OVERVIEW
Introduction to Lean provides participants with the basic Lean concepts and principles. These concepts and principles will be described and put in context to explain how they can be applied within the Manufacturing environment.
In the first half of the day, common Lean improvement tools and techniques will be identified and the class will discuss how best to apply these techniques from a Lean system perspective. The common mistake organizations make by focusing on "point" improvements versus "system" improvement will be studied. "Point" improvements create "exciting chaos" while "system" improvement creates dramatic sustainable bottom line benefits.
The second half of the day is designed to provide participants an introduction to Value Stream Mapping.
Enterprise Value Stream Mapping is a critical Lean technique that provides an end-to-end systems perspective for analysis and coordinated improvement. Value Stream Mapping creates an overall roadmap and shared vision, plus an actionable plan.
A value stream is the set of all activities, from order to delivery, used to provide a product or service to clients. Understanding and improving processes as integrated end-to-end systems is fundamental to real and sustainable improvement.
TARGET AUDIENCE
These interactive sessions are specifically designed for personnel at all levels of an organization, particularly those that are involved in process management, continuous improvement or process redesign in manufacturing who would like to enhance their working knowledge of Lean and Value Stream Mapping. The workshop will also act as a springboard and prerequisite for an upcoming series of Lean workshops that will continually take the participants’ knowledge and ability to the next level of capability and confidence.
