Every organization has them: problems that keep coming back. The same malfunction, the same complaint, the same discussion in meetings. Not because people aren’t doing their best, but because the approach stops at the symptom. The machine is running again, the customer has been appeased, the meeting is over. And three weeks later, the problem is back on the agenda. Solving structural problems starts with using the right method for the right type of problem.

The workshop lasts two days and is available exclusively as an in-house training session for groups of at least six and no more than eight participants. This limit is not arbitrary: with more than eight participants, it is no longer possible to provide everyone with sufficient guidance in applying the methods to their own challenges.
Day 0: On-site Preparation
Priorto the two training days, LMI trainers visit the workplace (Gemba). This visit has a specific purpose: to understand how day-to-day management currently operates, what issues are currently at play, and how the board meetings are structured. Based on these observations, the program is refined, and real-world examples from your organization are incorporated into the training. This ensures that Day 1 is immediately relevant.
The morning is dedicated to the methods: PDCA, 4C, and the basics of Root Cause Analysis using the 5 Whys technique. The afternoon moves to the shop floor, where participants apply the methods directly to current problems. The day also begins with optimizing existing whiteboard discussions, so that the daily performance dialogue serves as a starting point for identifying and addressing problems.
On Day 2 of the workshop, we will dive deeper into advanced techniques for solving more complex problems, complemented by essential skills that are indispensable here. We will work intensively with the Problem Solving A3 method, a powerful tool for structured problem analysis and problem solving.
Within the Problem Solving A3 we include:

Lean is the methodology for radically improving processes. The ultimate goal is to serve customers optimally with minimum effort and cost. Think about it: if you yourself are a customer, don't you also expect the best possible service, whether at the hospital, the supermarket, or when ordering online?
With Lean , we analyze how to get your service or product to the customer as smartly, quickly and efficiently as possible. It's about eliminating any waste and continuously adding value.
When we talk about Lean , we refer to powerful Lean principles, proven methods and practical techniques that enable you and your team to demonstrably improve your processes - and thus your daily work.
A lot! The beauty of Lean is that you can start applying it both very big and very small. Obviously, the answer to this question depends on your personal situation, but we try to give you some guidance in this article (at the bottom of the article).
