Participants will be able to:

    build and manage a lean production
    system
  • Develop empowered teams and team members
  • Manage change in a  dynamic system
  • Utilize collaborative and continuous learning approaches to problem solving and decision making
  • Design a team member selection and development process
This course demonstrates how management skills for supervisors, group leaders, and team leaders within a lean production system, are applicable to hospitals, research centers, and offices. Through a series of self-guided exercises, discussions, and system simulation, participants learn how to build stability into their organizations. In this challenging workshop, participants build teams to solve the problems encountered in the simulation; build their own vision statements; explore what motivates them and their willingness to change; and develop strategies for applying what they learn when they return to their workplace.
