Event Details

Learn how linking and balancing process steps can reduce process lead times by as much as 95%, Work-in-Process by 90%, and floor space by 50-75% while increasing productivity by 40% or more.

This hands-on course teaches how to link and balance manufacturing operations to reduce lead times, minimize work in process, optimize floor space usage and improve productivity. The instructor leads the class through the 5-step process for designing and implementing work cells using a live simulation. This process applies to both assembly and machine applications.

Completing the LEAN Principles for the Job Shop is a pre-requisite for this course.

• Minimize part movement and inventory
• Learn the eight wastes and the five step cell design process
• Reduce lead, cycle and waiting times
• Increase productivity and quality performance
• Walk away with tools for cell design and kaizen
• Optimize floor space
• Improve efficiency of cross-training
• Increase communication and flexibility
