Lean development and accountability
3 days of interactive training over a 3 month period to truly embed Lean into your organisation.
Throughout the programme your team will not only be able to understand Lean and incorporate it into their way of thinking, but they’ll also work proactively using a real case study from your own organisation.
This programme is suitable for shop floor, supply chain and accounts to help them understand the implication of lean on their areas of the business.
In preparation of the programme each attendee / subgroup will be asked to identify a product that is important to them and that passes through several processes within your organisation, and to document a very simple process map relating to it.
For example extrusion > blowing > printing > packing and gain an understanding of what happens before the order hits production.
At the end of the sessions your team will…
- be able to introduce others to and embed lean principles
- be able to ‘see’ how work flows through your organisation
- be able to define value as perceived by the customer
- be able to convert customer demand to a takt time
- be able to define and document value streams
- be equipped with the skills to lead small scale lean improvements
Day 1 – Developing your understanding of Lean, how your role interplays with Lean and Production Improvement, learning about customer demand and the best use of flow, batch and pull in manufacturing. Taking this knowledge, between the sessions the team have an opportunity to apply their learnings to a specific process / machine / pod, developing their value stream map, look for opportunities and report back on day 2 with their findings and challenges.
Day 2 – Refresher on learnings from day 1 and developing a greater understanding, building in more around measuring performance. Present their work thus far and get help where problems have arisen. After day 2 the team are to continue the embedding of Lean and 5S into their area, taking the work to the next level and start to demonstrate improvements,
