Days: 1
Prerequisites: None
Course Outline:

Chapter 1


• What is Value Stream Mapping and why do we do it?

• Steps to VSM

• Draw current situation

• Direct process observations

Quick Change-Over
Days: 1
Prerequisites: None

Course Outline:

Defining: Quick Change-Over

In this training the participants will be trained on all the topics below and participate in the actual creation of a Value Stream Map, Process Layout (Material Flow), Single Minute Exchange of Dies, etc.

One of the key elements of this training is understanding time and motion. Time and motion is the key to quick change-over. The participants will understand the importance of time and motion in relation to Quick Change-Over.

 Value Stream Mapping (controllable / non-controllable)
 Total Productive Maintenance -TPM (Predictive / Preventive)
 Process Layout / Plant Layout
 Kaizen Events
 Just In Time Manufacturing - JIT
 Single Minute Exchange of Die - SMED
 Overall Equipment Effectiveness - OEE


Visual Control / 5S
Days: 2.5
Prerequisites: None

Course Outline:

What is Lean?

 Lean is a concept that involves the removal of waste from every step in the production chain - waste of energy, motion, time, and resources.
*7 types of waste

 Lean keeps cost down so that companies can remain competitive.

Pre-requisites: (Detailed)

 Communication
 Teamwork
 Employee Empowerment
 Management Support
 Training

How does Lean Manufacturing work? (Detailed)

Step 1 Define waste
Step 2 Identify the source
Step 3 Plan for the elimination of waste
Step 4 Establish permanent controls to prevent reoccurrence

5S
-Textbook definition
5S - define every step of this process
-Sort (hit lightly on the 7 types of waste - prepare for lean overview)
*Red Tag Hold Area
-Set in order
*organization, labeling, structure, etc
-Standardized
*work instructions, job descriptions, methods, procedures, etc
-Shine
*tools, techniques, visual displace examples
-Sustain
*Management Responsibility, Tools & Methods to sustain

Additional Information: What will happen if you do not sustain? What will happen if you stop after shine? What will happen if you do not build a system that is understood and standardized? What will happen without management support? What will happen without resources and time to implement?

Visual Controls -Textbook definition
Types of Visual Controls
-Pictures
-Colors
-Lights
-Sounds / Noise
-Shapes / Sizes
-Location

When, where, why and how to use visual controls:
When: whenever possible for clarification / understanding (Barriers: Language, Color Blindness, Special Needs, etc.)
-Examples: Color Blindness, Statistics on illiteracy, etc.
Where: universal system, it can be used anywhere (examples: home, play, office, etc.)
Why: Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery
Makes the operators job easier
Visual Work Place - define
Easier to formulate controls for required customer documentation
How: by using a standardized method for implementation that is used in the office and on the production floor (repetition and consistency)
Who: is responsible for visual controls?
-Everyone is responsible for visual controls

 

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
Days: 1
Prerequisites: None

Brief Course Outline:

Monitoring & Improving Manufacturing Processes

Reduction of Complex Production Problems

OEE Factors
1. Availability
2. Performance
3. Quality

Six Big Losses
1. Breakdown
2. Setup & Adjustments
3. Small Stops
4. Reduced Speed
5. Startup Rejects
6. Production Rejects

OEE = A x P x Q
