I will have the pleasure of assisting Systems2win at the upcoming AME, Association of Manufacturing Excellence, Kentucky 2009 International Lean conference to be held October 19-23, 2009. Systems2win is a supplier of Lean Six Sigma software tools and will be highlighting their Value Stream Mapping/Management system and their Standard Work template. The AME event celebrates their 25th anniversary at this annual event and will provide the most powerful way to gain an unbelievable amount of knowledge in this short a time.
Also assisting Dean Ziegler, founder and owner of Systems2win at the booth will be James Lewis, author of Story of a Lean Journey. These 2 individuals possess a world of knowledge about Lean and more specifically Value Stream Mapping. I hope to have numerous discussions on their mapping philosophy and how best to apply them in the world of marketing.
I choose attending the AME Conference because I felt it represented the highest level of Lean thinking assembled under one roof. I have scheduled several other appointments through out the conference with some leading Lean experts to get their opinion on the best alternatives for applying Lean in the marketing process. This translates into fast implementation of the new marketing solutions that I have learned.
The AME Conference includes 60 world class best practice presentations:
Value Stream 1: From Lean and Green to Building Sustainability for the Economy, Society and the Environment. Learn critical best practices on purchasing, energy management and packaging, from development to customer.
Value Stream 2: Building and Sustaining the Lean Culture. See valuable lessons from practitioners, who have moved beyond implementing Lean tools to a culture that lives and breathes the values of a Lean.
Value Stream 3: Lean Supply Chain. Here is your opportunity to learn how leading practitioners are drastically reducing the time to design, develop and deliver new products and services.
Value Stream 4: Next-generation Lean and Six Sigma. This promises to deliver the most creative and innovative sessions delivered at an AME Conference. How will we apply Lean practices in the future?
Value Stream 5: Lean Enterprise Leadership. Learn how to define the future-state, while addressing today’s environment. Gain insights into how to ensure leadership filters throughout the entire organization.
Value Stream 6: The Fundamentals of Lean. Hear how to build a Lean program that transforms a company into a world-class organization. Learn how to get a proper start from the people who have been there and done that.
If you are attending, please stop by and introduce yourself. I would enjoy the conversation.
