Lean Manufacturing

We realize that manufacturers are at different levels of experience regarding understanding the principles associated with Lean Manufacturing. We also recognize the importance of training and skill building that is necessary to support the transformation of your business to a lean enterprise.

MAMTC´s "knowledge first" approach ensures that management and staff fully understand lean concepts and recognize will be necessary to ensure the short- and long-term benefits experienced as a result of implementing lean strategies. You can access this knowledge and training through:

MAMTC PUBLIC SEMINARS

One way to take advantage of MAMTC´s Lean related awareness programs is through our public seminars programs. Each semester we offer lean-related seminars for manufacturers in multiple sites in Kansas. For a current schedule of current public offerings of Lean related seminars, go to "Current Lean Public Seminars".

CUSTOMIZED ON-SITE TRAINING PROGRAMS

MAMTC recognizes your need for lean training when and where you need it. The full inventory of MAMTC lean-related seminars is available for in-house delivery, customized to fit your schedule, your needs, and your business. Customized, in-house programs focusing on the major tenets of Lean Manufacturing include:

Principles of Lean Manufacturing with Live Simulation

This seminar provides a concise introduction to the principles of Lean Manufacturing and includes thought-provoking class discussion and hands-on simulations. You´ll learn about the fundamental of Lean Manufacturing ­ visual controls, set-up reduction, batch size reduction and others that will facilitate your successful move from traditional mass production to Lean Manufacturing. The highlight of this seminar is a comprehensive, interactive simulation designed to show first-hand the effects of Lean related principles in comparison to traditional manufacturing processes.

How to Perform Value Stream Mapping to Identify and Eliminate Waste

When you remove wasted time and effort in your production flow, your performance improvement skyrockets, now learn how to apply a practical tool to zero in on your unique productivity killers. In this seminar youšll learn how to create a map of your entire production process to make waste visible, develop an action plan to successfully remove obstacles to flow, and more.

Visual Workplace (5S)

5S is a method used by all workers...front-line to management...to improve workplace safety, reduce waste, simplify work processes, improve equipment maintenance and trouble shooting, and ensure product quality. This seminar will address how to understand the purpose, benefits, and process of 5S implementation, linking 5S to company strategies, forming 5S teams, and performing target area scans to assess current conditions and problems.

Quick Changeover/Set-Up Reduction

Relentless pressures on the shop floor to eliminate waste and increase production flexibility make quick changeover and reduction in setup times necessities. This seminar delivers a step-by-step approach to accomplishing this goal ­ and, in many cases, reducing setup time by 80% or more.

How to Design and Implement Cellular and Flow Manufacturing

Lean manufacturers moving to a cell environment face many challenging decisions. Which products can be converted? What are the best timing techniques? Is it wise to test cell design with simulations? This seminar will answer these and many other questions as you walk through the design and implementation of a work cell.

Pull/Kanban

To achieve a truly lean enterprise, your work flow must be level so each process produces only the exact quantity needed ­ and no more. In this seminar you´ll learn how to quickly implement a pull/Kanban system to change how production flows through your plant and reap the rewards of reduced inventory, shorter lead times, and improved response time.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

A productivity maintenance improvement methodology designed to maximize equipment efficiency, TPM involves everyone from shop floor to top executives. Support team based activities are aimed at plant wide goals of zero losses and improved efficiencies. In this seminar attendees will learn the principles of TPM and how to implement this proactive and systematic approach to making repairs and checks. Topics include the critical role your people play, the development of your TPM game plan, implementation how-to´s, and much more.
