• Core Lean Principles:
Understand the fundamentals of Lean thinking, including concepts such as value creation, waste elimination, continuous improvement, and process flow.
• Value Stream Mapping:
Learn how to analyze value stream maps to visualize processes, identify bottlenecks, and pinpoint waste.
• Computer Simulation for Process Analysis:
Gain hands-on experience using computer simulation to model processes and test Lean improvements in a risk-free environment.
• Lean Tools and Techniques:
Explore practical Lean tools such as 5S, Continuous Improvement, and Poka-Yoke.
• Data-Driven Decision Making:
Learn how to measure key performance metrics (e.g., cycle time, throughput, work-in-process) and use simulation data to make informed decisions for process improvements.
• Problem Solving and Continuous Improvement:
Develop problem-solving skills by identifying inefficiencies and experimenting with incremental changes, then evaluating the impact of these changes through simulation.
• Application to Real-World Scenarios:
Translate simulation insights into actionable strategies that can be implemented in participants’ work environments, fostering a culture of ongoing improvement.
Overall, the workshop provides a practical, interactive learning experience that equips participants with both the theoretical background and the hands-on skills needed to boost productivity using Lean thinking.
