This one-day online workshop (delivered on 2 successive mornings) covers the basics of Lean and Activity-Based Planning (ABP) and how they can be merged into a comprehensive approach for business modeling, resource management and process improvement. Following the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach, combining Lean and ABP offer a means to:
- Define – understand the problem(s) within the processes and conduct a strategic and operational assessment to determine the best opportunities for business process improvements and utilize a proven methodology to tackle them
- Measure – recognize non-value-added activities within a process and how to collect and validate operational, financial, and performance data to model current and future state processes
- Analyze – evaluate model results and explore operational and financial relationship to help recognize root causes for waste (non-value-added work) and other process problems
- Improve – identify process improvement ideas and test/evaluate potential solutions to assess the impact on throughput, quality, resources, costs and profitability
- Control – develop strategies to sustain a Lean-ABP program and move towards a continuous improvement culture through understanding leading performance and quality indicators
