Incremental continuous improvements of these methods improve the process efficiency. The objective of the course is to improve competitiveness of products, and enhancing long term profitability by redesigning business processes to achieve drastic improvements in the value delivered to the customer. All simulation attendees will participate in a day long workshop. Several intensive yet enjoyable production rounds will enable the participant to see, feel and measure the effects of the different LEAN manufacturing concepts as they are incorporated in the production process. This course covers the implementation phase of LEAN Manufacturing.
Participants use process mapping and value streaming to define actual plant operations.
They also study such topics as standardized work, takt times, cycle times, 5S, flow and visual control. In addition, they will have created a detailed implementation plan that is tailored specifically to your operation. The plan will include detailed roles, responsibilities, and duties required to implement LEAN manufacturing at your facility. The two-day course is intended for ten to twelve key participants. Class work begins with a general discussion of the importance of Kaizen but moves quickly to actual practical examples and projects taken from your shop floor.
