Process Improvement Basics

Posted by Human Resources on March 28, 2018 in Human Resources

Under the Dalhousie Leadership Competency, Resource & Process Management, faculty and staff are expected to demonstrate these actions:

·         use resources efficiently and appropriately

·         seek process improvements

·         support process improvements and resource optimization

In this 23 minute video, Using Lean to Perfect Organizational Processes, you will be introduced to basic process improvement approaches. Included are four tools: 5S Process, Hoshin Kanri, Jidoka and Standard Work. These tools can assist in streamlining, problem solving and finding ways to eliminate waste.  Once you gain this overview more detailed Skillsoft courses are available on process improvement processes and implementation.
