Principles of the Lean Manufacturing (Sept. 18 — 8 am-4pm)
This workshop introduces a systematic approach to eliminating waste in manufacturing process. Learn how to eliminate the eight forms of waste, use the 5 S approaches to organize, reduce batch sizes; utilize point of use storage; use pull systems; implement cellular/flow; implement quality at the source; and involve employees. Simulation activities included.

Lean Enterprise Transformation (Sept. 25 — 8 am-4pm)
Increase revenue, reduce cost, and improve cash flow by implementing Lean throughout the enterprise. Transform your enterprise by implementing Lean across manufacturing, office, and supply chain. The workshop provides an overview of the Lean Enterprise with a focus on the Lean journey. Topics covered include the steps in the Lean journey, waste, performance measures, and culture. The session also includes information on how Lean affects people because changing the way your business runs is more than just moving machines-it means working with people too.

Value Stream Mapping (Oct. 2 — 8 am-4pm)
Value Stream Mapping focuses on a method to visually depict material and information flow through an operation. You will learn the principles and techniques of the Value Stream Mapping process and draw a map of the current state of a sample company; apply Lean concepts to develop an improves future state, draw it; and identify the next steps needed to achieve the future state. Leave with the ability to map your real work processes. Based on your value stream map, you can streamline work processes, thereby cutting lead times and reducing costs.

Culture, Leadership, Change Management and Teams (Oct. 9 — 8 am-4pm)
Changing the way your business runs means changing the way you work with your employee. Lean thrives when there is team work and people are involved in the process. This workshop provides information on Culture, Leadership, change management, and teams. Participants will learn specific methods to develop employee involvement, along with techniques to manage and preserve the gains created by Lean Manufacturing.

5S/Visual Workplace (Oct. 16 — 8 am-4pm)
The principles of 5S are based on the simple idea the manufacturing improvements begin with a workplace that is organized, clean, standardized and contains only what is required. Discover how to transform your manufacturing operations into one with enhanced communication and productivity. Learn how to employ 5S methodologies in your operation; and implement visual workplace techniques. Return to your organization with skills that will allow you to implement positive visible change.

Pull/Kanban (Oct. 23 — 8 am-4pm)
This workshop allows you to explore the process of designing Pull Systems/Kanban, applies the principles through classroom instruction and hands-on exercises. Pull controls the flow of resources in a production process to replace only what has been consumed, and fulfills customer orders based on actual demand and consumption rather than forecasting. This workshop introduces participants to the Pull System/Kanban principles and demonstrates how they can be applied to a variety of situations.

Problem Solving (Oct. 30 — 8 am-4pm)
In this workshop you will learn a systematic approach to problem solving. The workshop covers the problem solving process and the tools to define and solve the root cause. Participants will get an opportunity to bring a problem for uses as a case study exercise during the workshop.

Quick Changeover (Nov. 6 — 8 am-4pm)
In this workshop you will obtain a thorough understanding of Quick Changeover/Setup Reduction concepts and principles. You will also get to know how each step of the Changeover Improvement Process contributes to setup reduction or elimination. This workshop applies the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) system to analyze changeover and identify improvements.

Cellular/Flow (Nov. 13 — 8 am-4pm)
In this workshop, you’ll walk through the detailed; Five-step process for designing and implanting work cells. You’ll learn about various topics, including: plant layout implications, cell design, lead time, value-added versus non-value-added, point of use storage, and line balancing. A case study is included to apply principles learned in class to gain a solid foundation.

TPM-Total Productive Maintenance (Nov. 27 — 8 am-4pm)
Reducing inventory imposes a need for maximizing equipment productivity. Learn to analyze Overall Equipment Effectiveness to determine how much of the equipment’s time is being used effectively. Find out why machine operators are your first resource for maintenance. And consider effective preventive and predictive maintenance tools that help you significantly reduce machine downtime and achieve autonomous maintenance. A case study is included to apply the principles learned in class.

Performance Measures (Dec. 4 — 8 am-4pm)
Learn performance measurement is a cornerstone of lean accounting. The measurement of each value stream is the starting point for control and continuous improvement. This workshop will cover strategic, value stream, and cell/process performance measurements. This workshop includes how traditional performance measurements conflict with lean performance and the linkage between business strategy, value stream, and cell/process measurements. The workshop also includes understanding the starter set of performance measurements.

Kaizen Blitz/Event (Dec. 11 — 8 am-4pm)
The Kaizen Blitz helps you implement improvements quickly and effectively. The Kaizen Blitz is a distinctly different way to get things done. This workshop is designed to help your organization plan and run a Kaizen Blitz or event in your manufacturing operation. Learn how to effectively plan and implant the systematic Kaizen Blitz and receive a number of useful tools to take back to your own manufacturing operation.
