Creating a Lean Management System (1.5-Day)

Is your organization struggling to sustain improvement gained through the application of lean principles? Are you facing challenges to implementing daily improvement and aligning work to strategic goals?

Managing a lean organization requires a different type of leadership and a shift from management-by-objectives to management-by-process.   At ThedaCare, this Creating a Lean Management System management system, comprised of specifically designed tools and processes,  is called the Business Performance System.  Applying the principles of lean, this system enables the adoption of management by process, regulates the flow of information from the front lines to senior leaders and back, fosters engagement of all employees in process improvement, and allows for daily coaching and teaching.  During this day and half-long session learn about the journey to develop the Business Performance System, obtain an in-depth overview of the purpose of each element, and visit ThedaCare to observe the system firsthand.

Following this session, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the purpose behind each of the 10 ten interconnected components of a lean management system.
  • Describe how to cascade information effectively throughout the organization.
  • Identify how to create and sustain a system of continuous improvement aligned with strategic goals.
  • Discuss how employee coaching and mentoring can occur on a daily basis.
  • Build standard work for executives in gemba to support daily continuous improvement.
