Lean Setup Reduction
Workshop
Most likely, setups are one of the main reasons
for making large batches, so setup reduction is key to moving
away from batch processing and achieving a true flow production
system. While there maybe significant challenges, setup reduction
will normally create some of your biggest gains in going Lean.
And, the teams that work on this process find it to be extremely
rewarding. This is where they most likely hit a home run!
 |
This one-day course is an excellent
way to get your team initiated and on track. Classroom
instruction alternates with shop floor exercises to
identify and apply the lessons learned to a practical
setup reduction situation. Techniques for setup reduction
will be presented along with examples through case studies
of actual applications.
