Lean Tools and Processes: How to Use Them in Your Business This presentation provides an overview of the most common, traditional Lean tools and methods that can be applied to any business -- from the shop floor to the back office, and from retail businesses to service industries. Topics covered will include Standard Work, 5S, Error Proofing, and others. The required culture change within a company and adoption of a "Lean Mindset" will also be discussed. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
