Lean and Continuous Performance Improvement
Just as the human body must be physically fit and resilient enough to effectively meet the demands of modern life, organizations of all types must operate as efficiently as possible in order to thrive and prosper.
I originally started my journey into the Lean world because I realized that some of the wellness changes that my worksite wellness clients needed to make were organizational in nature such as policy development and environmental supports. This naturally evolved into helping them streamline other areas of their business in order to provide better value for their customers and distinguish themselves from their competitors. As a Lean Black Belt practitioner, I consult with and offer training to organizations to help them improve their processes, reduce waste, and deliver greater value for their customer.
Lean evolved from the manufacturing methodology developed over the past seven decades at Toyota Motor Corporation. In the last several years however, the underlying philosophy of improvement has spread from manufacturing to other economic sectors including service, government and healthcare, among others.
Waste, from a Lean perspective, is any activity in any process that doesn't produce value for the customer. One of the founding fathers of Lean Thinking was Taiichi Ohno. He defined several categories of waste. I can help you identify and reduce wasteful practices to help give your organization a stronger competitive advantage.
