Lean Manufacturing White Belt

Description

This is a one-day interactive, hands-on, simplicity driven workshop that makes lean thinking and lean manufacturing principles easy to understand through a "learning by doing" simulation.

At the end of the workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify the seven wastes
• Determine 'value added' and 'non‑value added'
• Describe the impact of facility layout and set-up time on production
• Calculate takt time and describe a "pull" type control system

From Wikipedia: Takt time is the average time between the start of production of one unit and the start of production of the next unit, when these production starts are set to match the rate of customer demand.

Agenda

• Introductions & Icebreaker
