Lean techniques were first introduced by the Toyota Motor Corporation around 1990 and since then have been used by major corporations to reduce operating time and costs while retaining product quality. Lean techniques evolve into operating philosophies to: make only what you need, never make a defect or pass a defect on, eliminate waste, and focus on cycle time reduction which ultimately reduces costs. Once in place, lean systems use less people, space, inventory, and financial investment. This course focuses on not only providing the knowledge of LEAN but also how it can be effectively applied in your work situation. The program format is both lecture and interactive. The students will participate in individual and group exercises. Case study methods are also used to enhance the 'real world' nature of this course.
This NINE-day workshop demonstrates the principles and concepts of Lean Manufacturing through lectures and multiple hands-on simulations.
