<p class=MsoNormal>To help you further your organization’s green
initiatives, the OU Lean Institute is initiating a new Lean and Green training
program that will be holding its first session in Spring 2010. This
program adapts the tools of Lean Manufacturing (particularly value stream
mapping) for environmental conservation. It presents a set of basic tools
that can be applied to the issues in any organization, from government agency
to manufacturing: energy/water conservation, garbage reduction, the elimination
of transportation waste, reduction in emissions, etc.. And, it does this
in ways that are actually profitable! This is a three-day training
program, with training spread out over 4-6 weeks as participants complete a
real-world project in their organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For those of you unfamiliar with Lean Manufacturing, Lean
approaches organizational processes from the perspective of eliminating
“waste”, with waste being anything more than the minimum time,
materials, or other resources necessary to perform the task at hand. This
perspective on waste makes it a tool that is ideal for conservation efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are interested in being kept informed as this program
moves forward, or would be interested in setting up a Lean and Green training
session specifically for your organization, please contact the Lean Institute
at the information below. Please note that pricing for the course is not
yet available as we are still working out the details of a training grant, but
we hope to offer this course at very low cost.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please contact our office if you are interested in this
program, and forward this email to anyone else who might have an interest in
it. A flier for the program is attached.<o:p></o:p></p>
