Your lean journey begins with a series of interactive simulations that demonstrate how each lean concept is applied and its impact on the process. Mapping the process flow and identifying the activities that add value from the customer's perspective is the cornerstone of this class. The class is then given a scenario and the students simulate the conversion from traditional to lean in a practical hands-on environment. The course also provides a structure for how to manage a lean process for continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to structure their organizations to support and continuously improve a lean process. Participants will also fully understand how to implement 5S within their plants and how to begin reducing setup time using the SMED process.\n \n Course Topics\n \n 5S and muda\n Point of use\n Pull\n SMED\n Value-added\n Value stream mapping\n SMED\n 7 Wastes\n Visual Workplace\n \n Benefits\n Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:\n \n Create and improve a lean process\n Implement 5S to develop a safe, clean working environment\n Map the process flow and identify activities that add value\n Reduce setup time using the SMED process\n \n Who Should Attend\n \n Engineers new to a managerial position\n Engineers preparing to make the transition to managerial roles\n Current managers wanting to hone leadership skills\n \n Program Fees\n \n On-Campus Participant: $1,545\n Includes continental breakfasts, lunch and all course materials.
