Overview
The Kanban System Design (KMP I Foundation) Certification Training introduces you to the Kanban methodology, a visual approach to improving workflow and process efficiency. This training equips participants with the knowledge to design and implement Kanban systems, optimize workflow, reduce bottlenecks, and promote continuous improvement within teams and organizations.
Objectives
By the end of this course, leaner will be able to:
- Understand the principles, practices, and benefits of the Kanban methodology.
- Learn to design Kanban systems and implement them using the STATIK method (Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban).
- Visualize workflows and identify opportunities for optimizing speed and quality.
- Master techniques for managing and reducing work-in-process (WIP) limits.
- Apply metrics, management reporting, and continuous improvement strategies to enhance team performance.
