Hands-on Lean Simulation 1 or 1-1/2 days (workshop)
Highly interactive, hands-on simulations are being used by
many organizations to introduce core principles related to lean
manufacturing and continuous improvement. A live simulation will
demonstrate the impact of implementing many Lean techniques.
This workshop can be tailored to simulate the dynamics of any
factory. We will introduce your organization to a variety of
tools (depending on your needs) such as: quality at the source,
point of use storage, kanban/pull, cellular flow, lean
accounting, and many others.
Course Description:
This workshop combines classroom
discussion and live simulation with interactive processes that
actually create a product to demonstrate the value of Lean
Manufacturing techniques. In this hands-on workshop, we present
an introduction to Lean Conversion concepts, methods, and tools
while simulating a factory to put these concepts to work for
you. Participants will also learn the 8 types of waste and how
to eliminate them through the Lean “Building Blocks”. We will
discuss and implement various tools such as workplace
organization (5S), quick changeover, total productive
maintenance, visual workplace, cellular design, and Poka-Yoke.
This workshop will help you understand Lean conversion
principles and the benefits of Lean.
Upon completion of the session, participants walk away with a
clear understanding of the “Lean Journey” — its concepts and
philosophies (i.e., analyzing and improving the flow of
information and materials in a manufacturing environment).
Learning Objectives:
In this workshop participants will learn
how to: • Redesign office or manufacturing processes; • Maximize
customer value; • Minimize cost and waste; • View manufacturing
processes as part of a total “value-stream” system; and •
Identify waste in the value stream.
Who Should Attend:
Anyone and everyone that would like to
gain an understanding of Lean Conversion or is ready to partake
in a "Lean Journey."
Prerequisites:
None
