The interactive Kanban Pizza Game demonstrates how a Kanban System works. While common Kanban games usually focus only on the flow of an existing Kanban system, our new Kanban Pizza Game goes beyond that, demonstrating the path from an existing process to Kanban. Learning by doing and having fun at the same time - that‘s what our Kanban Pizza Game is all about.

Over the 16 years that we've been providing support to organizations at nearly every stage of the Lean journey, leadership has consistently emerged as the single most important determinant of success. Those organizations with deep leadership engagement soar, while those who don't fail to experience significant transformation.
In this first of three webinars, Karen shares the perspective and content that she and her team use when working with executives and senior leadership teams within the firm's clients.
She review the system of Lean principles, management practices, and tools, and then focuses on 6 of the topics leaders most commonly misunderstand or are unaware of:
1. Three of the core values that underlie Lean management
2. Key performance indicators
3. Visual management
4. Work standardization
5. Go and see (Gemba) management
6. The one environmental "don't" that destroys all Lean effort

This is material from a webinar regarding the problem with tools-centric approaches to Lean transformation, and where the opportunities lie for a more successful journey.
Over the past two years we've begun to learn more deeply about what REALLY makes the Toyota Production System tick. We've learned that, while tools are necessary, they are not sufficient for creating a Lean enterprise. Leadership, culture, and problem-solving proficiency are common missing links that slow organizational transformation, creating the need to build new skills.
The current definition of Business Agility is as nebulous as DevOps was only a few years ago. Some schools of thought focus on different parts of the business employing agile techniques. While an important step, it proves insufficient to allow the overall business to achieve true agility.
In this session, we will explore the emerging thinking on what is Business Agility and provide concrete examples of organizations who have taken steps to successfully achieve it.
Learning Objectives:
*Define Enterprise Business Agility in a holistic fashion
*Articulate real-world examples of Business Agility
*Begin to implement aspects of Business Agility within your organization

In this webinar, you'll learn the specific steps (many of which are often forgotten) that must be taken to successfully use the PDSA cycle to solve problems, and design new processes and products.

Embedding Employee Engagement throughout the Employee LifecycleElizabeth Lupfer
I recently presented at Ragan Communications conference on how communications can effect employee engagement. My presentation was a 2-hour workshop on how communications plays a key role in helping the organization shift to today's new work environment and how employee engagement initiatives can be more thoughtfully and strategically embedded throughout the organization by using the employee lifecycle as a framework. This also demonstrates four key principles for consistently applying employee engagement: adaptability, relevancy, sustainability and execution.
To successfully react to windows of opportunity, regardless of the focus — innovation, growth, culture, cost structure, technology — a new methodology of change leadership is required.

What really keeps performance from slipping back? Mike Rother of the University of Michigan, and Jeff Uitenbroek from Modine Manufacturing Company suggest that the “wedge” of standardization that we’re taught will keep improvement from rolling back is a mistaken idea.
They suggest that a standard is more like a target condition, and that the only way to maintain gains is to keep improvement moving forward.
This is an issue Jeff and Mike feel the Lean community should now be talking about, and the AME LinkedIn group has first crack at discussing it. Comment here or go to LinkedIn groups and search for Association for Manufacturing Excellence.
What should a people-centric culture look like? George Saiz, current president and CEO of AME, shares insights on how you can approach that and gives examples of how employees have responded, including the development of a six pillar process to encompass the creation and sustaining of a people-centric culture. Hear how to equip your engaged employees with the tools of lean to achieve outstanding business results with examples of building A3 thinking into the DNA of the organization.
Theory from managerial accounting that relates to just-in-time (JIT) inventory (where a company only receives goods as they are needed to cut down on inventory costs) and production management. The idea behind DRIFT is that management wants all of the processes that make up the JIT philosophy to be done correctly and efficiently so there are no delays in the production process.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

The future of lean manufacturing is very bright due to the non-stop rising of
inflation rates. As we know lean aims at cutting the cost of waste so in this
competitive world the organisation that can cut down the waste cost will be the
most feasible among all so businesses would be running after it.
As a result of lean, shortcomings are sought out at the very first step before
moving to the next stage and efficiency is maintained at every stage. In addition,
lean manufacturing helps to keep everything in order, which will help to find the
right tool for the appropriate situations, economies of scale and leading to fast
functioning of operations.
This course will help manufacturers achieve the successful lean manufacturing
strategy through some of the main approaches of lean manufacturing like
Kaizen, Just-in-Time, Total Quality Management (TQM) and Six Sigma to achieve
optimum level goals. Gain tangible benefits from lean manufacturing techniques
to eliminate downtime, long batch times and excessive energy consumption for
greater cost savings.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
• Providing the customer with maximum satisfaction, as well as, creating a
process with minimal waste in design, assembly, and sustainability
• Implementing unique lean methods and applications that are necessary in
mixed model plants
• Developing a future state map of lean systems to measure quantifiable
benefits of implementing lean manufacturing
• Fostering the leadership techniques necessary to actively drive change and
lean initiatives
• Creating tangible and sustainable benefits from your know-how of efficient
procedures
• Exploring the importance of value stream identification and mapping to
increase efficiency in your plant
• Adapting specific tools for high-mix, low-volume to improve your operation
at a quicker pace
• Implementing different planning and management techniques depending
on your production type and volume
• Learning to value stream map the current state of product flow and
continuous flow through manufacturing cells
