Course Description

Transforming an organization from traditional thinking to Lean thinking requires leadership. This is the core focus of this course. While the previous modules focus on strategic and tactical implementation of the lean supply chain, this final model "builds" the individual into a Lean leader. This is critical in order to navigate through the waters of change management required to successfully execute and sustain the Lean supply chain journey.

In this course, students will complete a deep dive of the House of Lean and explore the main aspects of lean leadership. Among other important topics, students will learn "go see" management, A3 thinking and leader as teacher concepts
