SyCom Services Class Offerings

SyCom Services offers training opportunities aimed at improving performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings. We will be offering classes in the following categories:

This course will give an in-depth overview of Five S.  Five S is a way of organizing and managing the workspace and work flow with a goal of improved efficiency and safety, which is done in part by reducing and eliminating waste, which is any activity that does not bring value or is unproductive.  In order for an activity to be considered as value added, it should be an activity that a customer is willing to pay for.  The reduction of waste is a primary component to increase profit. 

These courses will explain the strategic approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets, the people, who are working collectively to achieve the objectives of the business.  Put simply, it means employing people, developing their resources, while utilizing, maintaining, and compensating their services.  Key topics will include Sexual Harassment, Workplace Diversity, Ethics, and High Involvement Teamwork.

These courses will discuss some main aspects of leadership, which is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.  Leadership is carried out by applying attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills.  Key topics will include Executive Management, Policy Deployment, and Principles of Supervision.

These courses are designed to teach the basics of the Lean Processes.  Lean is the set of tools that assist in the identification and steady elimination of waste.  The implementation of Lean is focused on getting the right things, to the right place, at the right time, in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow while minimizing waste and being flexible and able to change.  Key topics include Process Mapping, Value added vs. Non Value added, Lean for Leaders, Problem Solving, RCCA, and Continuous Improvement mindset (A way of life).
