Lean MRO and the Visual Workplace
Course Description
A visual workplace provides the foundation on which to build a Lean MRO enterprise focused on eliminating waste, creating flow, and decreasing variation. Deploying visual mechanisms to facilitate the elimination of the seven forms of waste creates capacity to support Lean as a growth strategy. Visual methods such as visual standard work reduce process variation. By institutionalizing the principles of Lean as part of a comprehensive visual workplace initiative, the tenets of Lean and TOC can be sustained.
