| The Lean Manufacturing workshop will turn your staff into lean
thinkers by learning 5 lean principles. It will teach them how to identify
value, develop a value
stream, determine the product's flow,
create a pull system of production and aim toward
perfection in quality and process. The principles
of 5S's, manufacturing cell design, JIT, Kaizen blitzes and Kanban
systems are discussed for consideration in future applications. This is followed
by an on-site review of the identified product(s), manufacturing cell(s) or
sub-assembly where a current Value Stream Map (VSM) is developed. The merits of
the lean manufacturing metrics learned are reviewed for inclusion in the future
VSM. A future VSM is drawn, projects are assigned and an action plan is developed.
