"ABP for Enhancing Lean" Training

This 1.5-day “White Belt” certification workshop, developed and delivered by Barrington OPS and Landmark Decisions, covers the fundamentals of Activity-Based Planning (ABP) and Lean and how they can be merged into a comprehensive approach for business modeling, resource management and process improvement. 

Following the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach, participants will learn how to:

• Define – understand the problem(s) within the processes and conduct a strategic and operational assessment to determine the best opportunities for business process improvements and utilize a proven methodology to tackle them
• Measure – recognize non-value-added activities within a process and how to collect and validate operational, financial, and performance data to model current and future state processes
• Analyze – evaluate model results and explore operational and financial relationship to help recognize root causes for waste (non-value-added work) and other process problems
• Improve – identify process improvement ideas and test/evaluate potential solutions to assess the impact on throughput, quality, resources, costs and profitability
• Control – develop strategies to sustain a Lean-ABP program and move towards a continuous improvement culture through understanding leading performance and quality indicators
