Lean is defined as the systematic elimination of waste through continuous improvement. Waste impacts competitiveness, the bottom line, relationships with customers, facilities, and operations. This is entry level workshop promotes the principles of lean and supports sustainability.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop provides a practical overview, real-world success stories, and the hands-on tools needed to apply Lean principles to your organization. The focus is to learn how to deploy Lean in the manufacturing work environment to yield efficiency and improvement.
Participants will learn how to define value from your customer’s perspective and identify waste. They will learn about various lean concepts and be able to apply them to simple improvement projects. Individuals are guided through the transformation of an imaginary company - from a traditional manufacturing environment to a lean work environment. Three levels of simulation will be conducted with training and discussion between sessions. A high level of involvement from class attendees is required to maximize learning effectiveness.
In this introductory course, participants will learn the following
- Reduce cycle time
- Reduce floor space
