Focused Improvement is one of the original pillars of TPM. The goal of Focused Improvement is to maximize OEE through uncompromising elimination of equipment-specific losses.

In this training session participants will learn how to: use the Value Stream Mapping principals to identify critical pieces of equipment and their related impact on lead time, use the Focused Improvement Diagram (a visual systematic approach to the DMAIC process), document, monitor, and trend equipment related losses, and a process for determining the remedial actions necessary for loss control/elimination.

AVAILABLE FORMATS:

• Workshop: classroom learning and interactive exercises
• Kaizen Session: classroom learning and hands-on application
• Facilitated Coaching/Consulting: implementation in your environment
