer.
In this course participants will learn:
* the importance of identifying value streams within operations
* factors to consider when selecting a value stream for improvement
* steps to create a current state value stream map
* how to calculate takt time and evaluate versus cycle time

| Product Flow and Pull Systems |
|
| The concept of “Pull” in a Lean office or factory means to respond to the pull, or demand, of the customer. Lean companies design their operations and processes to respond to the ever-changing requirements of customers. |
|

|
|

|
|
| Standardized Work |
|
| Standard Work is an essential building block of a Lean Enterprise. Standard Work helps ensure that each step in the process is clearly defined so that work can be performed repeatedly in the same manner. Variations in processes result in mistakes or other quality problems that require inspection, rework, and scrap. |

| The Eight Deadly Wastes |
|
| Producing anything that the customer doesn’t want or need is waste. It lowers your profits. It leaves you less competitive in your market. This course teaches the principles of the Eight Wastes and the difference between Value Add and Non-Value Add activities. The eight wastes are described with examples to help the participant see the waste that is hidden, or taken for granted, in both manufacturing and office environments. Utilizing Lean techniques can help to dramatically reduce these wastes and their associated costs. |

| Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) |
|
| Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a team and shop floor based initiative focused on optimizing the effectiveness of manufacturing equipment. Maintenance departments are traditionally the center of preventive maintenance programs; TPM seeks to train and focus workers to take care of the equipment and machines with which they work.
TPM focuses on preventing breakdowns (preventive maintenance), making maintenance easier (corrective maintenance), designing and installing equipment that needs little or no maintenance (maintenance prevention), and quickly repairing equipment after breakdowns occur (breakdown maintenance). |

|
| Visual Management |
|
| Visual Management is the establishment of a workplace where performance conditions can be understood by sight such that:
* Problem areas are highlighted in order to…
* Expose waste in the process to…
* Take action and eliminate waste!
One of the most important benefits of a visual workplace is that even someone unfamiliar with the process can, within a matter of minutes, know what is happening, identify errors, and can tell if anything is out of place or missing. |

|
|
| Workplace Design |
|
| Creating high performance work spaces or manufacturing cells involves much more than moving machines and people closer together. Well designed work places eliminate waste and help to optimize material, people, and information flow. The work flows in alignment with value streams rather than according to functional teams or departments. |
