workshop objectives
In today's "global market", featuring vanishing borders and hot competition, manufacturers should adopt an integrated approach to modern ways of competing and performing.
This workshop is designed to give participants a practical, "hands-on" overview of the Lean Manufacturing discipline, addressed to dramatic improvements in productivity, quality and reactivity to clients' needs and expectations (World Class Performance status).
Specific objectives of this workshop are:
- To highlight the vital importance of a global attention to "value" in the manufacturing industry.
- To make participants aware of the Value Adding Management and Systematic Elimination of Waste principles, and furnish hints and practical guidelines for their practical implementation in the manufacturing industry.
- To make participants knowledgeable about the Lean Manufacturing, Flow Production and Cell Manufacturing principles, by studying practical cases of successful implementation
- To give participants practical criteria to identify, in their own manufacturing concern, those processes in which Lean Manufacturing techniques could be implemented smoothly
- To show the relationship between Lean Manufacturing and allied disciplines such as Total Quality Management, Total Productive Maintenance, Achieving Quick Change-Over and Total Employee Involvement
This workshop is very interactive and supplemented with abundant practical exercises and case studies
target audience
General Managers - Operations Managers - Production Managers, Planners, and Supervisors -
Quality Managers and Plant Managers from manufacturing enterprises.
