Benefits To Be Gained
As more organizations decide to go lean, demand is escalating for a skilled team and system wide
approach for developing and implementing lean project plans. This course is designed to equip you

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.

implement it at your own organization.
