Lean Manufacturing & Business Improvement

Overview

Lean manufacturing helps to provide more value for the customers at a lower cost and shorter time. Lean manufacturing cuts the extra steps between the customer order and delivering the product, resulting in faster delivery and less waste. Lean manufacturing training teaches you how to continuously seek out for waste resources and once they are found, how to eliminate them throughout the entire enterprise and chain value. Every business activity is considered an operation system. Therefore, the concept of cutting out wastes can be applied to any activity in order to accomplish a greater performance.

Organizations that focus on lean manufacturing understand customer value and focus key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste.

A lean manufacturing approach should take management from optimizing separate technologies, assets, and vertical departments to optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets and departments to customers. Eliminating waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems. Organizations are then in a position to better respond to changing customer desires with high variety, high quality, low cost, and with very fast throughput times.

This 3-day B. Khebra’s Lean manufacturing training program covers the concepts and techniques of Lean and Lean Management and that how you can apply those in your own business, it also provides both strategic and practical insights into:

  •     System performance

  •     Identifying the sources of waste and eliminating them

  •     Eliminating sources of variability

  •     In-depth understanding and applying of the fundamentals of operations management
