WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop must be attended if your manufacturing operations need to become more
responsive to your customer’s needs. You will be introduced to the many concepts that fall under the umbrella of lean manufacturing, more so you will also get tangible ideas that you can take back to work and implement.
For example, you will learn how to reduce cycle time and how to use workflows to develop effective and efficient plant layouts. In addition, you will discover how cellular operation concepts can increase your productivity, flexibility and quality and deliver results that will enhance your bottom line. This concept is based on Toyota production systems.
INTRODUCTION
Lean manufacturing is a process that can help you to substantially reduce inventories. Work-In-Process, required floor space, cycle times and lead times. It can also dramatically improve quality connecting processes and people to allow errors to be caught faster.
Continuous improvement and eliminating waste are fundamental principles in Lean Manufacturing systems. Lean Manufacturing is based on setting standards aimed at continuous improvements by all team members through constantly eliminating waste. It is an opportunity to change a flabby waste-filled operation into a toned and muscular manufacturing company.
This program is an antidote to stagnation and to Leap beyond today’s best practice. This workshop provides a new manufacturing Diet.

WORKSHOP OUTLINE
DAY ONE
- Mass Manufacturing to Lean Manufacturing Systems
- Grouping of machines layout towards cell layout
- 1st Simulation (Not Lean)
- participants will take part in some assembly operations performed in a traditional way
- end of simulation calculate the group's performance
- lead time, quality, productivity and inventory
- The Lean Principles
- Value
- The Value Stream
- Flow system
- Pull and the Kanban system
- Perfection
- Manufacturing Value Calculation
- Choose one of your products; calculate percentage of value added activities to your lead-time.
- This calculation is like a blood test to your process that reveals the whole world of improvements needed in your organization. It is a way forward to Lean transformation.
