   Top Management Track

A successful lean transformation starts with top management, and this track is designed for those who must lead the way. Every successful implementation is based on a total commitment by top management and a clearly defined, clearly articulated strategy. Most company owners, presidents, CEO’s and top managers simply are not sure what they should be doing to lead this critical change process. This is your opportunity to hear from a group of highly successful senior executives who have implemented a lean culture in their organization. They will explain their steps, from concept to culture change and beyond. Our distinguished speakers represent a variety of industries and business conditions. They will share very specifically how they planned, how they mentored, how they led, and how they have sustained their lean implementation.

Lean Skills Track - Design and build a real manufacturing cell

Once you have started on your lean journey, the lean techniques of cellular flow, 5-S and visual factory are critical building blocks for your lean enterprise. Your knowledge of these tools and the ability to apply them properly will be enhanced by your attendance at this intensive day-long session. In the morning we will go through a detailed training session on how to design, balance and build a one-piece flow work cell. The materials that will be provided in this session will be invaluable to you when you return to your own company. The afternoon will include the actual building of a “living cell” where we will make a real product. As we build the cell, we will incorporate the companion techniques of 5-S, visual factory, pull systems, and performance measures. All participants will receive a CD containing all of the analytical tools demonstrated in the workshop. Participants in this track will have the option of transferring to the Lean Fundamentals track in the afternoon.

Lean Fundamentals Track

If you are just getting started in your lean journey, or perhaps just want a refresher, this track will provide an overview of the basics. In the morning we will cover the basic principles of Lean Manufacturing and use a live simulation model to demonstrate the differences between traditional mass production and lean production. The simulation will enhance the learning experience and provide ample opportunity for questions and discussion. In the afternoon, we will teach and demonstrate the technique of value stream mapping for both manufacturing and administrative situations.
Participants in this track will have the option of transferring to the Lean Skills track in the afternoon.
