What is the PRISM Lean Sigma Improvement Experience?
The PRISM Lean Sigma Improvement Experience is a training
workshop that will teach attendees how the Principles and
Methods applied in such Exemplary Organisations as Toyota,
Scania and Tesco can be made to work for you. The core programme
of the PRISM Improvement Experience has been adapted and enhanced
to emphasise the approach and methods of Lean Thinking. The
principles of the generic course remain unchanged as they
are both based firmly on the principles of the Deming Philosophy.
What is Lean Systems Thinking?
Lean Systems Thinking is a pragmatic approach for improving
the performance of any process or product. It places great
emphasis on:
- Thinking in terms of systems, looking at performance from
the perspective of customers, the value they gain from the
products and service they receive
- Avoidance of all forms of waste in the end-to-end process
of creating value for customers
- Using data to establish and remove root causes rather
than "treat" symptoms
- A healthier approach to measurement and analysis. This
requires a new understanding of the variation in all performance
and management data, and a new approach to improvement based
on the attentive use of simple statistical methods, primarily
Process Behaviour Charts
- Building a process of learning across the whole organisation,
including customers and suppliers, based on informed use
of the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle
- Understanding that, in large part, the way people behave
at work is driven by the way management design the system
of work
- Seeing the interdependence and interaction between all
of the above, and developing a new approach to leadership
to make it all happen
