Overview
In this workshop, participants will gain insights into how the Lean principles of value, flow, waste elimination and workforce engagement are applied in a service environment.  The workshop uses a simulation to involve participants in a process that highlights many of the wastes commonly found in service processes.  Participants are challenged to improve this process and another round of the simulation is run using these improvements.  This is followed by a demonstration of how Lean thinking and tools can be applied to further improve the process.  The workshop expands on these concepts and shows how value stream mapping is an effective approach to plan and implement changes in an end to end process.  There is also group discussion on effective ways of involving people in the process and implementing improvements in a compressed timeframe.
