What are the core topic areas I should cover when training a team leader in Lean?

Core topics typically include Lean manufacturing principles, defining value versus non-value-adding activities, operational waste types, change management, performance measurement, stakeholder engagement, and project execution. Flevy's Lean Leader GB Series 1 organizes these into slides such as Operational Waste (page 15) and Change Management Model (page 25).

How do I run a practical Waste Hunt activity on the shop floor?

A Waste Hunt involves small groups observing processes to identify defects, waiting, overproduction, and other wastes, then reporting findings and prioritizing improvements using a worksheet. The product outlines a 90-minute Waste Identification Activity and provides a Waste Hunt Worksheet for documentation.

Which templates are most useful for planning and tracking Lean improvement projects?

Templates that support planning and tracking include a Lean Project Plan for documenting initiatives, a Gantt Chart for scheduling and tracking tasks, Improvement Opportunity Worksheets for prioritization, and KPI templates for monitoring outcomes, such as the Lean Project Plan template included in the module.

How should I measure progress and outcomes from a Lean leader training program?

Progress is measured through participant engagement in activities, completion of workplace project plans, and establishment of measurable KPIs tracked via visual management tools. The training emphasizes KPI definition and monitoring and supplies KPI templates and Visual Management System examples.

What should I look for when selecting a Lean leader training deck for my supervisors?

Prioritize materials targeted at team leaders/supervisors, inclusion of practical tools and templates (project plans, KPI tracking, waste identification), a workshop agenda for facilitation, and instructor credentials. The Lean Leader GB Series 1 is a 116-slide module developed for supervisors and team leaders.

How customizable are Lean training materials for company-specific needs?

Materials can be customized by tailoring the project plan template to local processes, adjusting KPI metrics to industry standards, and incorporating company terminology and culture into exercises and slides, for example by modifying the provided project plan template.

How long should a Lean Leader training program be scheduled?

The training is structured across multiple sessions and typically spans several weeks, with individual workshop components such as a 60-minute introduction, a 90-minute waste hunt, and a 120-minute project planning session outlined in the module.

What role does stakeholder engagement play in implementing Lean changes?

Stakeholder engagement is used to secure buy-in, address concerns, and support implementation; the module provides strategies for identifying and managing stakeholders and includes a dedicated Stakeholder Engagement Strategies slide to guide facilitation.
