"[This program] gave me a structure with which to examine my own business and improve it, using the tools we learned about in the case studies."

Generate a sustainable advantage in cost, quality, speed, and customer service to achieve world-class performance. Using real-world case studies, group workshops, and animated computer simulation models, you explore a framework for diagnosing, improving, and designing effective production systems and for identifying leverage points with the greatest impact on the bottom line.
This framework includes the Business Process Flow Paradigm which examines an organization as a collection of business flows with a critical link between operational drivers and strategic success; and the science of Factory Physics–a set of "laws" representing the core science of lean manufacturing–which describe the underlying operations behavior of manufacturing systems, including the fundamental relationships between performance measures such as throughput, work-in-progress, manufacturing cycle time, and process variability. Taken together, these tools provide a firm scientific foundation for the practice of lean manufacturing.
