New Internal Logistics Course
Introduction to Internal Logistics
As organizations take steps toward achieving continuous flow it’s common for one or more supporting systems to struggle. A typical problem is that material handling and supply processes can’t keep up with the faster pace of one-piece flow. In other words, we need to build a system of internal logistics that enables continuous flow. Learn the steps for building an internal logistics system from creating a plan for every part (PFEP), preparing a parts supermarket, developing delivery routes, designing racks, containers and conveyance systems, and documenting standard work for logistics.

New Internal Logistics Course
What is a Water Spider?
The water spider plays a critical role in helping an organization achieve smooth flow. They move materials through an operation, step in to relieve team members, and prevent non-routine tasks from interrupting the workflow. Learn how the role of a water spider differs from that of an internal logistics delivery driver, the three types of water spider tasks, how to set their work interval, and how to create standard work for a water spider role.

New Internal Logistics Course
How to Build a Supermarket
The supermarket is a parts storage area that serves as a key building block of a flow-focused internal logistics system. Learn the main differences between supermarkets and traditional storage, its advantages, and the steps for developing, sustaining, and improving supermarket operations.

New Internal Logistics Course
How to Design Internal Logistics Delivery Routes
The design and operation of delivery routes are central to the success of an internal logistics system. Learn the four common types of delivery routes, the role of pull signals in logistics information flow, how to create delivery route standard work, how to follow the step-by-step approach to designing a continuous replenishment delivery route, and more.

New Simulation
The Bridge Game
Exercises, games, and simulations are fun, interactive ways to learn new concepts. The Bridge Game is a hands-on activity that teams or individuals can do in thirty minutes or less. Facilitators can use the Bridge Game to teach the importance of creative thinking, the importance of understanding scientific principles, or just as a fun way to break the ice or start a workshop or meeting.

New TPM Course
TPM Education & Training
The TPM Education and Training pillar is a key enabler of all other TPM methods, techniques, and practices. By following the step-by-step approach to building this pillar, we design and deploy long-term plans to develop people’s skills that are key to raising motivation, improving equipment performance, and meeting business objectives.

New Course
Facilitation
A key role of a facilitator is to help participants of meetings, workshops, conferences, or other events meet certain objectives within a set amount of time. Facilitation skills and practices help engage people in change, improvement, or innovation activities. Learn what a facilitator is and is not, how they facilitate different types of activities and the seven key facilitation skills.

New TPM Course
P‑M Analysis
P‑M Analysis is a technique for addressing chronic losses. This approach to cause analysis thoroughly studies the M, or Mechanisms, of a specific problem phenomenon related to equipment, or P. Learn the differences between chronic losses and sporadic losses, the characteristics of P‑M Analysis compared to other common cause analysis approaches, the eight steps for conducting P‑M Analysis, and a typical project team and how they use a storyboard to visualize their work.

New Course
Change Management
Change management offers a structured process for planning, preparing, implementing, and monitoring successful change in an organization. Learn the seven common reasons that change efforts fail, proven frameworks for avoiding these failure modes, and how to form and operate a steering committee that is able to manage risk, engage stakeholders, and monitor the progress of a change initiative.

New Kata Course
How to Run Virtual Kata in the Classroom
Experiential learning is an effective way to learn continuous improvement concepts, but what happens when participants can only connect virtually? The answer is that there are ways to virtually practice continuous improvement concepts, including the Kata in the Classroom workshop. Originally targeted at Middle School teachers, Kata in the Classroom has now found its way into K‑12, college, and corporate educational settings around the world. This course uses a cloud-based spreadsheet instead of a jigsaw puzzle and provides tips and tricks to successfully run the workshop virtually.

Updated Course
Seven Quality Control (7QC) Tools
The Seven Quality Control (7 QC) Tools are an essential set of graphing techniques that are used to identify and fix problems that undermine product or process quality. The 7 QC Tools provide continuous improvement practitioners with a systematic approach for identifying and troubleshooting quality issues. Learn the seven quality control tools and how to use them within your organization. *This course is an update to our existing course.
