Description
Flow & Pull: Designing for Reliability and Responsiveness
A Free Live Training Event for Oldham County Businesses
Are your teams constantly waiting on parts, paperwork, or approvals?
Do you struggle with long lead times, unpredictable output, or bottlenecks?
Is your operation built around what’s easiest to schedule, instead of what the customer needs?
In this session, we’ll explore how the principles of flow and pull can help you streamline your operations, reduce waste, and deliver more reliably. Learn how to visualize your current processes, eliminate unnecessary delays, and build a system that responds to actual demand, whether you’re making products, delivering services, or managing internal workflows.
Join us for the fifth session in the CIWerx Lunch & Learn Series, led by John Allen, former Toyota Manager of Training and Development and founder of Total Systems Development (TSD), and Ryan Allen, creator of CIWerx, a field-based lean transformation program built specifically for small and mid-sized businesses.
What You’ll Learn
• What “flow” really means and how to see where yours breaks down
• How to map your current process and identify hidden delays
• How a simple pull system can reduce inventory, improve response time, and simplify scheduling
• How to design for predictability and meet customer needs with less stress
