Organizations are continuously looking for ways to increase revenue, market share and yes, profit. One of the most fundamental ways organizations can improve performance is to adopt a relentless focus on the elimination of waste. In this course Jennifer Panco teaches about the most common types of wastes, known as the Eight Wastes. She also instructs how to identify the three conditions to be avoided—wastefulness, unevenness, and overburden. Eliminating waste is a powerful tool in performance improvement, creating a better workplace for employees and increasing value for customers. What you’ll learn:
1. What customers value
2. What waste looks like in organizations
3. The difference between value-adding activities and non-value adding activities
4. How to identify and eliminate waste and waste-generating conditions in your organization
