Mistake-Proofing
We all encounter many mistake-proofing techniques over the course of a day, yet few companies use these same error-proofing concepts in their manufacturing processes.  Book this workshop and your organization will learn simple, inexpensive, yet highly effective techniques to eliminate failures and the resulting defects. To make sure your mistake-proofing efforts are focused on the biggest problems with your products and processes, supplement this with the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Workshop. 

(1 day, 2 days to include specific company applications.)

Set-Up Reduction
Apply the set-up reduction techniques you will learn in this workshop and gain immediate benefits. Learn how you can increase capacity, eliminate start-up waste, reduce labor costs, and become more flexible and responsive to your customer’s needs.  Work through a simulation to see the benefits of reducing set-up times first-hand. 

(1 day, 3 days to include application to a specific company process.) 

Downtime Reduction
Learn how to define and measure all sources of downtime including set-ups, material changes, breakdowns, and even shift changes. Eliminating these sources of downtime and others will increase capacity, reduce labor costs, and increase flexibility and responsiveness to your customer’s needs.

(1 day, 3 days to include application to a specific company process.)


 

5Ss
A place for everything and everything in its place – this should be the motto for all organizations  When things are left dirty and out of place, the operation suffers – it becomes unsafe; it slows down; and it produces at lower quality levels.  Implementing the 5Ss starts with keeping only what’s needed in the workplace but having designated places for everything that is needed.  It also involves housekeeping and housekeeping prevention programs to keep the area clean with everyone involved.
 
(1 day, 2 days to apply to a specific area.)

Screening Experiments
Plackett-Burman and Taguchi screening experiment techniques allow the experimenter to efficiently and effectively sort out the process variables that are critical to controlling the output of a process.  This workshop covers the basics of designed experiments, how to set up screening experiments, and how to analyze the results from screening experiments.

(2 days, 3 days to include application to a specific company problem.)
