Take the Next Step in Operational Excellence Turn inefficient processes into smarter, data-driven, AI-enabled workflows. Operational excellence goes beyond simply reducing waste. It focuses on building efficient, responsive, and data-driven processes that consistently create greater value for customers. Lean Operational Excellence with AI is a practical 1-day workshop that brings together Lean and Six Sigma methodologies with AI, data analytics, and intelligent automation. It equips professionals with practical approaches to identify inefficiencies, solve problems, optimize workflows, and maintain long-term operational performance. Participants will explore how to identify process waste, map workflows, uncover root causes, analyze operational data, discover automation opportunities, and use AI to support process improvement, SOP development, and operational decision-making. What You Will Learn • Apply Lean principles and recognize the 8 forms of waste • Separate value-added activities from non-value-added work • Create process maps using SIPOC, Value Stream Mapping, and flowcharts • Identify bottlenecks, delays, and process inefficiencies • Use 5 Whys, Fishbone, Pareto, and other root-cause analysis tools • Apply DMAIC and operational KPIs to improve performance • Use AI for process analysis, root-cause investigation, and SOP enhancement • Identify opportunities for automation and intelligent workflows • Understand AI-enabled workflows, AI agents, and human-in-the-loop processes • Assess automation opportunities and potential ROI • Establish standard work and continuous KPI monitoring • Support continuous improvement through appropriate AI governance and human oversight Practical Process Improvement This workshop focuses on practical application rather than theory alone.
