BOEING PRODUCTION SYSTEM ACADEMY<br />
a.k.a. <strong>Lean</strong> Academy<br />
• OBJECTIVES: Create a cohesive, uniformly trained team centered on on<br />
an identified<br />
Value Stream based on:<br />
• o A common understanding of <strong>Lean</strong> principles<br />
• o Integrating <strong>Lean</strong> strategies into a system easily understood at every level.<br />
• o One plan for improvement<br />
• o Top management involvement<br />
• DIFFERENCE: <strong>The</strong> Academy:<br />
• § Integrates a Value Stream TEAM in BPS training and implementation<br />
implementation<br />
• § Includes Managers<br />
• § Uses powerful simulations<br />
• § Uses graduates (and ONLY graduates) as instructors and facilitators facilitators<br />
• § Gives you an implementation plan for your Value Stream Future State<br />
• § Promotes and enables linkage of <strong>Lean</strong> activities<br />
• § Culminates in a Value Stream Mapping exercise that will point to where and to<br />
what kind of <strong>Lean</strong> activity to conduct.<br />
• Excess inventory<br />
