Metrics in a Lean Environment

What You Can Expect From This Seminar

Many traditional performance metrics are obsolete in a lean enterprise, relying on flow technology, flexible and integrated systems, shared management, and information at the point of use. This seminar not only teaches you the science of developing lean metrics that deal with the cultural change in an organization. You’ll learn how to ask the right questions, and determine precisely what information and measures are needed to support the lean triad: supply chain, people/processes, and the customer. Do you need action triggers? Monitoring mechanisms? Performance mechanisms? Decision facilitating displays? This hands-on workshop lets you work in teams to develop lean metrics for review and critique by other teams and the seminar leader. You’ll leave with the skills needed to revamp your own measurement systems so you can break away from outdated financial measurements and move your company to a higher level of performance and excellence.

-Anthony Mangione, Seminar Leader
