Description
Sustain and control planning helps to ensure that improvements are sustained as organizations go through changes such as employee turnover and further process changes. Sustaining Lean improvement requires an employee-supported Lean culture, timely communication, interlocking leadership involvement, and the capacity to wield a variety of controlling and monitoring tools. This course explains the approach to sustain and control planning, and introduces tools and systems used by leading organizations both to maintain improvements and to continually reach for more.
