Workshop - Principles of Lean Manufacturing

Reduced cost, improved quality, faster delivery—Learn how to get all three.

A Lean Enterprise produces more with less or equal resources. Lean practices drive improvements by eliminating waste and addressing process flow throughout the entire enterprise. The resulting streamlined organization becomes a foundation for continued long-term success. You should consider learning more about Lean Enterprise if your firm encounters issues such as:

Lead times in excess of customer requirements
Excessive work-in-process (WIP) inventory
Bottlenecks and shortages in production
Over-production

Benefits of Lean

The benefits of Lean include:

Reduced Cycle Time
Reduced Costs
Increased Capacity
Increased Productivity
Increased Sales
Reduced WIP (Work-In-Process)
Reduced Total Inventory
Improved Lead Times
Improved Quality
Increased Profits

Course Description

One-Day Workshop at our workshop venue, or if you request, at your location for groups of 14 to19 people.

At this workshop you will learn the principles of Lean Manufacturing, and how to apply them. During the simulation exercises—as a member of the Buzz Electronics production team—you'll apply Lean concepts such as standardized work, visual controls, batch-size reduction, pull systems, cell design and more. You'll experience first hand how Lean improves quality, reduces cycle time, improves delivery, reduces Work-In-Process, and increases profits.
