Process Mapping and IMprovement
Seminar Overview
This fast-paced 2-day seminar is designed to help staff, departments and organizations get a handle on their work flow. Quarterly accounting cycles, payroll, manufacturing, employee hiring and indoctrination, annual budgeting, marketing programs, trade shows, materials production, strategic planning, and many other organization-critical activities fall into the category of process work.
Muda (the Japanese word for uselessness) is a term given to work, effort, and money spent which produces little or no benefit. This seminar targets process work, examines where inefficiencies and muda exist, and fine-tunes the process to create a Muda-Free Zone.
Learn how to evaluate current operations, review product hand-offs, determine the value of work to the organization and streamline your workflow. Also learn how to create internal SOPs (standard operating procedures).
