leanOn Site HelpThe following courses are offered at various locations across the state (open enrollment). These courses can also be delivered at your facility. Contact your field consultant for more information. Lean Manufacturing OverviewThis course demonstrates a systematic approach to reducing costs and lead times by continually reducing non-value added activities. Lean manufacturing tools improve the flow of information and materials that will increase your organization’s productivity, competitiveness, and profitability. With a combination of classroom training, real-world examples, and hands-on simulations, you will discover ways to identify and eliminate or reduce the wastes in your manufacturing process. Lean tools you will learn about include
Lean Certificate ProgramThis program will guide the participant through the powerful tools used in Lean manufacturing implementation. Using a value stream map, you will begin prioritizing your Kaizen events to eliminate waste as quickly as possible. You will gain working knowledge of proven and practical Lean manufacturing tools, such as
Lean Office EventUp to 75 percent of your firm’s opportunities for eliminating waste can be found in areas other than manufacturing. In this two-day course, you will learn how to turn your office and support areas into efficient, effective, predictable operations. With a combination of classroom training, real-world examples, and hands-on practice, you will discover how to identify and eliminate or reduce the waste in your administrative processes. First, you will learn Lean definitions, along with Lean tools and techniques, such as value stream mapping for the office. By the end of the second day, you will have developed a value stream map that identifies the most significant improvement opportunities in your office.Value Stream MappingValue stream mapping focuses your improvement efforts and pinpoints problem solutions that will give you the most value for your money, time, and energy. Value stream mapping lets you create a material and information flow map of a product family. A typical value stream includes customer orders entering the production control schedule, raw materials entering the facility, manufacturing processes, and finished goods leaving the shipping dock. Does information and material flow in the most logical and cost effective manner? A “current state” map will show you where time and money are being wasted—excessive inventory, processes delayed due to lack of information, or unnecessary downtime for production equipment. A “future state” map identifies the desirable destination and helps you determine how to get there. In this event, you will learn how to create these maps, which will guide your efforts to the best and most productive projects.Workplace Organization and Visual Controls (5-s system)5-S is an organizational technique that helps you streamline your workplace. By using this systematic method, you can create a safer, cleaner, and more organized arrangement of the workplace with a specific location for everything. You will learn to eliminate items that are not needed, and you will see lasting productivity improvements from these simple techniques. Learn the techniques and begin applying them in your facility.Total Productive MaintenanceTotal productive maintenance (TPM) harnesses the participation of all your employees to improve your production equipment’s availability, performance, quality, reliability, and safety. You will learn about
Mistake Proofing“To err is human,” but that doesn’t mean your customers are willing to accept defective products. This event gives you methods for increasing the visibility of errors, improving reaction time to errors, and creating systems to prevent errors from recurring.You will learn about
Quick Changeover/Setup EventThis tool reduces the time you lose to setups and changeovers while increasing the valuable available time of your production equipment. Based on the principles of the single minute exchange of dies (SMED) system developed by Shigeo Shingo, this event uses classroom training and simulations to demonstrate methods for
Six Sigma/Lean Six SigmaSix Sigma has become the premier continuous improvement method used by leading-edge companies to reduce defects and improve quality. It works because it is
Kaizen FacilitatorKaizen events are the vehicle to implementing Lean tools and concepts. Kaizen events are well-scoped, focused improvement efforts that utilize a team-based approach to eliminating wastes. This course is designed to teach a standard Kaizen process that can be used for implementing any Lean tool, such as quick changeover, 5 S, cellular/layout, and TPM.Objectives and topics include:
