Lean Training
Boston
Industrial Consulting offers Lean Training with the Implementation
and Lean Conversion process. Each training program is uniquely
tailored to the individual client, in order to receive the maximum
benefit from training. Handouts are provided to each attendant
for continued review after the training event occurs.
Lean
Overview
The Principles of Lean Manufacturing are discussed, including Lean Manufacturing Roots, and why it has been successfully implemented for many companies. A practical
hands-on approach is stressed using easy-to-understand examples and case studies
of similar applications. A detailed understanding of waste and other lean concepts
including 5S, batch size reductions and demand pull strategies are also covered.
Examples are used to show the overall impact of Lean benefits on Work-in-Process
and Cycle Time.
Lean
Drivers / Value Stream Mapping
A detailed development of the key elements driving Lean Manufacturing is covered
in the first half of this training session. Attendees will understand where
the main impact for driving a successful lean program and key contributors
to waste on the production floor. The second session will focus on detailed
Value Stream Map, using Industrial Engineering techniques to identify an entire
process. Real world examples of past clients, where waste and value add was
identified will be used. A plan for identifying and eliminating non-value added
elements would be reviewed in a team structure.
5S
/ Visual Factory
The 5S program (Sort, Set-in-order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain) with an
emphasis on the 6th S for Safety will be reviewed from a workplace and overall
operational standpoint. An on-floor example will be used within the factory
to transform an under-organized area into a clean and orderly workstation.
The second half of the session will promote the tools used in a Visual Factory,
which emphasizes many of the 5S Principles. Examples will be used to demonstrate
a full effect of Visual Factory tools.
Kanban
/ Inventory Pull
Using Visual Triggers identified in previous training sessions, Demand Flow
and Kanban systems will be discussed in detail. A full understanding of internal
and external Kanbans, their effect on inventory reduction and detailed instructions
on interfacing with MRP systems are presented within this session. This session
promotes true inventory management and customer management, focusing on making
product to customer order vs. batch and queue techniques.
Setup
Reduction
For companies operating in the machining and batch environments, a Setup Reduction Program is critical in reducing lot size and cutting inventory. The principles of Setup Reduction and Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) using the Shingo method will be reviewed. A change over process improvement program will be presented using examples from past clients.
