5S is the first place many lean jour­neys start due to its quick and sus­tained impact on an orga­ni­za­tion. Our 5S cours­es will have you imple­ment­ing a 5S pro­gram in no time.

There are sev­en (and some­times 8) types of iden­ti­fied wastes that are keep­ing your orga­ni­za­tion from reach­ing its full poten­tial. This is not just a man­u­fac­tur­ing prob­lem, all indus­tries can ben­e­fit iden­ti­fy­ing and elim­i­nat­ing wastes.

Do you ful­ly under­stand your entire pro­duc­tion process from end to end? The best way to get in deep to your busi­ness process’s is with a tool known as val­ue stream map­ping, or VSM for short. In these cours­es you will see how to cre­ate your own val­ue stream maps. Addi­tion­al­ly you can also expe­ri­ence sim­u­la­tions used to prove the supe­ri­or­i­ty of flow, over batch pro­duc­tion for most processes. 

We can say that the entire lean man­u­fac­tur­ing sys­tem is a result of decades of con­tin­u­ous prob­lem solv­ing by all of the peo­ple and com­pa­nies who have con­tributed to the devel­op­ment of lean sys­tems. The Gem­ba Acad­e­my Prac­ti­cal Prob­lem Solv­ing course explains the exact 8 step prob­lem solv­ing process used by these lean exem­plars around the world. In this course you’ll learn why PDCA is much more than 4 sim­ple steps while also learn­ing how to cre­ate and use sta­tis­ti­cal tools like con­trol charts, Pare­to charts, and scat­ter plots.

The Toy­ota Kata frame­work turns sci­en­tif­ic think­ing into a prac­ti­cal skill any­one, and any orga­ni­za­tion, can learn through the delib­er­ate prac­tice of a four step learn­ing and dis­cov­ery process.

Prac­tic­ing Agile involves iden­ti­fy­ing cus­tomer needs and devel­op­ing solu­tions through col­lab­o­ra­tive efforts by cross-func­tion­al teams. Orig­i­nat­ing in soft­ware devel­op­ment, Agile is now wide­ly-rec­og­nized as an effec­tive approach to project man­age­ment of all kinds. The ben­e­fits of incor­po­rat­ing Agile into your man­age­ment sys­tem include a more in-depth under­stand­ing of your work­flow, the abil­i­ty to respond and adapt to change quick­ly, and an over­all inten­si­fied focus on deliv­er­ing val­ue to your cus­tomers. In these cours­es you’ll learn the foun­da­tion­al prin­ci­ples of Agile, the pos­i­tive effect it can have on your process­es, and how to deploy it with­in your organization.
