DESCRIPTION:17th -18th Feb 2022\nMembers cost:  €1080 \nNon-Members: €1350 \nHost Site:   Abbott Diabetes Care\, Donegal\nVirtual via ZOOM application\nSystems Designs \nThis two-day workshop integrates classroom and on-site experiences at a host facility to build upon the knowledge and experience gained in the DISCOVER workshop\, and focuses on the Systems and Tools diamonds in the Shingo Model. It begins by explaining that all work in an organization is the outcome of a system. Systems must be designed to create a specific end objective; otherwise\, they evolve on their own. Systems drive the behavior of people\, and variation in behavior leads to variation in results. Organizational excellence requires well-designed systems to drive ideal behaviors that are required to produce sustainable results. \nIn this workshop\, you will: \n\nDISCOVER three types of essential systems.\nEXPLORE five required tools for building an effective system.\nLEARN how to create and use system maps for each system type\nUNDERSTAND the responsibilities of a system\nGo and observe actual systems\nUNDERSTAND system standard work and how it drives improvement.\nUNDERSTAND how systems drive cultural transformation\n\nWho should attend?\nIf you did attend the Shingo Discover Excellence workshop and want to learn more about Systems and Tools diamonds in the Shingo Model then this is the right workshop for you. \nSystems Designs \nThis two-day workshop integrates classroom and on-site experiences at a host facility to build upon the knowledge and experience gained in the DISCOVER workshop\, and focuses on the Systems and Tools diamonds in the Shingo Model.
