Lean Black Belt Bridge Training
Target group
Employees from all business areas and functions, who have successfully obtained a recognized Lean Green Belt certification, strive for the Lean Black Belt qualification and build upon their skills to assess a company or organisation on their Lean implementation status.
What is Lean Management?
The main objective of Lean Management is to streamline manufacturing and service processes in order to deliver increased value to the customer and achieve competitive advantage. The analysis and differentiation of value creating and non-value creating (i.e. waste) process steps enables the reduction and elimination of waste that automatically results in slimmer and more effective processes.
Lean processes have a strong customer focus, short lead times, clear responsibilities and enable quick intervention in case of errors and deviations. Resources (machinery, equipment, staff) are used efficiently, production costs and lead times are reduced significantly, though flexibility has been increased. Lean Management also involves a cultural change, adapting leadership values and behaviour are important elements of successful lean implementation.
Lean improvement activities are applicable to all business processes of your company, e.g. from production processes to the support of production processes and to service processes.
