Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) October 13, 2008 -- Lean practitioners are powerful change agents who drive fast, effective organizational improvements. Individuals with the skills in Lean principles are increasingly valuable in today's marketplace. Breakthrough Management Group International (BMGI) in conjunction with BMG University is pleased to announce its two new Lean Training Courses -How to Run a Kaizen Event and Value Stream Mapping (VSM).
How to Run a Kaizen Event offers an environment designed to help transform Lean knowledge into skill -- without the added pressure of on-the-job expectations. The 3-day workshop leverages a compressed timeframe to give attendees a taste of what actually occurs before, during and after a Lean Kaizen Event and offers a unique opportunity to take the understanding of Lean concepts to an actionable level.
This workshop covers:
| | - A quick and effective way to understand how to apply basic Lean tools, resulting in less time spent learning on the job.
- Extensive hands-on application of basic Lean tools to improve a common business process.
- Pre-course eLearning modules that refresh knowledge on key Lean concepts and tools including the eight wastes, Value Stream Mapping, Swimlane Mapping and Standard Work.
- BMGI's SCORE™ (Select, Clarify, Organize, Run and Evaluate) methodology, a highly-successful approach to planning, executing and evaluating Kaizen events.

Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a requirement for every Lean practitioner. When practitioners learn this relevant skill, they can pinpoint where and to what degree waste occurs in any process.

This 3-day course provides attendees with the experience needed to apply this core tool, and gives their organization a systematic and efficient method for identifying improvement projects.
This Value Stream Mapping (VSM) course offers several benefits to participants, including:
| | - An activity-based learning environment featuring two VSM simulations, as well as the opportunity to create a VSM on a process of the attendees choosing.
- A focus on end-to-end value stream assessment for project identification, prioritization and chartering.
- Pre-course eLearning modules that cover key concepts such as Waste, Value and VSM basics.
