Do your problems not stay solved?

Do you spend half your time solving the same problems that you thought you fixed yesterday?

Do you spend your time solving problems that others should be solving?

You need Root Cause Analysis (RCA)!

The LeanSkills Root Case Intensive will explore a number of simple but powerful problwm solving techniques that lead to the problem staying solved.

But wait, there’s more! These techniques will hwlp you teach others to solve problems - freeing you to do what you should be doing.

And there’s still MORE! The intensive also looks at techniques not only to build the problem solving capacity of your team but to increase their willingness to do so.

5S is a tool to declutter, get organized, work more efficiently and stay that way. It is a simple tool that yields immediate and visible benefit and gains buy in from the team whether that be in the factory, the office or some other function.

5S has been the starting point for many organisations on the lean journey as it helps practice the basics of identifying waste, standardising work practices and making improvements - while achieving runs on the board. But you do need to do all 5 of them to ensure sustained improvements.

The LeanSkills program includes a ‘5S intensive’ which shows how to identify, plan, apply and continually improve your 5S projects. See the Seminar Program page for more information.

Value stream mapping (also called value chain mapping) is a powerful tool to allow you to identify all the steps in your process and determine how much value, and how much waste (muda) it is adding to your product.

Looking at the ’seven deadly wastes’ improves your capacity to deliver what your customer values and is prepared to pay for with less investment in things which the customer does not value. This allows you to trim price, increase margins or both!

The LeanSkills intensive will give you the skills to identify what really goes on and how much it is really costing.
