Overview:
Changing a traditional batch and queue style 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 give the attendee an understanding of: |
- Both a current and a future Value Stream Map (VSM)
- How a Manufacturing Cell is designed
- The use of Product Families to identify production needs
- Understand what a Kanban System can do
- Understand the Just - In - Time Production system
- How to use The 5S Principles in all areas of the company
- How to operate Kaizen Blitzes effectively
|
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.

- Learn what a Kanban is and how to use it
- Understand what to look for during a Kaizen Blitz
|
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 batch
and queue production system through 4 iterations to the JIT "Bumping" system
- Determine if JIT is applicable to your product(s) and where
- Use two types of Kanbans while doing the JIT exercise.
- See how these Kanbans can be used in your company.
|
Value Stream Map Workshop
- The JIT demonstration's assembly operations will be used as an example product
- Each operation will be timed
- A current Value Stream Map (VSM) is drawn
- Learn the icons used in a VSM
- Identify additional lean metrics to be incorporated in the future VSM
- Draw the future VSM & identifying the priority of changes to be made
|
Kaizen Event Scheduling
- Develop an appreciation of the benefits of Kaizen Events
- Determine the need for scheduling the events
- A Kaizen Blitz schedule form provided and is reviewed
- Learn exactly what your are expected to do during a Kaizen Blitz.
- See how root cause analysis (RCA) and the Deming circle (PDCA); Plan, Do, Check, Act are used.
|
Kanban Cards or Signals
- Learn what a Kanban can do for organizing production
- See how the Kanban system will reduce and regulate inventories
- Learn how to calculate the number of Kanbans you need
- See how 2 different Kanbans are used during the JIT exercise
|
