  • What is JIM and why is it needed?

  • What is a Job Breakdown Sheet?

  • Why is it important to audit?

  • In a predefined workplaces a Standard Worksheet, Job Breakdown sheet and audit sheet will be developed

  • Duration: 3 days

Lean Layout for cell creation

  • With a mixed team (different level, different shifts) a lean cell will be designed and where possible implemented

  • Day 1:  Introduction, 7 Wastes, Activity Sampling, Calculate Takt Time, Process Map, Holmes Cell (simulation)

  • Day 2: Build & Test Mock-Up of Cell, Detail design for Cell

  • Day 3: PDCA for cells – Design, Build, Test, Learn

  • Day 4: Detail optimum layout - Material feeds and Poke-Yokes

  • Day 5: Final test, Document workshop, Presentation and tidy-up

  • Every Day:  Communicate to other employees, especially night shift and Management Review

  • Duration: 5 days


Total Productive Maintenance

  • For a predefined machine/ cell a team of your operators and maintenance technicians  will develop Point of use stations (after having done a basic 5S action), a TPM board, a check sheet for autonomous maintenance, a check sheet for preventive maintenance and an audit sheet.

  • What is the meaning of the maintenance metrics MTTR  and MTBF?

  • What is OEE and how should it be used to improve?  

  • Duration: 3 days


Value Stream Mapping

  • Is a 100% shopfloor activity developed for management team members to learn to see the opportunities

  • First a Current State VSM will be developed for a product family you define.

  • Then the Future State VSM is built showing the improvement opportunities.

  • Duration: 2 days

Process Mapping for office processes

  • As there are also many improvement opportunities in office and administration processes, this workshop will reveal the waste in your current way of working and help you identifying the improvements.

  • Participants are all the people involved in this particular process.

  • Both Current and Future Process Maps will be developed.

  • Duration: 2 days

Visual management

  • You select an area/ line/ cell and with a team of mixed level (team members, supervisor, engineer, ...) we develop a cell board and a business process (Who updates?, How is this data driving to improvement?, How often to update? , How to audit?, ...).

  • Duration: 1 day

Level Load: Heijunka, Kanban systems

  • Advisable is to have your Current State Value Stream Map developed up front (see 1 week Lean basic training)

  • You learn how to create and control Level Schedules and the benefits of a Level Load:

    • Stability for Cell

    • Improved productivity

    • Reduced Changeover Time

    • Reduced Inventory

  • What are your Runners, Repeaters and Strangers?

  • How to develop a Heijunka board?

  • Duration: 1 day
