Process Management: Mapping and Improvement

Why Attend

A diagram is worth a million words. When it comes to process improvement, the art and science of process mapping are essential. This course aims to develop participants' process mapping skills by helping them understand the different process mapping approaches, from simple flow charts to value stream mapping. Various process assessments will be presented and discussed, including Toyota's famous Lean principles, which will be explained and used to help participants understand how to improve processes through mapping in service and manufacturing organizations.
