<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"><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>
