Experimentation has always been an important feature of continuous improvement. Running experiments helps the lean practitioner to understand the challenges a business faces, and to explore viable solutions, uncovering risk and complexity along the way.

The idea of improving the work, is fundamental to the success of every organisation and something that nearly every leader and senior manager advocates.

Gemba - What a wonderful word. The place - any place in any organisation - where humans create value. But how do we understand the gemba? And, more important, how do we make it a better place - one where we can create more value with less waste, variation, and overburden (also known, respectively, as muda, mura, and muri)?

LEA has continually conducted experiments to develop ways of explaining the key concepts of Lean with higher quality in a shorter lead-time. In this workshop we use a simulation to help any organisation understand the five Lean principles - value, value stream, flow, pull and perfection - whilst integrating the concepts of purpose, process, people and the scientific method of PDCA.
