Kanban System Design (KSD) | English | 04-07.04.2022

The Kanban System Design course provides knowledge and skills necessary to design a Kanban system or improve an existing one for optimal flow of value and faster delivery. Attendees of the training learn the fundamentals of Kanban, experience Kanban in a simulation game, and participate in hands-on exercises to design a Kanban system.

Kanban System Design is a two-day* course providing knowledge and skills necessary to design a Kanban system or improve an existing one. The training covers all the principles and practices of the Kanban method and introduces the basic concepts of flow, pull, and collaborative improvement.

Students participate in the Meirik Kanban Simulation, where they discover how each of discussed elements of Kanban works in practice when the team is exposed to real-life situations.

Equipped with that experience, students discover the STATIK (Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban) technique that helps them understand their current work system and design a Kanban system prepared for evolutionary improvements in the future.

The course is accredited by Kanban University. After completing the class, you will be issued a certificate of completion. The training is also the first course (along with Kanban Systems Improvement) required to complete the industry-recognized Kanban Management Professional accreditation.
