Lean Management is based on the success principles of Toyota Motor Company. These generic five elements, the four rules, and the many quantitative tools guide organizations toward maximizing value for customers while streamlining internal business processes.  Our training focuses on kaizen (continuous process improvement) methodologies that empower teams to incrementally improve business processes. In kaizen training, we cover the following topics:

​

• Acquiring customer specifications of how they see value generated by products and services

• Mapping business processes

• Identifying value-added activities and non-value added activities

• Determining priorities for continuous process improvements

• Data collection and analysis to determine baseline measures of effectiveness

• Determining root causes of quality problems

• Exploring alternative solutions and choosing change elements

• Implementing and monitoring impact of changes
