Lean
Enterprise Workshop
As more organizations
decide to go lean, demand is escalating for a skilled team and system
wide approach for developing and implementing lean project plans. This
course is designed to equip you with the broad knowledge and tools to map
the transformation for developing a lean culture at your organization.
This workshop will allow you
to
- Complete
a self-assessment to determine your organization's readiness to
implement lean
- Gain
practical experience analyzing how to incorporate lean into
organizations
- Leave
with a project plan for implementing lean into your organization
The APICS Lean Enterprise
Workshop Series is organized to enable you to approach and understand the
lean transformation process systematically. Using scenarios from a
fictitious company, Murphy's Toys, you will be tasked with finding lean
solutions to a myriad of challenges. This method will provide you with
the flexibility to immediately customize what you've learned and
implement it at your own organization.
There are seven workshops
in the series:
Introduction
You will gain an overview of the many components of implementing
a lean transformation in your organization and gauge your
organization's readiness through a hands-on assessment.
Lean Culture
Explore the effects of a lean implementation on your employees
and learn about the importance of teams. The Kaizen, a team-
oriented continuous improvement event will be introduced in this
section.
Value Stream Mapping
Learn about value stream mapping and this tool's value for
viewing processes and determining potential areas of
improvement. Draw a current state map and then learn about
concepts to help you improve your future state.
Stability and Process
Improvements
Learn how to improve process stability, achieve
demand stability
and improve manufacturing process efficiencies.
Just-in-Time
Determine customer demand, standard work, line balancing and
many other tools to meet customer demand. Participants will
explore the use of a heijunka system to meet
customer demand
through a hands-on activity.
Measuring
Review the way a lean company measures and align measurements
with objectives. Topics include lean accounting, inventory
costs, target costs and lead time.
Sustaining
Learn about the long-term changes to sustain the gains
made.
Topics include lean design, analyzing failures and ensuring
ongoing quality control and continuous improvement.
This exciting, new course is designed to equip you
with the broad knowledge and tools to map the transformation for
developing a lean culture at your organization. Our instructor, Bill Giambra, will cover the seven modules over a series
of Saturdays this April.
You will earn 1
maintenance point for every instructional hour
or 24 points.
The price includes
the participant workbook, lunch, and certificate of completion.
