SUMMARY:Lean for Leadership (Process Improvement)
DESCRIPTION:Registration required. MUST have a verifiable address in the Coastal Bend region. \n Register Here!  \nThis one day workshop teaches participants how to deploy both the improvement and coaching Kata within an organization. The workshop provides a treatment of the Toyota Kata’s theoretical framework as well as its practical application. \nThe theoretical rationale for the Toyota Kata includes a preference for the use of the scientific method\, the use of deliberate practice in the development or transitioning of mental models\, and the deployment of organizational continuous improvement. \nThe practical application includes how data is collected for determining the current condition (diagramming\, process characteristics\, process metrics\, and outcome metrics)\, and the development of a target condition. Workshop content also includes determining obstacles and the cycling of PDCA (plan\, do check\, act) experiments. \nThe workshop is not a simulation of any business process but is rather a demonstration of how the Toyota Kata applies to confronting challenging situations\, including continuous improvement.

Hands-on exercises utilizing the TEEX Heavy Equipment Field provide students with operational skills development designed to ensure proper use of the equipment. \nUnder Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines\, participants will gain knowledge\, skills\, and abilities necessary to properly operate a forklift. In addition to safety best practices\, participants receive hands-on opportunities to ensure understanding of equipment specific stability requirements\, fork adjustment protocols\, fueling procedures and other usage issues. \nNote: Please wear closed-toe shoes. We will provide a hard hat and safety vest for use during equipment operation. \n \n
