Visual Workplace |
Monday |
Monday, 8am-5pm
Visual Workplace
Learn the principles and techniques needed to apply 5S and establish visual management systems to improve workplace communication and adherence to standards. This module will explore how to share information, problems, abnormalities, waste, and unsafe conditions through visual display and controls, so that everyone understands at aglance what is going on in the workplace.
Participants will learn to:
- Set standards that are easy to see and understand
- Identify potential safety hazards
- Differentiate between visual control and visual display
- Improve communication
- Track daily production schedules, attendance, inventory levels, etc.
- Reduce search time
- Improve on-time delivery, quality, and morale
Tuesday 8am-5pm
Value Stream Management
Learn how to plot your lean strategy - a proven requirement in the application of lean production. This interactive module, adopted from the Toyota Production System, will teach you the step-by-step method of value stream mapping and storyboarding - how to gather the information needed to eliminate all non-value adding activities, and how to use it to plan the implementation of all lean activities. You will practice what you learn in class, begin to plan the mapping of a process or product line in your company, and learn from others in order to accelerate your own application.
Participants will learn to:
- Create a current and future state value stream map (from supplier to customer)
- Create a storyboard that will communicate the current and future states to everyone
- Apply current and future state maps and storyboard in an actual case study
- Quickly spot waste in your value stream
- Plan Lean production activities and coordinate the Lean tools
- Understand how to make kaizen activities truly focused
Wednesday 8am-5pm
Strategic Planning and Policy Deployment
The fundamental purposes of hoshin kanri (strategic management) action in a Lean enterprise is to focus a company's improvement efforts on a small number of very well defined initiatives to align and mobilize SBU's, plants, departments, and all supporting personnel in the transformation process. In this module, we'll present a proven business renewal planning and deployment process that will allow you to incorporate your strategic priorities into daily work at every level in your organization. We will also review and discuss the key performance indicators, targets to improve, bowlers, and countermeasures that will ensure you remain on course and that your improvement projects are meeting your strategic objectives.
Participants will learn to:
- Understand the cornerstones of a Lean system
- Learn the key principles of policy deployment
- Learn a systematic approach to the implementation of Lean
Standard Work
Standard work is central to achieving and sustaining the Lean enterprise. By definition Standard Work demands adherence to today’s best practices and must be imbedded in all we do, from standard operations in the workplace to standardized policies and procedures. In manufacturing operations, standard work is a key element in the elimination of waste and excess inventory and in achieving balanced and synchronized production. What it boils down to is that absent of standard work there can be no Lean. Guided by a classroom simulation, participants will use a proven methodology to develop a standard procedure, and then apply document control and visual workplace principles and techniques to train others in their new best practice, or standard work.
Participants will learn to:
- Understand the relationship between standard work and customer demand
- Analyze use of standards
- Apply current and future state maps and storyboard in an actual case study
- Create and document standards
- Communicate and ensure adherence to standards
- Maintain and continually update standards as best practices evolve

Thursday, 8am-5pm
Total Productive Maintenance/OEE
This module will preview each of the basic TPM Pillars, and TPM and the roots of Lean Manufacturing. Learn how the pillars relate to each other to create a natural synergy, and how they can result in an immediate return of the TPM investment when properly utilized in today's manufacturing workplace. Participants will have an opportunity to explore the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric through application of a business case study.
Participants will learn:
- The role of TPM in a Lean implementation
- The benefits of a team-based approach to equipment care
- The importance of having operators involved maintenance activities
- The Overall Equipment Effectiveness calculation
Achieving Quick Changeover
Learn the principles and techniques needed to decrease changeover times and increase inventory turns. This module will teach you how to gain manufacturing flexibility while increasing your ability to react to customer demands and competitive pressures. Through a combination of lecture, group exercises and simulation this module will demonstrate how you can reduce changeover time and make more changeovers to satisfy one-piece flow.
Participants will learn to:
- Understand the key concepts of Changeover
- Identify the differences between internal and external elements of work
- Improve internal and external activities
- Discover the no-cost/low-cost approach to Changeover implementation
- Sustain
implementation of Changeover will allow you to produce smaller lot
sizes; lower inventories; shorten lead times and gain additional
capacity.
Mistake-Proofing
The best way to prevent defects is to examine the process, determine what condition led to the defect, and then control that condition. Mistake-Proofing (poka-yoke) devices automatically inspect for errors or defective operating conditions. This valuable module will demonstrate methods you can use to avoid and control defects in your own operations.
Participants will learn to:
- Prevent defects at their source
- Identify "red flag" conditions that commonly cause errors
- Reduce inspection costs by effecting low-cost 100% in-process inspection
- Eliminate waste and rework
Friday, 8am-12n
Team Based Problem Solving (CEDAC®)
In this module you will learn about several reliable methods that are used to identify a problem's root cause and generate effective team-based solutions. We will discuss the scientific method that is imbedded in tools such as CEDAC® (winner of the Deming Prize), 8D, DMAIC and other structured techniques. You will learn how to use a simple, yet very effective cause and effect problem solving process to focus on priority problems and opportunities. This session is guided by a lean business case study.
Participants will learn to:
- Identify key quality and productivity problems and opportunities
- Set and stay focused on key improvement targets
- Track daily progress visually, using performance indicators
- Lock in improvements by standardizing and assuring adherence to best practices
- Promote communication among teams in a multi-shift, multi-site operation
