TRAINING & WORKSHOPS: LEAN THINKING
Setup Reduction (1 day)
Description:
Setup reduction is a set of concepts and techniques
designed to reduce the non-productive time changing
equipment over from producing one product to producing
another. Lengthy setup times drive optimization toward
a reduced number of setups, larger batch sizes, and,
therefore, larger buffering work-in-process inventories
and poor process flow and performance. This workshop
introduces the tools and techniques of setup reduction
| Outline: |
- Lean Thinking fundamentals
- Flow, inventory,
and setup reduction
- Process analysis
and improvement planning
- Setup reduction
methodologies
- Setup reduction
concepts
- Application examples
- Associated techniques
|
Target Audience and Outcomes:
While setup reduction concepts are universal, their
application is generally tailored to the shop floor.
This workshop is optimized to manufacturing shop floor
team members. Company lean practitioners, and supervisors
and managers of manufacturing operations will also benefit
from this overview of setup reduction techniques.
Notes:
Participants receive a three-ring binder with all presentation
slides. A videotape on setup reduction is included.
This workshop is best conducted as kickoff training
to a facilitated hands-on shop floor implementation.
