The Lean Way Course 1 – The Lean Work System

ils_leanThis course defines lean operations and provides a technical foundation for the basic lean toolkit. Participants learn, through a progressive series of hands-on simulations, how lean production integrates operations structure, management systems, work strategies, and people to enhance the organization’s value creation and delivery.

Participants apply the key tools that support lean transformation, including workplace organization (5S), workstation design (motion economy, ergonomics, and safety), visual control, standardized work, setup reduction, and source quality methods in a realistic scaled work cell. They also learn the key principles underlying pull systems from a production control and management perspective. They learn the functionality of different types of pull systems and the use of visual control boards.

Although our lecture will keep you interested and engaged, we insure learning through hands-on exercises. These include direct application of the entire suite of lean tools at the system level using our table-top learning factory and at the workstation level where you design, document, and execute a lean process. You will experience the functionality and understand the performance of all major classes of pull systems including CONWIP through a series of discovery learning simulations. And you will design the structure of pull systems for cases relevant to manufacturing and service industries.

Price (public seminar): $7,500 per person for the 3-course series.
