Utilizing
green practices to generate value, cut wastes, and avoid costs
This full-day, interactive workshop reveals the hidden and costly wastes
often overlooked in organizations. By using a real facility facing real
challenges, participants will gain hands on training in a simple and systematic
process for eliminating waste that can protect margins while increasing
profitability and competitiveness. By focusing on the reduction and avoidance of
costs, as seen through an interactive tour of KIK Corporation, this workshop
will provide basic tools to quickly realize both short-term and long-term
benefits that yield immediate savings while putting in place commonsense
structures to ensure future savings by moving towards
sustainability.
The
practical and hands-on design of this workshop is based on familiar Lean
Thinking to make previously ignored wastes visible by applying today’s valuable
environmental spot light. The step-by-step process used describes how to
identify, measure, and move toward the elimination of the 7 key environmental
wastes of Energy, Water, Materials, Garbage, Transportation, Emissions and
Biodiversity which consume significant resources in most companies and now must
be addressed.
