Tuesday – Thursday, June 20 – 22
10:00 am – 12:00 pm
This six-hour online course will challenge your ideas about how you think about and evaluate the work you do. Our Lean Master certified instructor, Brion Hurley, is Principal Lean Consultant at Rockwell Collins. He will introduce the history of Lean concepts, derived from the Toyota Production System, and explain how and why they have come full-circle back to the United States. Results of Lean initiatives have led to increased customer and stakeholder satisfaction, reduced costs, reduced risks, increased sales, and more flexible and agile organizations. Examples of lean successes can be found within city and state agencies, utilities, nonprofits, law firms, military, public schools, startup companies, movie studios and even farming!
After completing this course, attendees will be able to explain the core principles of Lean, identify waste in their processes, and become familiar with tools and techniques that can help reduce or eliminate the waste in the processes where they work and volunteer. This workshop is hosted by WoodwardBizMedia, a business-to-business publishing company that publishes titles such as Sustainable City Network magazine and Energy-Tech magazine; and the Northwest Environmental Training Center (NWETC), which delivers tailored courses on current policy, standards, technology and regulations for environmental professionals.
