Overview:
Changing a traditional production system into a lean manufacturing system takes time and knowledge of the tools and techniques used to make the changes happen. This workshop will provide the required knowledge to develop: |
- A Value Stream Map (VSM)
- Understand the design of a Manufacturing Cell
- Use Product Families to identify production needs
- Implement a Kanban system
- Understand what a Heijunka Box can do
- Understand the Just - In - Time Production system
- Begin using The 5S Principles in all areas of the company
- Operate Kaizen events
|
| The timing and the pace of implementation of these tools and techniques is a corporate decision. You can start when you want and go as fast as you wish. Generally speaking, the benefits will be approximately the same. It's a matter of how soon do you want to feel and see the differences.
|
Who should attend:
Quality Control/Assurance Managers, Engineers, Company Executives, Project Leaders, Office Staff, Foreman/Lead Hands. The change to Lean Manufacturing is the task for the entire company, not just the production staff. In-house workshops are generally given to a team of 5 to 10 people from a cross section of staff.

| Agenda: |
Understanding Lean Manufacturing
- Find out what benefits are available when you go Lean.
- Hear what other companies have experienced after they went Lean.
- Learn the seven (7) deadly wastes and how to find them.
- Review and discuss Edward Deming's 14 Points for Management.
- See how Deming's 14 Points for Management forms the basis for Lean Thinking©.
- Find out the benefits to a Value Stream Map
|
Learn 6 Lean Tools
- Learn how to apply the principles of Lean Thinking©
- Learn how to break down your products into Product Families
- Learn the Principles of 5S and get forms for follow-up reviews
- Find out what is involved in designing a Manufacturing Cell
- Learn what a Kanban is and how to use it
- Understand what a Heijunka box can do for you
|
Just - In - Time Workshop
- Find out how Just - In - Time (JIT) was developed
- Join in a hand-on demonstration of JIT - going from the traditional production system through 4 iterations to the JIT "Bumping" system
- Determine if JIT is applicable to your product(s) and where
|
Value Stream Map Workshop
- Identify all of the tasks to be viewed and timed
- Go to production floor and time each task
- Return to build the current Value Stream Map (VSM)
- Learn the lexicons used in a VSM
- Identify the lean metrics to be incorporated in the future VSM
- Draw the future VSM - identifying the priority of changes to be made
- Develop a new plant layout to match the new VSM
|
Project Management Principles
- Understand the 5 project management categories as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI®)
- Learn what is involved in proper development of a project
- See how some common pitfalls occur in projects and how to avoid them
|
Kaizen Event Scheduling
- Develop an appreciation of the benefits of Kaizen Events
- Determine the need for scheduling the events
- A Kaizen Event schedule form provided and is reviewed
|
Summary
- Review the entire workshop for questions
- Emphasize the key elements of each section
- Wrap up questions and answer session
|
| The length of the workshop will vary depending on the complexity of the product or sub assembly that is being reviewed. For example, a simple product with 10 operations totalling 60 minutes of labor would take approximately 5 to 6 days to complete. This is usually the minimum amount of time to review a product. The workshop can be broken down into sections so that personnel are not withdrawn from their duties for an extended period of time. The break points are after the first 2 days of "classroom" work and before evaluating the product for the current VSM. The second break point is between the development of the current VSM and the building of the future VSM. The longest period is often the timing and development of the current VSM due to the requirement to attain reliable labor times for each operation.
