Description

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE LEAN OVERVIEW WITH SIMULATION?This interactive workshop combines comprehensive classroom instruction with simulation of a production facility. The basic concepts of Lean manufacturing and the tools and methodology necessary to implement “lean” on the shop floor are demonstrated. Participants assume the role of production workers, applying lean tools to their individual workspaces and the entire product line. This learn-do technique, over three “shifts”, illustrates cause and effect relationships for each of the lean tools presented. Participants review methodology and lessons learned from previous shifts, deciding what and how to implement while working with realistic constraints such as available resources, cash flow, and resistance to change. BENEFIT FROM HANDS-ON FACTORY SIMLUATION Following the Lean Manufacturing Overview and Simulation, participants will have learned several new techniques to aid you in the Lean transformation on-site. You’ll be able to: Differentiate between a “push” and a “pull” systemIdentify the eight (8) wastes that must be eliminated to make the manufacturing processes LeanExplain how those wastes reduce company profitsUnderstand the functions of a Kanban systemMake more effective use of the employee’s time following waste eliminationAGENDA8:00 AM -Traditional Manufacturing & 8 Wastes 9:00AM - Round 1 – Traditional Manufacturing Simulation Workplace Organization (5S)10:00AM - 5S System, Visual Controls, Standardized Work, Plant Layout, Point of Use Storage, Batch Size Reduction, Quick Changeover11:30AM - Round 2 – Applying Basic Lean Tools12:00PM - Break - Lunch12:30PM - Teams, Quality at the Source, Cellular Manufacturing, Pull Systems, Total Productive Maintenance2:00PM - Round 3 – Applying Intermediate Lean Tools3:00PM - Wrap-upPRESENTERS: Greg Thompson | Technical Specialist, IMEC Greg worked for over 10 years in the semiconductor and food manufacturing industries prior to joining IMEC. He held positions in Industrial Engineering, Operations Finance, & Supply Chain Planning. He has worked for IMEC for over 15 years, focusing on continuous improvement and lean manufacturing training and implementation. He attended the University of Illinois (U-C), earning a BS & MS in Industrial Engineering and an MBA. Jim Floyd | Technical Specialist, IMEC Jim has over 20 years of experience leading sustaining, enterprise-wide Lean transformations and continuous process improvements – both domestically and internationally, in manufacturing (discrete, process, and FDA regulated), consumer product, and service industries. Jim holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Master of Education from the University of St. Francis.  As a Lean continuous improvement leader, Lean master black belt, process improvement engineer, and professional educator, Jim leads enterprise-wide Lean continuous improvement transformations, creating a unified culture of ownership and accountability, deploying strategic business plans, and achieving measurable break-through outcomes.
