- Identify and map the value stream, pinpointing areas that require improvement
- Develop a roadmap and implementation plan
- Turn data into actionable information to quantify problems and prioritize countermeasures
- Understand “Kata” methodology and how to use a structured coaching approach to drive continuous improvement thinking and acting, down to the contributor level
Training Topics:
- A3 Thinking

- Effective Communication
- Kata Principles
- Root Cause Analysis
- Training Within Industry (TWI)

Lean Certification Training Benefits:
During the course of our Level One Lean Certification, participants learned to:
- Apply what they learn to an actual Continuous Improvement project at their facility, and every student develops the components of their own A3
- Develop an ability to identify non-value-added activities (i.e. waste) in processes through DVIRC’s “learn and apply” approach
- Help develop solutions to minimize or eliminate non-value-added activities
- Build essential skills related to job instructions, relations, and methods
- Work with a learning partner to implement Continuous Improvement practices
