Lean 101
  • In this full-day training you will learn the principles of Lean Manufacturing and how to apply them to your business.
  • During the simulation exercises - as a member of the production team for Buzz Electronics - you'll apply Lean concepts such as standardized work, visual signals, batch-size reduction, pull systems, and more.
  • Experience firsthand how Lean improves quality, reduces cycle time, improves delivery performance, reduces work in progress (WIP), and enables Buzz Electronics to show a profit.  Contact us to setup a training.


Principles of Lean Office
  • Lean Office is a half-day training where participants learn Lean definitions and techniques to increase efficiency within the office.
  • By the end of the workshop, the participants have identified the examples of the 8 Lean wastes in their own office, some possible Lean solutions, and the steps they will need to ask before bringing about change in the office.  Contact us to setup a training.


Value Stream Mapping
  • Learning the language of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) icons and Lean concepts enables you to strategically find the various opportunities for improvement in any type of process.
  • You'll use the powerful Value Stream Mapping (VSM) tool to create a current-state map for a simulated manufacturing process.
  • Next you analyze the manufacturing process current state, find the non-value added activities, and then draw a future-state map for the manufacturing process that eliminates those activities. You will also develop a plan for attacking those non-value added activities.  Contact us to setup a training.


Foundations in 5s
  • The 5s System (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain) improves workplace organization, standardization, and safety.
  • You will learn the concepts of the 5S System and the process through which your company can continually apply them to transform a cluttered, disorganized area to a clean and organized workplace.  Contact us to setup a training.


Pull/ Kanban Systems
  • This half-day training explores the process of designing and implementing Pull/ Kanban Systems through classroom instruction and exercises.
  • You will learn how to eliminate waste in handling, storing, and getting your products to your customers by making only what they want, when they want it.  Contact us to setup a training.


Setup Reduction/ Quick Changeover
  • In this half-day training, you will learn the principles of Setup Reduction and the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) system developed by Shigeo Shingo and designed to dramatically reduce or eliminate changeover time, often at little or no cost.
  • Apply the four-step Changeover Improvement Process to achieve Setup Reduction in a life-like simulation exercise. By the end of the workshop you'll experience first-hand how reduced costs, reduced setup times and increased machine capacity can be achieved at the same time.  Contact us to setup a training.


Total Productive Maintenance
  • In this half-day training you will learn about Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and how it is related to capacity.
  • Learn how to apply 5S techniques to your equipment and see the ten-fold positive effect they have.
  • Learn about the six major equipment-related losses - how to find and eliminate them.
  • Learn what causes 75% of equipment breakdowns.
  • You will learn how to eliminate waste in handling, storing, and getting your products to your customers by making only what they want, when they want it.  Contact us to setup a training.

  • Learn how to observe a process and then analyze it according to Takt time.
  • Learn how to construct a work standard and develop a work layout that will ensure adherence to the standard.  Contact us to setup a training.


Cellular Flow
  • In this half-day workshop you will learn the process to create Cellular Flow in the workplace.
  • Learn how to group products, establish a takt time, review the work sequence, combine work to balance the process, and then design the cell layout.  Contact us to setup a training.


Lean Product Development
  • Half-day workshop to identify opportunities to improve speed to market and reduce product costs in the new product development process.
  • Create an assessment of your own new product process.
