Lean Training and Implementation
LEAN TRAINING:
Lean Enterprise Certification Series (40 hours)
(Courses with an asterisk are included in this series)
A five-day course designed to introduce and implement lean concepts to your plant.
*Principles of Lean Manufacturing/Lean 101 (8 hours)
Through live simulations, take the first step in learning to make improvements on lead time, on-time delivery, quality and bottom-line profit.
Principles of a Lean Office (8 hours)
Understand the benefits of a Lean office vs. a traditional office environment.
*Value Stream Mapping Training (4 hours)
We’ll help you map a product’s production path (material and information flow) from “door to door” to help you visualize the areas that most need lean.
*5 S of Workplace Organization (4 hours)
Sort, set-in-order, shine, standardize and sustain to make information concerning quality, productivity, schedule and safety visually accessible at any moment.
*Quick Changeover/Setup Reduction (4 hours)
Learn to decrease changeover time to improve machine uptime and product quality, reduce work-in-process and lead times and allow for small batch sizes.
*Cellular/Flow Manufacturing (4 hours)
Link and balance operations to reduce lead times, minimize work in process, optimize floor space and improve productivity.
*Pull/Kanban(4 hours)
Control shop floor inventory by using visual signals when parts need to be replaced.
*Total Productive Maintenance (4 hours)
Learn how to proactively maintain machines and equipment at peak efficiency and availability.
Kaizen Facilitator Training (8 hours)
The Kaizen Facilitator Training course is designed to teach a standard kaizen process that can be used for implementing lean tools, such as quick changeover, 5 S, cellular/layout and TPM.
Lean Concepts with Tube Factory Simulation (4 hours)
Lecture material provides an overview of the background of lean, the eight deadly wastes of manufacturing and the lean tools used to eliminate those wastes.
*Courses with an asterisk are included the Lean Enterprise Certification series.
LEAN IMPLEMENTATION:
Kaizen Event (3-5 days)
Aggressive goals are set early in the process and solutions are not simply put on paper but implemented by the team. Team members are empowered to offer and implement ideas, reinforcing the notion they are having an immediate impact. Kaizen events are a proven way to implement Lean tools and the greatest benefit is the nearly instantaneous recognition of improvement.
Value Stream Mapping Site Event (2 days)
This event helps companies focus on when and where they should apply Lean concepts to get the most impact. The result is an implementation plan that clearly prioritizes when and where to focus improvements and how each improvement will help achieve the future state. After the event, you will have a current-state map, future-state map and an implementation plan of your own value stream.
