SUMMARY:West North West Lean Network: Lean Sigma Lunchtime Webinar (Online) - Control Charts - Part II
DESCRIPTION:Part II – Control Chart Calculations\, Tuesday 9th April 2019 @ 12 Noon\nThis is a follow-on webinar from the first session held in March. Following that webinar\, there were a number of requests to host a more detailed session on how to select and draw a control chart with the Upper and Lower Control limits. This session will also be hosted by IT Sligo lecturer Brian Coll. \nIf you missed the first session on Deming’s famous red bead experiment\, please view the recording here. During the first session\, we simulated a process\, gathered data and used a control chart to identify the difference between common cause and special cause variation. Deming called variation the ‘enemy’ and reducing variation is a key goal of Lean Six Sigma initiatives. \nDeming’s famous “Red Bead Experiment” is a hands-on way to understand variation in a fun and practical way. The late W. Edwards Deming was an American statistician who contributed greatly to Japan’s leadership in implementing statistical quality control after World War II. \nBrian Coll is a lecturer on Ireland’s largest online Lean Six Sigma yellow\, green and black belt programmes delivered by IT Sligo. He is the recipient of a national teaching expert award in online learning and has kindly agreed to deliver a lecture to our West NorthWest Lean Network members. \nPlease share this event with your friends and work colleagues. \nhttps://wnwlean-network-2.eventbrite.ie \nThe WNW Lean Network is an industry led business network from the West & North West of Ireland linked with 3rd level Academic Institutions and Chambers of Commerce. Their Mission is to promote Lean methodologies across all sectors and to share ideas that foster competitiveness for success.

SUMMARY:Lean Immersion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is applicable to all personnel in a management or project management role within the organisation\, starting with the leadership team and key senior supervisors and specialists.  The workshop requires a minimum of 10 participants\, and we advise a maximum of 14 participants. \nLean thinking is an approach to employee management\, process management and workplace organisation that increases market share through superior customer satisfaction. At the same time costs are reduced as employees seek to continuously make shorter\, simpler and safer the processes that deliver value to customers. However\, identifying the practical steps that will bring about this change to voluntary continuous improvement is not always easy\, and sometimes counter-intuitive. This workshop introduces key lean concepts and provides simple and effective tips for increasing customer satisfaction whilst lowering costs.
