Theme: Design Production systems by applying Lean Tools
Objectives:
You will understand the Principles and practise of Lean that created a set of standardized work tools that systematically work towards increasing value for customers & improving profits for an organisation.
Key take-aways
- Understanding the principle that created the application called Lean Production
- How lean tools need to be put into practise within a production system
- Inconsistencies within the practise of lean in organisations
- How the interplay of Muri, Mura and Muda impacts organisation performance
About the Program
Lean has been around for nearly 30 years as we know it now, but examples of improved organisation financial performance due to practising lean are not as easily seen. Probably because the use of loosely synchronised lean tools do not yield expected results.
This program is about building the core guiding principles of what a production operation should aim to achieve. Then every hurdle experienced is solved and converted into a standardised work or tool to be used to maintain the system .
We will start from the science behind Lean and delve into why the tools were created and how to adopt them for a type of operation. This will lead us to start with tools that will yield the best bottom line results and what needs to be done to maintain the improvement. While making sure that improvements actually show up in the measurements that we are using to keep a check on our performance.
Lean is a systems approach and hence the focus is on optimising the system out put and not on local efficiency. We will begin will tools for Muri & Mura and then mention the tools for Muda.
Most of daily management is about Muda wastes . So how does one quantify these wastes and what does value stream management show do .
In the program we will focus on understanding the cycle from order to delivery and what tools should be used to make sure the manufacturing is reducing cost.
A supplier will need to make use of different tools than an assembler and this program is about setting up an lean operation by selecting and practising tools that will help standardise the work and allow for low cost execution.
Purpose : To introduce the basic assumption on which lean was developed and the guiding the principles that drive lean . The tools that were developed to be applied to achieve the basic aim of lean. One should be able to constantly be driven in the direction of the improvement and capable enough to select the lean tool to apply for better organisation performance.
