Subscribe to the Complete Lean Package to view the recorded webinar.
Most people spend all their time applying lean tools to external processes and systems. But what about the fundamental machine of production: you? How can you reap the benefits from applying lean concepts to your own work?
Indeed, you can apply lean principles and tools such as visual management, flow, pull, 5S, and kaizen to your individual work to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and link yourself ever more closely to customer value. While it's true that applying lean at the individual level won't lead to an overnight revolution in organizational performance, it can lead to success stories that make you more effective, and can get your leadership to sit up and pay attention.
Dan Markovitz will share specific strategies from his new book, A Factory of One, that will help you use lean principles to make yourself and your teams more effective.
We will record this webinar and make it available to all registered attendees within 2 business days. The recorded webinar will also be available to all subscribers to the Gemba Academy Complete Lean Package.
