"Las Vegas Lean"™ Seminar/Workshop - Detailed Course Description 

]

     A backstage pass to Lean Enterprise Business Intelligence

Prerequisites for attending:
None. This Workshop is a paradigm buster. It is like nothing that has been offered in the last 15 years regarding Lean Manufacturing. It is intended to get the participants to look at Lean Manufacturing aligned with Business Intelligence strategies. Before attending the workshop we suggest you go out and just take a good look at your operations and what you know about their current performance and hold those thoughts until the fun begins in the workshop.

Workshop Description:
It’s about learning to see KPI performance in time to do something constructive about it using Lean principles. These concepts apply everywhere. From Return on Investment at the Shareholder level, all the way down to performance to Takt time at a particular machine or assembly operation, and everything in between, Lean Business Intelligence (LBI) principles apply. Supply Chain, Manufacturing Operations, Administrative and Technical processes can all take advantage of these Lean tools. In every business there could be as many as a thousand KPIs that need to be under control and within tolerance at all times to generate and grow profits, produce quality products, ship on time and keep customers delighted. Las Vegas Lean techniques will show you how to accomplish these goals.

There are Lean BI techniques and tools being used in Las Vegas operations that maintain a watchful eye on all the KPIs simultaneously, across multiple properties, multiple machines, multiple labor grades, varied products and disciplines.

The executive, middle management, analysts/engineers and front line supervisors can see what each of their key metrics are doing at any time, across any time period and across any subset of KPIs. Most importantly, they can see it sufficiently soon enough to do something about it, rather than wait until it is a historical footnote on a damaged operating statement. You'll see how they do this without wading through thousands of reports and/or spreadsheets.

This workshop demonstrates how the operators in Las Vegas have transformed their businesses to true, lean-flow, through Lean Business Intelligence and how they have dropped millions and millions of additional profit to their bottom lines. Harrah’s has acquired much of the gaming market as a result of their direct and forceful move into Las Vegas Lean practices. This workshop shows you how they did it and are doing it today.
