Why Lean Manufacturing?
A new approach for Production Management
The Lean management system (founded on the Toyota Production System) is a management philosophy that shortens the time between the customer order and the product shipment by eliminating all inefficiencies (sources of waste).
This is ultimately reflected in terms of quality, delivery, cost, and greater team morale, making a company capable to overcome bigger challenges and their competitors.
Workshop Highlights:
This 3 days workshop is a practical way to present the Lean principles concepts and its implementation in the shop floor (Gemba) from our host plant.
This program aims to develop participants, to really understand the lean principles (know why), and systems which support the behaviors of an operational excellence enterprise, the structure and deployment strategy for an initial phase of a lean transformation, which systems must be deployed and which triggers must be developed, explaining how to measure the deployment based on behaviors, which will deliver good process and results in soft and hard benefits.
TRAINING ACTIVITIES
Real Value Stream Mapping
A powerful method to analyze & Identify the main opportunities from a process
Shop floor (Gemba) Activities
Learn the Lean methods with practical team activities conducted on the shop floor.
Improvement Planning and Management

Training length: 24 hrs (3zile)
Who should particioate?
Manageri ale departamentelor operaționale și de suport, niveluri medii din producție, calitate și inginerie, practicanți Lean.
Recommended industries:
-
-
Manufacturers: Automotive, Electrical / Electronic, Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverage, Printing, Plastics, among others.
-
Why participate?
- All exercises and applications are focused in real shop floor operations.
- Learn and receive direct feedback about Lean management from an experienced instructor
- Receive nurturing feedback from external participants from other industries
- Development of skills that can only be achieved by intensive practice and coaching.
Restrictions: External participants will sign a non-conflict of interest agreement, assuring they are not from a competitor company for the host company.
1) Identify key opportunities using Value Stream Mapping to achieve continuous and global improvement Lean
2) Run and manage Kaizen cycles to improve quality, cost, delivery, and safety with the help of the Lean philosophy
3) Establish Lean production methods and teams for long-lasting performance
