Overview
This class provides practical strategies and techniques for enhancing lean results – such as waste elimination, quality improvement, and value creation for customers – while simultaneously achieving environmental performance goals. Participants will learn to identify hidden environmental wastes, which can often be significant and costly, as well as indicate inefficient production processes and opportunities for cost and time savings.
The course integrates both lean and environmental metrics into current and future state value stream maps, guiding participants in creating a clear roadmap for process improvement. Attendees, regardless of their environmental background, will develop the ability to recognize and address environmental wastes for the first time.
