The Lean Management II course is focused on the methodology of mapping, analyzing and streamlining value streams using VSM .
- Under the guidance of an experienced lecturer, participants apply the content mainly using exercises and examples from practice.
- Top lecturers with experience and experts in their field.
- High degree of satisfaction of course participants .
The form of course implementation is face-to-face or online (or both forms) .
The working methods used in the training programs are chosen in such a way as to ensure interactivity, adaptation of the content to the needs of the participants and a priority focus on the transfer of knowledge into practice .
- Learning how to identify and eliminate waste, reduce lead times, and create a smooth flow of value through the organization.
- How to gain a deep understanding of Lean principles, tools, and techniques to analyze and improve value stream processes.
- You will be capable of designing and leading value stream mapping projects, measuring performance, and implementing solutions for long-term success.

- Customers and their requirements, suppliers, processes.
- Process attributes, value stream communication.
- What data to focus on and how to collect it?
- How to choose the right ratio between detail and comprehensibility?
Identifying a lean metric
- How to choose a measurement method that will allow monitoring the process of improvement and elimination of losses?
- Compilation of a list of key metrics and specific customer goals.
- Identification of losses in the value stream. Process cycle time. Setting goals.
Mapping the future state
- Customer requirements. Continuous flow tools.
Creation and implementation of improvement plans
- Determination of tasks (road map).
- More precise specification of individual tasks and creation of an action plan.
Solving practical issues in Lean implementation and software support

- Indicators of problems and opportunities (KPI, company culture, errors and complaints, waste)
- Change is an opportunity, not a threat
Change – a reflection of the changes we have experienced

Research of a selected book on leadership
Possible assignments
- Preparation for motivational presentation of change
- Analysis of possible objections to the change
- Analysis of key players’ attitudes towards change
- A proposal for a proactive response to an emerging problem
- Analysis of the subordinate manager’s potential and development plan proposal
Seeing things as they are is good. Seeing things as they could be is very good. Making things better is great. Being able to get others excited about it means success.
For course participants, we offer the possibility of subsequent application support in the form of individual consultation with a lecturer or in the form of workshops directly at the client.
