Improving Office Processes with A3 Thinking
Most lean initiatives in companies focus on the classic Seven Wastes. But what about the waste of time that regularly consumes so much of your day? What about the unproductive meetings that run long, the useless emails clogging your inbox that you have to read, the frustrating searches for information?
To the extent that we think about this kind of waste at all, we typically consider it as an unavoidable “cost of doing business.” But it’s not.
Join the Ohio State University’s Center for Operational Excellence and TimeBack Management for an eight-week course using the A3 process to solve this administrative problem. We’ll work together to define the real problems, find the root causes, and plan countermeasures.
You’ll benefit in two ways. First, you’ll reduce the enormous amount of time wasted each day. Second, you’ll gain experience with the A3s process – and with a problem that won’t require expensive or logistically difficult countermeasures.
COE has limited seating for the up-coming A3 Thinking Workshop.
