Required Course of the Operational Excellence Certificate
The Operational Excellence Certificate (OEC) Program gives seminar attendees the knowledge to use a variety of process improvement tools, methods, and techniques. There is a particular emphasis on process mapping, lean tools, methods, and techniques, and rigorous problems solving involving all types of problems. Improvement activities run the gamut from easily implementable ideas through a “clean sheet” process redesign. In addition all of the classes use the “learn by doing” approach where attendees immediately use the tools, methods, and techniques on their own organizations. It is very common that the classes pay for themselves through improvements and cost savings.
The Operational Excellence Certificate is a learning path made up of four separate courses and when all four courses are completed in a 3-year timeframe we will award the Operational Excellence Certificate to the participant.
Required Courses:
Imagine improving your organization every day. What would it take for this to occur?
This course is about building a framework for continuous improvement in your organization. You will learn how to build a robust measurement system, apply rigorous problem-solving practices and maintain effective process controls. You will also strengthen the managerial skills and capabilities needed to create a culture of continuous improvement.
By working on your own organization you will construct a visual management system, problem-solve using the scientific method, and practice the leadership behaviours needed to sustain continuous improvement. You will leave with an action plan to create a metrics system, to solve problem scientifically and improve skills and competencies of all employees.
