Class Name Lean6 101: Lean for Job Shops
Description A Lean Enterprise produces more with existing resources by eliminating non-value added activities. Manufacturers are facing increased worldwide competition and the stakes are high. The winners in this competition work to eliminate overproduction caused by traditional scheduling systems and only make what customers want when they want it. Lean establishes a systematic approach to eliminating these wastes and creating flow throughout the whole company. It also helps you develop and implement a long-term plan to streamline your operations for success.

This workshop teaches the principles of Lean Manufacturing for a discrete, non-repetitive environment and how to apply them. While participating in the simulation exercises as a member of the M & M Pneumatics job shop, you will utilize the Lean concepts such as batch-size reduction, visual signals, standardizing work and many others. By the end of the class students will have converted a convoluted job shop environment into one that reacts to each customer’s specific demand while improving on time delivery, quality and showing a significant improvement to the profit margin by identification and elimination of waste.
