SUMMARY:Lean Simulation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing processes have revolutionized the way that many leading enterprises deliver products to their customers and manage their supplier relationships. A key ingredient to achieve sustained operational excellence is an organization immersed in Lean thinking. \nManex’s Lean Simulation Workshop (LSW) combines classroom content with a hands-on simulation of a production facility\, educating participants on using the Lean principles to enhance productivity. Designed for all levels of manufacturing personnel\, the LSW teaches the fundamentals of Lean\, while providing a necessary conduit from concept and methodology to implementation on a shop floor. \nRegister Online\nThe LSW provides participants with the launch point for engaging the elements necessary to achieve and accelerate continuous improvement\, productivity\, profitability\, and bottom-line impact using Lean. Our projects average more than 600% ROI – that’s a $6 return for every dollar invested in these activities. \nThe Power of Lean \n\n90% reduction in lead time (cycle time)\n50% increase in productivity\n80% reduction in work-in process\n80% improvement in quality\n75% reduction in space utilization\n\nApproach \nManex’s LSW is a full-day session that introduces the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing and incorporates three rounds of a manufacturing simulation\, blending knowledge with a hands-on environment needed to reinforce the concepts and maximize the learning experience. \nOur experts use an application-oriented approach to learning and applying Lean throughout your organization. This practice-driven session focuses on the tools\, processes\, and thinking to structure Lean methods in your company. The day is designed to help you build an understanding of Lean concepts and principles and learn how to apply them to various business processes through the simulations. \nAll of our experts are senior level managers with an average of 20 years of in-depth manufacturing experience. You will have the opportunity to discuss implementation issues with them and learn first-hand from their experience. \nClassroom \nOur Lean experts bring in-depth manufacturing experience and real-world examples while providing one-on-one personal attention for each participant. Participants gain a detailed overview of the different Lean improvement tools and methods and the structural elements of an integrated production system. \nPresenting the following Lean principles: \n\nCellular Manufacturing\nVisual Factory / Workplace Organization\nValue-added Floor Space\nInventory Reduction\nScrap and Rework Reduction\nLead Time and Changeover Reduction\nStandardized Work\nWorkforce Redeployment\n\nSimulation \nManex’s LSW includes a three-round simulation to enable a much deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the Lean principles and their correlation to continuous improvement activities. \nFor each round of the simulation\, participants are assigned a unique work station on the assembly line of an airplane manufacturer. Complete with parts\, inventory\, quality control\, and incoming customer orders\, the simulation lets participants apply the Lean principles and tools into a real-life production process. \nAfter the first two rounds\, production results are shared. Then\, with coaching from the Manex facilitators\, participants work as a team to refine the manufacturing process\, recommend improvements\, and implement changes for the next round. \nBenefits \n\nLearn how implementing Lean techniques maximizes business results\nPractice using Lean tools in a real-world manufacturing environment\nAcquire the skills necessary to improve productivity immediately\n\nManex projects average more than 600% ROI – that’s a $6 return for every dollar invested in these activities. \n*Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Lean Simulation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing processes have revolutionized the way that many leading enterprises deliver products to their customers and manage their supplier relationships. A key ingredient to achieve sustained operational excellence is an organization immersed in Lean thinking. \nManex’s Lean Simulation Workshop (LSW) combines classroom content with a hands-on simulation of a production facility\, educating participants on using the Lean principles to enhance productivity. Designed for all levels of manufacturing personnel\, the LSW teaches the fundamentals of Lean\, while providing a necessary conduit from concept and methodology to implementation on a shop floor. \nThe LSW provides participants with the launch point for engaging the elements necessary to achieve and accelerate continuous improvement\, productivity\, profitability\, and bottom-line impact using Lean. Our projects average more than 600% ROI – that’s a $6 return for every dollar invested in these activities.\n Register Online \nThe Power of Lean\n\n90% reduction in lead time (cycle time)\n50% increase in productivity\n80% reduction in work-in process\n80% improvement in quality\n75% reduction in space utilization\n\n\n  \nApproach\nManex’s LSW is a full-day session that introduces the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing and incorporates three rounds of a manufacturing simulation\, blending knowledge with a hands-on environment needed to reinforce the concepts and maximize the learning experience.\nOur experts use an application-oriented approach to learning and applying Lean throughout your organization. This practice-driven session focuses on the tools\, processes\, and thinking to structure Lean methods in your company. The day is designed to help you build an understanding of Lean concepts and principles and learn how to apply them to various business processes through the simulations.\nAll of our experts are senior level managers with an average of 20 years of in-depth manufacturing experience. You will have the opportunity to discuss implementation issues with them and learn first-hand from their experience. \n\n  \nBenefits\n\nLearn how implementing Lean techniques maximizes business results\nPractice using Lean tools in a real-world manufacturing environment\nAcquire the skills necessary to improve productivity immediately\n\n\n  \nClassroom\nOur Lean experts bring in-depth manufacturing experience and real-world examples while providing one-on-one personal attention for each participant. Participants gain a detailed overview of the different Lean improvement tools and methods and the structural elements of an integrated production system.\nThe Lean principles presented include: \n\nCellular Manufacturing\nVisual Factory / Workplace Organization\nValue-added Floor Space\nInventory Reduction\nScrap and Rework Reduction\nLead Time and Changeover Reduction\nStandardized Work\nWorkforce Redeployment\n\n  \nSimulation\nManex’s LSW includes a three-round simulation to enable a much deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the Lean principles and their correlation to continuous improvement activities.\nFor each round of the simulation\, participants are assigned a unique work station on the assembly line of an airplane manufacturer. Complete with parts\, inventory\, quality control\, and incoming customer orders\, the simulation lets participants apply the Lean principles and tools into a real-life production process.\nAfter the first two rounds\, production results are shared. Then\, with coaching from the Manex facilitators\, participants work as a team to refine the manufacturing process\, recommend improvements\, and implement changes for the next round. \n*Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Lean Simulation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing processes have revolutionized the way that many leading enterprises deliver products to their customers and manage their supplier relationships. A key ingredient to achieve sustained operational excellence is an organization immersed in Lean thinking. \nManex’s Lean Simulation Workshop (LSW) combines classroom content with a hands-on simulation of a production facility\, educating participants on using the Lean principles to enhance productivity. Designed for all levels of manufacturing personnel\, the LSW teaches the fundamentals of Lean\, while providing a necessary conduit from concept and methodology to implementation on a shop floor. \nThe LSW provides participants with the launch point for engaging the elements necessary to achieve and accelerate continuous improvement\, productivity\, profitability\, and bottom-line impact using Lean. Our projects average more than 600% ROI – that’s a $6 return for every dollar invested in these activities.\nRegister Online\n  \nThe Power of Lean\n\n90% reduction in lead time (cycle time)\n50% increase in productivity\n80% reduction in work-in process\n80% improvement in quality\n75% reduction in space utilization\n\n\n  \nApproach\nManex’s LSW is a full-day session that introduces the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing and incorporates three rounds of a manufacturing simulation\, blending knowledge with a hands-on environment needed to reinforce the concepts and maximize the learning experience.\nOur experts use an application-oriented approach to learning and applying Lean throughout your organization. This practice-driven session focuses on the tools\, processes\, and thinking to structure Lean methods in your company. The day is designed to help you build an understanding of Lean concepts and principles and learn how to apply them to various business processes through the simulations.\nAll of our experts are senior level managers with an average of 20 years of in-depth manufacturing experience. You will have the opportunity to discuss implementation issues with them and learn first-hand from their experience. \n\n  \nBenefits\n\nLearn how implementing Lean techniques maximizes business results\nPractice using Lean tools in a real-world manufacturing environment\nAcquire the skills necessary to improve productivity immediately\n\n\n  \nClassroom\nOur Lean experts bring in-depth manufacturing experience and real-world examples while providing one-on-one personal attention for each participant. Participants gain a detailed overview of the different Lean improvement tools and methods and the structural elements of an integrated production system.\nThe Lean principles presented include: \n\nCellular Manufacturing\nVisual Factory / Workplace Organization\nValue-added Floor Space\nInventory Reduction\nScrap and Rework Reduction\nLead Time and Changeover Reduction\nStandardized Work\nWorkforce Redeployment\n\n  \nSimulation\nManex’s LSW includes a three-round simulation to enable a much deeper and longer-lasting understanding of the Lean principles and their correlation to continuous improvement activities.\nFor each round of the simulation\, participants are assigned a unique work station on the assembly line of an airplane manufacturer. Complete with parts\, inventory\, quality control\, and incoming customer orders\, the simulation lets participants apply the Lean principles and tools into a real-life production process.\nAfter the first two rounds\, production results are shared. Then\, with coaching from the Manex facilitators\, participants work as a team to refine the manufacturing process\, recommend improvements\, and implement changes for the next round. \n*Lunch will be provided.
