Lean Workshop Series
Introduction to Lean Manufacturing
This workshop presents procedures companies use to identify and eliminate
waste to become lean. Tools used to identify and eliminate waste are
highlighted in this workshop.
Lean Mapping
This workshop provides the tools for mapping a value stream. It gives a
framework and provides practical step-by-step guidance to recognizing
value streams and developing current state maps, future state maps, and
the action plan.
5S
The 5 S method provides a foundation for delivering high-quality products
and services in the right quantity at the right time to satisfy customer
needs. The 5 S method is a perfect starting point for companies to begin
their journey toward lean as well as an intermediate step to emphasize the
value of workplace organization and process discipline.
Process Improvement and Quality in Lean
Manufacturing
Improvement and quality are at the heart of lean. This workshop discusses
the PDCA and DMAIC (six sigma) frameworks and the concepts of kaizen, root
cause problem solving, the visual factory, the seven tools of quality, and
blitz approaches. An improvement framework and sustainability of
improvement are discussed.
Lean Scheduling
This workshop covers the essential tools for lean scheduling. After
discussing the relationships with MRP II, Al’S, and factory physics, the
workshop describes six building blocks and eight lean scheduling methods
including kanban, heijunka, and mixed-model production.
Standard Work
This workshop documents the steps of implementing standard work—a tool to
determine maximum performance with minimum waste through the best
combination of operator and machine. Standard work helps eliminate
variability from the process, functions as a diagnostic device, and
exposes problems to facilitate problem solving. Lean Teams, Lean Design,
and Accounting
This workshop examines the correlation between teams, design, and
accounting in lean manufacturing. Lean team types, leadership skills, and
anchor draggers are discussed. Lean design covers concurrent design, value
engineering, QFD, and FMEA.
The Introduction course is 8 hours; the other four are 4 hour sessions
each.
