Introducing the New APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series

The most successful individuals and organizations map out their goals to ensure they are achieved. When organizations decide to go lean, they need a skilled team to lead them. Build your skills and become a lean leader at your organization with the new APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series.

One of the newer course offerings by APICS chapters. This course will be offered periodically depending on demand.

As more organizations decide to go lean, demand is escalating for a skilled team and systemwide approach for developing and implementing lean project plans. This course is designed to equip you with the broad knowledge and tools to map the transformation for developing a lean culture at your organization.

This workshop will allow you to:

  • Complete a self-assessment to determine your organization's readiness to implement lean
  • Gain practical experience analyzing how to incorporate lean into organizations
  • Leave with a project plan for implementing lean into your organization

The APICS Lean Enterprise Workshop Series is organized to enable you to approach and understand the lean transformation process systematically. Using scenarios from a fictitious company, Murphy's Toys, you will be tasked with finding lean solutions to a myriad of challenges. This method will provide you with the flexibility to immediately customize what you've learned and implement it at your own organization.

There are seven workshops in the series:
Introduction
