LEAN FOR SERVICE

Introduction

Lean has the ability to address a wide range of problems faced by service organisations, such as complexity reduction, sales force productivity enhancement, operations risk control, cost leadership, combining scale with flexibility, service excellence and improving employee morale and involvement. Service organisations worldwide are beginning to realise that only those organisations that are efficient and able to meet the changing needs of customers will survive the fierce competition of the marketplace. Adopting Lean puts anyone in a position more likely to build an intimate relationship with customers and build a foundation of operational excellence.

This 2-day Lean for Service training will provide participants with a clear understanding of the fundamental principles behind Lean in a service or transactional environment. Common Lean improvement tools and techniques will be identified and the class will discuss how best to apply these techniques from a Lean system perspective. Different types of waste will be defined from a Lean point of view and successful methods used to eliminate waste will be discussed. The course will also discuss other key factors within a service organisation necessary to sustain Lean. Exercises will be used to surface concepts and Lean applications during the course.
