White Belt For Teams Présentiel

Lean Awareness – White Belt for Teams

1.Lean Management: History and Positioning

• Origins and evolution of Lean Management
• From the Toyota Production System to Lean Management
• Lean as a management philosophy, not just a toolbox
• Customer value, flow, waste reduction and continuous improvement
• The role of teams in Lean thinking

2. Serious Game – Improving a Cross-Functional Process

Participants experience a simulated cross-functional business process and progressively improve its flow and efficiency.

Round 1 – Define the Problem and Improvement Objective

Understand the current situation, identify the main performance issue and agree on a shared improvement objective.

Round 2 – Free Improvement

Teams improve the process using their own ideas, experience and intuition. Performance is measured and compared with Round 1.

Round 3 – Lean-Assisted Improvement

Teams discover and apply simple Lean principles to improve the process: identifying waste, simplifying activities, improving flow, reducing waiting and unnecessary handovers, and working more effectively as a team.

3. Debriefing and Perspectives

The three rounds are compared to highlight what changed and why. Participants identify the key Lean principles experienced during the game and discuss how they could be applied to their own work environment.
