Two-day course
Recognizing that all work within the organizational structure is by definition a process, cycle time management-often referred to as reengineering-provides the framework to reassess each process step to determine its value in satisfying the customer. This course uses mapping techniques inherent within process and cycle time management methodologies to assist participants to uncover their baseline of present-day business operations, and the cycle time, effectiveness, and degree of waste of those processes. The result is typically a 40-50 percent reduction in waste and cycle time.
