About the Course
Contrary to most improvement philosophies, Dynamic Work Design is as effective in highly creative, unique work as it is in routine, high volume work, at the front line and in the executive suite. These techniques have proven successful in every industry and at every scale; many times delivering huge results with little to no investment and in short periods of time.
Dynamic Work Design is concerned with the creation and distribution of products and services to satisfy the customers. Clearly, this is the key for the existence of any organization. Fundamentally, the course is all about management of business processes defined as a group of activities that create value for customers i.e., to provide the right products of the right quality at the right time at the right cost for the right customer.
Learning Objectives
- The key principles and practices of Dynamic Work Design and the theoretical basis in relation to Lean, 6-Sigma and other popular improvement methodologies
- To provide organizations with an opportunity to identify, analyze, and resolve typical problems which arise in managing operations and the supply chain
- To learn about visual management techniques
