Lean Methods
1 Day Training Program or Customized Workshop
Who Should Attend
Anyone
involved in developing, implementing, or managing manufacturing or assembly
processes.
How Lean Sessions Are Structured
The
subject of “lean” manufacturing is broad and deep. Most modern manufacturing
companies have some or even a great deal of lean know-how and experience. As a
result, a “one-size” training or workshop approach is rarely useful. So, we
“build to order” from a menu of topics, with the resulting depth of
presentation based on the allotted time and the subjects that are most
important to your success.
Workshop sessions that are carried out in a
manufacturing facility can include a true “gemba” or shop-floor exercise. If a
workshop session is conducted in an engineering center where repetitive
manufacturing isn’t regularly carried out, then a “paper gemba,” a study that
typically is part of the product development process, can be completed.
