Overview of Process Improvement Course
This Process Improvement Course aims to minimize waste by examining fundamental principles and tools necessary for optimizing operations. It starts with an overview that explains the aims of the course and the importance of reducing waste. Attendees will explore the basics of waste and develop the skills to recognize and classify the eight main types of waste found in processes.
Important ideas involve distinguishing between value-added (VA) and non-value-added (NVA) tasks, and utilizing process mapping tools to visually depict and assess workflows. A detailed case study demonstrates practical applications, enabling learners to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.
