Training - Continuous Flow, One piece flow, Kanban, Pull Production, Just In Time

in house, 1 day

 
Training’s goal:
Through this Continuous FLOW Processing training (koutei no nagare ka), EXEGENS® helps you understand the importance of continuously producing goods and services (continuous flow) in order to remove the stagnation in the labor in/ between the steps of the process, by reducing "the lead time" asked by the customers and by using the minimum of the resources (lead time: the time between the acceptance of an order to loading / supplying goods or services to the customer and the actual production  activity) time. "Cycle Time" must be balanced for each operation in the processes. ( "cycle time": the production time "cycle time" is often confused with the production time "lead time”. Cycle time is the time taken to make any particular repetitive activity). The management of all companies isn′t willing to take unscheduled activity interruptions.
The participants to this training will learn how to eliminate the losses of the working hours in the processes they are involved. They will be explained the observation ways, the data collection way, the types of data analysis and how to design a more efficient work flow. The continuous flow is the basic objective of the Lean: to have a constant flow of materials throughout the organization and to meet the exact needs of the market with a very low level of stocks running (WIP stocks).
The Continuous Flow is usually used to refer to the One Piece Flow Cell Organization (Cellular Manufacturing), respecting the principles of the Pull Production and of the JIT (Just-In-Time) system and applying the principles of continuous improvement - Kaizen. The basic tools are: Standard Work, Identifying Waste, Process Capacity Tables, Takt Time design and analysis of different scenarios regarding different volumes used in cells. The cells are connected together by kanban / Kanban Control (labels) to provide a continuous flow down the process.
 
Summary of the training session:
1) Activities with value-added and non value-added.
2) What is the cell organization?
3) Basic elements of the cell design.
4) The concept of "pull production".
5) Implementing and Managing the Pull Production.
6) The extension of the Pull Production at the suppliers level (Lean Supplier Management).
7) Cell Organization and Autonomous Meintenance.
8) Continuous-Flow Activity Boards and One Point Lesson.
9) Continuous improving and standardizing with Just In Time.
10) What is kanban?
11) Functions, roles and types of kanban.
12) Designing kanban, kanban circuit and continuous improvement through kanban.
