Do you realize that only 20% of total lead time results from manufacturing activities? This means that even with a “lean” shop floor atmosphere, a traditional functional office environment can serve as a bottleneck for responding to customers. This course will provide an understanding of the characteristics and benefits of a Lean office vs. a traditional office environment, and participants will learn how to categorize value added vs. non-value added activities in an office environment and learn ways to eliminate waste.
