One-Day Lean Overview

ONE-DAY LEAN OVERVIEW

Join us on September 11th or October 16th for a fast-paced, interactive workshop that offers a hands-on look at Lean tools and the principles behind them. Through the Buzz Electronics simulation, you’ll see Lean concepts come to life while connecting them to Plan-Do-Check-Act thinking and employee engagement. This workshop is perfect for team members new to Lean, as well as those looking to deepen their knowledge and build confidence in leading others on the path to process improvement.

During this one-day session, we will cover:

• The foundations of Lean thinking: Respect for People and Continuous Improvement.
• How to work as a team to improve a production process in real time.
• Lean basics like the 8 Wastes, Value-Added Activity, and kaizen.
• Common Lean tools like 5S, SMED, Pull Systems, and Visual Controls.
• How to understand Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) thinking to rapidly identify and solve problems as a team.
