4.0 Contact hours. The A3 method is a Lean tool for optimizing process performance by methodically analyzing the current state and turning that understanding into a design for a better future state. The tool uses before and after metrics to help the team evaluate the success of each incremental change.
The A3 method is a systematic, step-by-step technique for finding and resolving obstacles to process optimization. The method was designed by Toyota and is a key tool for Lean practitioners. Beginning with a deep understanding of the current state, the A3 team will progress to the ideal future state through a series of steps designed to ensure that the most pressing problems are solved first. Each A3 exercise opens the door to new and better ways of doing work–making work easier first, then better, then faster and finally cheaper. This course includes:
- Seven short instructional videos (total time 1 hour, 36 minutes)
- A case study
- An assignment
- A ten-question quiz
- A reflection topic
- A scheduled workshop
The course will take approximately 6 hours to complete.
