Lean Problem Solving

 The Lean Problem  Solving Module is one of the most important components of the Lean  Concepts Program. It consists of several sections dedicated towards  teaching standardized lean problem solving techniques designed to be  integrated throughout an entire organization. Since lean systems  primarily focus on identifying and eliminating waste, effective and  timely problem solving methods are the backbone of any implementation  program.  An initial discussion on how lean problem solving supports  other tools is followed by a review of the problem solving method  itself, a case study using sample document templates, and finally,  techniques on how to manage an organization-wide problem solving  program. The goal of this module is to assist practitioners in  developing sound lean problem solving skills. These skills will be  required In order to effectively implement the higher level tools found  in later modules.
