About this Event

Does your company have issues with:

Lead times in excess of customer requirements?
Bottlenecks and/or shortages in production?
Excessive work-in-process inventory?
Over-production?

Lean Manufacturing encompasses a set process improvement techniques that, when implemented, shorten the time between customer order and factory shipment by eliminating waste.

Join Insyte Consulting for a fast-paced, information-packed session that will show you how to reduce costs, speed up delivery times and improve quality in your manufacturing operations. Participate in a Lean simulation where you learn how to use half the manufacturing space and half the investment tools to produce products in half the time with fewer defects.

Workshop Objectives:

This full-day workshop combines a comprehensive classroom presentation with hands-on simulation of a production facility. In this workshop, we introduce the basic concepts of Lean manufacturing and demonstrate the tools and methodology necessary to implement "lean" on the shop floor.

The classroom presentation is an interactive overview of lean manufacturing, introducing concepts and methodologies for implementation. Participants act as production workers, applying the lean tools to their individual work spaces as well as across the entire product line. This learn-do technique over four "shifts" illustrates cause and effect relationships for each of the lean tools presented. Participants review methodology and lessons learned from previous shifts, deciding what and how to implement while working with realistic constraints such as available resources, cash flow and resistance to change.
