Training Information
With the Lean Management Basic Seminar we want to make sure that you understand the lean principles and get a comprehensive overview of the common lean methods.
The lean management philosophy takes a systematic approach and relies on pragmatic techniques to avoid waste along the entire value chain. The systematic analysis of weak points and the use of field-proven lean methods sustainably improve the value streams of a company.
Our experienced trainers will teach you the topics in a practical and targeted manner.
There are 7 types of waste that can occur in daily business:
- Overproduction – There are finished parts that are not used for the time being.
- Stocks – Material or semi-finished products that are not currently needed for production.
- Defects – When the quality of the work or the products is worse than the customer or the subsequent processes require it. (Examples: rework, scrap, missing part, wrong part)
- Movement – Movements extend the work process. (Example: too long picking and walking paths)
- Incorrect processes – Incorrect work processes in which the sequence of the individual process steps is not optimized lead to waste.
- Waiting – Unused time if materials, machines or information are not available to the employee.
- Transport – All movements of the material / sub-products that have no value-added activity.
