Introductory information - 16 min
This section discusses the philosophy of Lean Manufacturing, its definition, history, and development. It highlights the differences between the Lean approach and traditional production methods, emphasizing how Lean tools help eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and benefit organizations. It also describes how Lean evolved from a concept used in automotive production to a universal process management strategy applied across various industries.
Value and wastes - 1 h 16 min
The "Value and Waste" section addresses essential aspects of managing value and identifying waste in business processes. It covers the Taiichi Ohno method, overproduction, idle time, transportation, processing waste, operational waste, inventory, quality defects, and underutilized staff potential. The emphasis is on eliminating waste to improve efficiency and quality in operations.
Value Stream Mapping - 49 min
The "Value Stream Mapping" section emphasizes the introduction and application of VSM for analyzing and enhancing processes. It covers stream selection, mapping the current state, envisioning the future, and developing an implementation plan for Lean Manufacturing. The objective is to streamline operations by identifying inefficiencies and optimizing workflows.
The tools of Lean Manufacturing - 42 min
The "Tools of Lean Manufacturing" section focuses on key techniques for optimizing production processes. These include takt time (synchronizing production with demand), one-piece flow, cellular manufacturing, and the Kanban delivery system.
TPM - Total Productive Maintenance - 1 h 32 min
The "TPM Total Productive Maintenance" section outlines strategies for maximizing equipment efficiency and minimizing downtime. It includes the definition of TPM and the stages of Autonomous Maintenance (from 0 to 7) and investigates key metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and other progress measures. The emphasis is on involving employees in proactive maintenance to enhance operational reliability and productivity.
SMED - Single Minute Exchange of Dies - 1 h 8 min
The "SMED Single Minute Exchange of Die" section focuses on techniques for reducing equipment changeover times. It introduces SMED, describes the tool, explains the step-by-step process, and provides practical implementation examples. The goal is to enhance flexibility and efficiency in production by minimizing downtime during transitions.
Kaizen - continuous improvement - 24 min
The "Kaizen—Continuous Improvement" section introduces the concept of Kaizen and its role in fostering ongoing process enhancements. It provides a step-by-step guide to implementing the Kaizen methodology, focusing on creating a culture of incremental and continuous progress.
Lean Training Tool Kit - 3 min
This section highlights the benefits of the training tool GET LEAN, a simulation game replicating production processes based on Lean Management principles. The game allows participants to learn Lean tools practically, such as the 5S methodology, Kanban systems, and single-piece flow, focusing on waste elimination and process optimization. Its interactive format engages employees, strengthens teamwork, develops skills, and supports organizational transformation towards improved efficiency and customer satisfaction.
