Solutions 2009 - (Page 49) 49 Kaizen Facilitator Training Kaizen events are the vehicle to implementing Lean tools and concepts. Kaizen events are well-scoped, focused improvement efforts that utilize a team-based approach to eliminating wastes. This course is designed to teach a standard Kaizen process that can be used for implementing any Lean tool, such as quick changeover, 5-S, cellular, process layout and total productive maintenance. Objectives and topics include: • • • • • • Overview of Kaizen Preparation for a Kaizen event Standard process for a three-to five-day Kaizen event Forms, templates and tools for quickly collecting and analyzing data Preparation of a final report for management Estimate of the impact of the event May 27 . . . . . . . . . . . .

Consider it if you have applied Lean in your manufacturing processes and want to see further improvements; want to apply the powerful Lean improvement tools in a non-manufacturing industry setting; or want to improve your business operations. Up to 75 percent of opportunities for eliminating waste can be found in areas other than manufacturing. In this two-day course, participants will learn how to turn office and support areas into efficient, effective and predictable operations. With a combination of classroom training, real-world examples and handson practice, discover how to identify and eliminate or reduce the waste in administrative processes. First, participants will learn Lean definitions, along with Lean tools and techniques such as value stream mapping for the office. By the end of the second day, participants will develop a value stream map that identifies the most significant improvement opportunities.

Chattanooga Course fee -- $325 Value Stream Mapping Event Value stream mapping focuses improvement efforts and pinpoints solutions that will give the most value for money, time and energy. Value stream mapping creates a material and information flow map of a product family. A typical value stream includes customer orders entering the production control schedule, raw materials entering the facility, manufacturing processes and finished goods leaving the shipping dock. A current state map will show where time and money are being wasted — excessive inventory, processes delayed due to lack of information, or unnecessary downtime for production equipment exists. A future state map identifies the desirable destination and helps determine how to get there. Call (888) 763-7439 for course dates, fees and to schedule this event at your facility.
