Production Flow - Lean Manufacturing
14 April 2010, 9:00am - 12:00pm
The world is changing rapidly and your customers are expecting you to be more agile and provide short runs with little notice. How can you meet increasingly tighter lead times, lower your inventory, raise quality and throughput while getting engaged and high performing staff? Others have done it, so can you. Learn how the world leaders operate and why they are the best.
Learn how to:
- Adapt/adopt the techniques the world's leading manufacturers use daily
- Reduce inventory including raw material, work in progress and finished goods without compromising delivery
- Turn a 'push' production system into a 'pull' production system
- Understand what waste really is and how to find it
- Define what value is - to you and your customer
- Reduce changeovers and set up times
- Organise the workplace so it works for you - not against you
- Introduce standard work to leaders and staff
- Have your team make informed, correct decisions themselves based on information they can actually use
- Create a culture that constantly looks to eliminate losses
- Become No 1 in your field
