At this March 13 full day event, a facility tour in the morning will give participants a first hand look at how Kennedy Valve has implemented various Enterprise Excellence concepts in this foundry and finishing business. Tour highlights will be visual pull systems, flow PFEP replenishment, one-piece-flow assembly and an employee suggestion program.
The afternoon workshop will cover the subject of Leader Standard Work (LSW) – a key to lean sustainment. The elements of LSW include gemba walks and visual management. Leaders need to go see, show respect and ask questions as they help themselves and others gather facts and practice continuous improvement. As simple as this might sound, it does take deliberate practice. There must be a purpose to a gemba walk, and it is an activity that is best practiced as a small team sport. Attendees will perform actual gemba walks at the host company, and share what they learn from the experience.
