Seeking the most current, results-oriented training available in Lean principles, the Lean Kick Off program is exactly what you need. This interactive workshop combines a comprehensive classroom presentation with hands-on simulation of a production facility. In this workshop, we introduce the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing and demonstrate the tools and methodologies necessary to implement “Lean” on the shop floor. The classroom presentation is an interactive overview of Lean Manufacturing, which introduces concepts and methodologies for implementation. Participants act as production workers, applying the Lean tools to their individual workplaces as wells as across the entire product line.
Course Content:
This workshop presents the best live simulation available and is a first step to learning the principles of Lean Implementation. Participants manufacture test circuit boards in a simulated manufacturing setting. Results of the first simulation round provide the setting for continuous improvement by applying Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce the 8 wastes. Lecture and hands-on simulations introduce standardized work, value stream mapping, workplace organization, visual controls, set-up reduction, batch size reduction, point of use storage, quality at the source, and pull systems. Each technique helps improve key metrics dramatically.
