Workshop on "Lean for Accelerated Business Growth" from BMG India

Mumbai, India, March 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The word “Lean” conjures up several images – Kaizen, JIT, 5S, Waste, Toyota, Manufacturing amongst others. For more than a decade now several organizations have implemented initiatives such 5S, small improvements (kaizen events), autonomous maintenance individually or in combination. They have reaped small and incremental improvements and have felt happy to announce the success of their so called “Lean Initiative”. Some companies have dared to go beyond and discover the true essence of Lean and have achieved breakthrough results. They have discovered that Lean is a philosophy; it is a roadmap and a methodology which uses several of the above tools to deliver results. As with most performance excellence initiatives, the early adopters have been from manufacturing. However, in the recent past several companies in the space of IT/ITeS, Retail, Telecom, Hospitality, Healthcare and others have tasted tremendous success by implementing Lean.

There are several questions that the practitioners have – Moving to the future state using Lean Principle and Tools requires implementation of several improvement events to occur. Is there any structured methodology that guides journey to future state? Is there a methodology that weaves the application of Lean Tools in a way that delivers best results? Is there a way to engage people and make it an organization wide movement and bring about culture change?

Often, there is not only confusion as to what a Kaizen is but also how to plan and conduct Kaizen events.

The SCORE™ Methodology answers these questions in an easy to follow format.

SCORETM provides the structure and methodology to deliver a more formalized approach to choosing, implementing and measuring the success of Lean projects. Its quick and lean and most importantly – delivers results.
