Lean

Lean is the approach of creating more value for customers with fewer resources by removing the waste in our processes.

We all have customers, they may be students, other staff or external stakeholders and through Lean we can ensure we know where the value lies for them in what we do and where we can therefore address areas of work that are not delivering value i.e. waste.

The SDU supports the implementation of Lean by providing training and direct consultancy enabling individuals and teams to go on to identify and tackle opportunities for process improvement.

Training for individuals on the principles behind Lean and how it can be applied can be booked here.

Consultancy using Lean can be provided to teams in order to facilitate and direct improvements on a range of topics including:

Establishing value streams
Process design
Identifying waste in existing processes
How to measure process performance
