Lean Sigma Training and Shop Floor Kaizen Events

Productivity's Lean Sigma training has been called the best in the business and for good reason. Our Lean Sigma trainings are more than just awareness. They are designed to ensure a transfer of learning allowing your employees to immediately use the knowledge gained from the training to get results. Our courses break down into three categories:

1. Process Improvement Training Courses

2. Equipment Reliability Training Courses

Often we find that organizations implementing a Lean production improvement program have neglected to place strong enough emphasis on their equipment. A recent study of Six Sigma projects found that equipment reliability issues were the root cause of between 60-80% of the problems studied. This supports the fact that equipment reliability plays an integral part in the success of your overall improvement efforts. Productivity offers a number of courses designed to help you achieve total equipment reliability:

• The Fundamentals of TPM

3. Leadership and Culture Training Courses

Although some cultural change may evolve as Lean implementation takes place, the challenge comes in creating, building and sustaining a company-wide improvement environment, a true Lean culture. That means getting everyone in the organization to live and think Lean every day; to actively support and buy into Lean concepts and philosophy; and to be in a constant search for ways to improve processes and provide increased value for customers. Productivity's Leadership and Culture training courses can help ensure your culture evolves into a Lean culture:

• Empowering your Workforce
  
• Establishing and Managing a Culture of Improvement
  
• Lean Facilitator Training
  
• Lean Leadership
  
• Team-based Problem Solving (CEDAC®)
