Eliminate Waste and Create Value in Your Organization

Successful operations from manufacturing operations to the office suite!

A Lean Enterprise is defined as "performance without waste." Many organizations waste 70%-90% of available resources through improper management of material, time, information, idle equipment, and inventory. Lean Enterprise principles offer tangible solutions for cutting this waste, resulting in improved quality, productivity and profitability. The fundamentals of lean enterprises focus on the identification and elimination of waste throughout the entire value stream, resulting in a more efficient and effective business environment. The UCSD program for Lean Enterprise teaches the fundamentals, techniques and follow-up skills necessary to achieve measurable results from the shop floor to the top floor.

 

Benefits

World Class performance results, obtained through the implementation of Lean principles can include dramatic improvements:

Business Process Transaction Cycle Time 50% to 90% reduction
Manufacturing Cycle Time 20% to 95% reduction
Inventory 40% to 80% reduction
Manufacturing Floor space/Office Area 30% to 60% reduction
Productivity 25% to 60% improvement
New Product Development Lead-time 20% to 50% improvement
Manufacturing/Operating Costs 15% to 25% reduction
Cost of Poor Quality 30% to 50% reduction

Program Goals

To introduce students to a comprehensive set of tools and techniques for implementing a lean enterprise. This course provides the information and experiences to develop skills and to gain knowledge in the following areas:

  • Provide an introduction to the tools and techniques of World Class Performance
  • Provide hands-on learning opportunities to experience the Lean tools and techniques
  • Provide a step-by-step roadmap model for successfully managing the implementation of World Class Performance
  • Each session is designed to apply directly to the participants' involvement in a workplace application project. Upon program completion, participants will have a complete framework for successful Lean deployment of their own organization.
