<p class=MsoNormal><b>OU Lean Institute Lean and Green Program<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Are you interested in learning how Lean process
improvement techniques can support environmental conservation efforts this
summer?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The OU Lean Institute will be offering two public sessions
of its exciting new Lean and Green certification program during summer 2010,
adapting tools from Lean process improvement to reduce environmental
waste. Through Lean and Green, participants re-learn the concept of waste,
and learn to see the environmental waste in processes all around them, learning
how to reduce energy use, eliminate the production of garbage, and redesign
processes to recapture wasted materials that would otherwise go to
landfill. This course emphasizes exercises in the field, small group
interaction and a comprehensive hands-on project in order to gain the
distinction of Lean and Green Certification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Who Should Attend:</b> This curriculum is
applicable to students from all fields and industries, with diverse technical,
operational and/or transactional backgrounds. No prior Lean experience is
necessary to be successful in this training, although experience with Lean is a
plus, and those who are passionate about conservation will find this to be an
excellent tool to get to the root causes of waste in operations. Natural
candidates to become Lean and Green certified are people whose current
positions are routinely associated with or directed at problem solving.
Individuals identified for this intense training should be those who will be
expected to continue participating in improvement efforts after the completion
of training.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Objective:</b> The workshop includes intensive
training and hands-on exercises that will train each participant how to
identify environmental waste and lead process improvement strategies
effectively. Along with classroom training, participants will work
closely with the instructor as a coach in preparing projects for
delivery. Each student must demonstrate, under the coaching of a Lean
Institute instructor, the ability to implement process improvement using Lean
methodologies. Upon successful completion of the project, the participant will
become Lean and Green certified. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Topics:</b> This workshop presents strategies for
adapting Lean tools specifically to environmental issues. Each Lean and
Green certificate holder will be able to:<o:p></o:p></p>
