EXECUTIVE: MORE EFFICIENCY! Professional management training for Lean Office. Many international groups have started a Business Excellence, Lean Management program or are preparing to start one. Senior Management, in the shape of General Managers, Managing Directors, plays a key role in ensuring the penetration of the strategic lean standard and its roll-out over many subsidiaries and countries. Companies with lean experience know that the lean office methods used to achieve business excellence are simple to understand but difficult to organize and even more difficult to sustain. Practical lean management implementation expertise is one of the most important factors which has to be brought on board before starting a lean office initiative. The senior management must be qualified in how to implement lean as a commercial success. Subsidiaries utilize heterogeneous practices, wordings for policy deployment. Hence, the standardized application of lean deployment is crucial for the management of lean office! Management must take the lead in being qualified in the key criteria for success and in using lean standards. Only then will it be able to show evidence that it is willing and well-prepared to start and lead the change towards lean excellence. Organized elimination of all types of waste is a key driver of lean. Waste elimination is an efficient way of implementing a company s vision to be a key player in the domestic or international market. The elimination of waste in business processes has to be organized through a systems approach. In our unique seminar you will be provided with a detailed overview of the different lean tools (lean methods) and the structural elements of an integrated business system. Employees and teams as the operating system are the backbone of the lean administration system. Best practices from many lean office implementations are illustrated and an explanation is given as to how they work. The result? - Significantly improved efficiency which is sustainable in the long-term. The Challenge! This seminar is organized on the basis of personal assignments. Each participant is given dedicated assignments (assignment A, B, C), in order to prove that they can put lean management into practice in their daily routine. The assignments are evaluated and scored by the Lean Institute Germany. A score of more than 60 points out of 100 is required for Lean Green Belt Office Executive Certification to be awarded by the Lean Institute. Furthermore, participants will learn how to plan a target achievement in an orderly manner and to manage the whole process successfully and cost-effectively. A key aspect is the organizational integration of Lean in the daily business: How to manage mobilizing teams? How to ensure that process s are longlasting? What are the key criteria for significant KPI-based s? Participants will also learn about the overall management process and systematic approach which ensures the embedding of Lean / Kaizen Office in the daily work.
