Public Programs

WINOC regularly sponsors, or cosponsors with our partners, events such as manufacturing forums/tours  that foster public awareness of performance improvement methods and knowledge sharing in a variety of timely topics.

Education and Training

WINOC has developed a number of education and training programs in the areas of Lean Education, Leadership Development and Quality Systems and are at our best when developing on-site programs customized to our clients needs.

Lean for Frontline Supervisors

In this two-day workshop at your site, participants develop your organization's business case for Lean, assess your organization's readiness for Lean, conduct selected Standardized Work audits, develop improvement ideas and develop Lean Standard Work for supervisors. 

Office Process Improvement

In this two-day workshop teams apply quality and Lean practices to improve office processes at your site.  Using Value Stream Mapping teams construct and analyze Current State Maps and develop Future State Maps, leading to development of process improvement implementation plans.

Advisory Services

WINOC can be of assistance to your organization whether in business, industry/manufacturing, education, government or healthcare. In industry/manufacturing we can help you compete. In education we can help you improve student achievement. In government we can help you improve customer service. In healthcare we can help you improve patient health and satisfaction.

Though always customized to meet the needs of the client, WINOC's approach is to address strategic thinking first, then strategic planning, followed by action planning and guided and/facilitated implementation
