Lean Concepts
Lean Manufacturing
Through our experience in Six Sigma deployment we at SSC have had first hand exposure to the power of Lean Manufacturing and how Lean concepts compliment the six sigma application. Through Workplace Organization and Lean Enterprise analysis your processes can take efficiency to the next level, beyond Six Sigma quality improvements, and explore the financial benefits of inventory reduction and one-piece flow concepts. The Lean Enterprise is an organization that strives to eliminate the 7 elements of waste (Over production, Inventory, Processing, Correction, Motion, Waiting, Conveyance), in all aspects of the business decreasing non-value added activity. This systematic effort in reducing waste will focus your organization on optimizing value added activity thus dramatically decreasing lead times, increasing inventory turns and ultimately resulting in increased profit margin.
We at SSC have aligned our Six Sigma application with Lean efforts very successfully in the past and are please to offer the following Lean courses to compliment your current Six Sigma initiative or as a direct Lean initiative to improve your corporations bottom line.
Workplace Organization Workshop
A comprehensive implementation of the 5s (sifting, sorting, sweep and wash, spic and span, self discipline) concept designed to minimize classroom lecture and focus on site implementation of 5s for a pre-selected area in your organization. Designed to achieve the maximum return on investment the Workplace Organization Workshop will educate your team on the primary concepts of lean manufacturing followed by a detailed discussion on workplace organization as the foundation for all successful lean implementations. The workshop then proceeds to the floor to put into practice the 5s concepts and make a significant impact in the selected area. This workshop is designed to split 1/3 lecture and 2/3 implementation with hands on instruction from start to finish. Overall length of the workshop is subject to class size and the scope and condition of the selected areas.
Lean Enterprise Workshop
The next step beyond workplace organization is in the understanding and implementation of Lean enterprise concepts that document the current value stream; provide lean analysis and specific action items to minimize non-value added activity, decreasing inventory levels, and lead times within your process. Through classroom instruction and hands on application this workshop leads your team through a step-by-step application of lean metrics such as inventory levels, cycle times, line balance analysis, and movement of material and labor motion, setting the baselines for your current state. Through instruction in lean concepts your team will then develop a future state of the selected process and document a specific action plan to achieve a lean environment minimizing inventory levels and maximizing value added activity through the systematic elimination of waste in your process. This workshop is designed to include as much implementation activity as possible and is approximately 1/2 lecture and 1/2 on floor activity. Overall length of the workshop is subject to class size and the scope and condition of the selected areas.
