The Lean
Manufacturing Workshop is conducted over a period of 5 days
Dedicated cross-
functional teams are formed with your people, the basic
concepts are shared and the objectives which need to be met
at the end of the workshop are crystallized.
Teams along with the
consultants work on the shop floor. They are able to
'SEE'
and
‘OBSERVE’ value added and
non-value added activities / time. Subsequently they are
able to reconfigure the material flow and information flow
to achieve one-piece flow, pull manufacturing having
substantially reduced throughput time and lowered
inventories.
Subsequently teams are empowered to
suggest, discuss and implement the most effective changes on
an immediate basis.
Impact of Lean Manufacturing Workshops - Value Adding
Workshops -
VAW™
-
Rapid, sustainable
improvements
-
Lower cost
– reduced throughput times, high machine effectiveness
and high asset utilizations.
-
Increased flexibility
– reduction in set-up time and ability to match
production with fluctuating demands by producing in
smaller batches and more products each day.
-
High quality
– improved process yield,
process capability and waste reduction.
-
Improved cash
flow
- Improved material flow and
improved information flow enabling fewer inventories in the
warehouse, on the floor, finished goods and streamlined
distribution, eliminating the need for capacity related high
capital expenditures.
Dramatic achievements as
stated above along with TOP MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
metamorphoses organizations into Lean, Fit, Competitive
Organizations on a sustained basis. |
