Description
Lean 101 is an industry-leading certification program that provides individuals and companies with a comprehensive guide for professional and workforce development that is in line with Manufacturing Industry standards. It involves innovative ways of thinking with real hands-on applications, leading to improved results. Lean is a smart way to do business that can result in many benefits for companies that practice its components.
Among the benefits:
- Identify wastes and improve efficiency
- Can standardize process and practices in your organization
- Helps demonstrate to customers, suppliers, and others that your organization is using best practices to improve the experience of working with your firm
- Can result in happier and more content employees
Target Audience:
Company leadership, supervisors, and key line personnel.
Delivery Method:
1-day class using a Lego airplane simulation process to help the understanding of these principles:
- Excellent method to break down paradigms
- Start with a key group that needs to have support from ownership \ management
- Transforms current state to owners of the process and shared responsibility for their key areas
- Visual, hands-on demonstration of how changes can improve productivity
- Raises awareness level of what to look for in waste and process improvements Helps to break down employees’ natural resistance to change
- Employees involved in the simulation understand why lean production methodologies are necessary
- Removal of fears regarding change while encouraging them to identify non-value added activity
Participants operate six simulated workstations along the assembly line in their imaginary aircraft plant. The four-phase simulation begins with participants producing airplanes using a traditional plant layout. In phases two and three, they redesign their work area into a cellular layout and learn to utilize one-piece workflow with a pull system. In the final phase, they experience the concepts of a flexible workforce and load leveling. Supplier problems, labor skills, deadlines, quality control, and other real-life situations have been incorporated into each phase of the simulation. Each phase includes time for comments and discussion.
Learning outcomes:
Teaches the following advanced manufacturing practices:
- The benefits of cellular manufacturing over traditional plant layouts
- The effects of rapid throughput with traditional manufacturing
- Work-in-progress as a manageable asset
- Inventory risks
- Independent cross training
- One-piece workflow with a pull system
Delivery Method:
Lecture/Group participation. Participants will receive training a full training manual; a laminated card with key points and certification from the Nebraska MEP and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
