LEAN Champion
Developing internal LEAN Champions is critical to the long-term success of realizing the benefits of LEAN Manufacturing. The LEAN Champion program provides a format to develop internal champions. The program includes 6 higher-level courses. Participants learn how to lead LEAN kaizen events. Each champion hosts a Muda walk and present a Value Stream Map to the other champions. Participants will establish a network with other LEAN leaders in the area allowing a great forum to learn from each other.
Completing the LEAN Certification Program is a pre-requisite for the LEAN Champion Program.
Courses
LEAN Tools for the Office
LEAN Office helps companies with any type of administrative function to streamline information flow--the gathering, improving, movement and storage of information. Just like LEAN for the factory floor, LEAN Office focuses on reducing total cycle time--in this case, the time between orders being placed and when payments are received. This full-day workshop combines classroom instruction with interactive live simulation where class participants take on the roles of managers and workers within an office.
LEAN Performance Management
Capturing the right measurements is of vital importance to the success of your LEAN transformation. With the right measurements in place, you can build and sustain momentum and win the support you need. With the wrong measurements in place, you are falling on your sword. You will learn about an array of tools and techniques for evaluating your LEAN initiatives. Walk away with tools in your toolbox and a better understanding of when and how to use them.
Total Productive Maintenance
This 3-day workshop is a production-driven improvement methodology that is designed to optimize equipment reliability and ensure efficient management of plant assets through the use of employee involvement and engineering. TPME means tapping into the ‘hidden capacity’ of unreliable and ineffective equipment. Learn how manufacturers have improved productivity, quality, customer service, and safety levels by reducing unplanned downtime as much as 40-60% through this operator-based maintenance program.
LEAN Finance & Accounting
Managers who implement LEAN express concerns that traditional accounting processes and measurements do not support their LEAN initiatives. LEAN is an enterprise-wide transformation for all administrative functions, especially finance and accounting. Participants will be introduced to the LEAN concepts and how to implement them into their finance and accounting systems to support LEAN manufacturing. Different cost calculations will be explored and may make sense for your company.
Pull/Kanban Systems
Allows the workshop participants to explore the process of designing and implementing Pull Systems/Kanban through classroom instruction and hands-on production simulations. Pull controls the flow of resources in a production process by replacing only what has been consumed and employs customer order-driven production schedules based on actual demand and consumption rather than forecasting. This course introduces participants to the principles of Pull Systems/Kanban, applies them in an ongoing simulation and demonstrates how they can be applied to a variety of manufacturing situations. Implementing Pull Systems can help you eliminate waste in handling, storing and getting the product to the customer. Kanban is a visual system of identifying an action required to replenish material, such as card, two bin systems, color coding pole or surface, etc.
LEAN Champion Facilitation
Effective facilitation to transform an average team into a high-performing, highly successful team challenges everyone in the LEAN leader role. This workshop will enable participants to experience the roles and techniques of facilitation as they are learned. Participants will facilitate small group activities and will receive feedback and coaching after each performance.
In this three-day workshop you will gain an understanding of the facilitator role and the importance of managing meetings; steer teams through a variety of decision-making processes; spark creativity and innovation; assess a team’s needs, design effective team processes; and learn to navigate change.
MUDA Walks
Each participant will host the rest of the group for a review of their Value Stream Map and a “MUDA” walk: a plant tour to identify waste. Everyone will visit each others plant throughout the program.
