Workshops - Learning Events

Our Workshops move people from ‘Not Knowing’ to ‘Doing’ - turning knowledge into action.

Interactive, fun, engaging - our methods deliver ‘Twice the Learning in Half the Time.’

No ‘Death by PowerPoint’ - Learn by playing, exploring and creating your own understanding.

  • Value Stream Mapping - Eliminate Bottlenecks and Increase Productivity

    A Value Stream is all the actions to bring a product or service into the arms of the customer.

    This workshop teaches Value Stream Mapping concepts and symbols (day 1), and we construct a real ‘Current State Value Stream Map’ to identify improvements (day 2).

    Two-Days | On-Site | 6-24 Learners | Cost $2,800 (+gst, +t&a)

  • 5S/6S for Safety, Quality & Productivity

    5S or 6S (which is 5S+Safety) is the most widely used of the ‘Lean’ toolbox - and the most widely misused!

    Learn the real foundations of 5S from Taichi Ohno, of Toyota Production System fame, and see how ‘good’ 5S/6S improves workplace organisation, productivity and efficiency.

    One-Day | On-Site | 6-24 Learners | Cost $1,500 (+gst,+t&a)

  • Problem Solving and Root-Cause Analysis

    ‘Problem-solving’ is a sadly undeveloped skill. Before we put in a solution, we must focus on facts, check our assumptions, see what is really happening.

    We identify all of your current problems, identify opportunities for improvement and introduce A3 Thinking and Visual Projects to begin creating solutions.

    One Day | On-Site | 6-24 Learners | $1,500 (+gst,+t&a)

  • Levelled Production - Improve Productivity and Efficiency

    ‘Levelled Schedules’ are the single most important thing you can implement for greater productivity and efficiency. This Implementation Program uses ‘Green Stream Thinking’ to analyse your sales/production data and develop ‘Levelled Schedules’ to dramatically improve productivity and lower cost.

  • Quick Change-Overs - Deliver in Full, On Time

    ‘Quick Changeovers’ utilises ‘Green Stream Thinking’ and our ‘Action Mapping’ methodology to capture actual changeovers to analyse for improvement.

    Our ‘Quick Changeover’ workshop is a specialised/advanced program for production operators, maintenance and engineering staff.

  • Visual Project Execution - Successful Improvement Projects

    The goal of everything we deliver at Performance Frameworks is for your people to implement meaningful change that delivers results. A crucial skill, often overlooked, is Project Management.

    Our Visual Project Execution framework is a clear, visual and effective methodology that works.

    One Day | On-Site | 6-24 Learners | $1,500 (+gst,+t&a)

  • Strategy & Execution - 'Hoshin Kanri' - Achieving Results

    Strategy and Execution are crucial – everyone in the business must play their part.

  • Statistical Process Control

    This workshop teaches how to construct, implement and analyse ‘X-bar R Charts’. Your team learn about variation, the Normal Curve, Common and Assignable causes.

    We introduce Demings’ famous ‘Red Bead Experiment’, how Statistical Process Control supports Six-Sigma and cover Ishikawa’s Seven Quality Tools.

    One-Day | On-Site | 8-24 Learners | Cost $1,800 (+gst,+t&a)

  • Visual 'Lock Out, Tagout'

    The Visual Workplace

    This workshop introduces Visual Workplace, which helps everyone to know what is happening, what needs to be done and the problems and issues we are solving to create a better workplace.

    A visual workplace is a self-ordering, self-explaining, self-regulating and self-improving work environment — where what is supposed to happen does happen, on time, every time, day or night — because of visual solutions.

    One-Day | On-site | 6-24 Learners | Cost $1,500 (+gst,+t&a)

  • Change Leadership

    This workshop explores ‘Change’ in the context of your Lean journey. We begin by discussing the difference between ‘Change Leadership’ and ‘Change Management’ – and why we need both for effective change.

    We explore why people generally resist change – and why this is perfectly rational and logical. We will explore why change is so often difficult – and how we can engage everyone, even those who appear opposed to our proposed change.

    Your Change Leadership learning event will be customised to meet your specific challenges and support the culture and change you wish to implement.

  • Innovation Kaikaku Kaizen

    Innovation - Kaikaku

    In the past, organisations could survive even with very limited amounts of innovation. They could focus on providing quality products and simply update them to a level that maintains their competitiveness in the market.

    However, the innovation cycle has now accelerated. You need more than good products to survive; they require innovative processes, and management that can drive down costs and improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, safety, sustainability and productivity.

    Your Innovation Learning Event will be customised to meet your specific challenges and deliver the Innovation Culture you seek to achieve.
