Lean manufacturing helps you to look at your operation in a manner that identifies and eliminates non-value added activities, more commonly called WASTE! Lean establishes a systematic approach to eliminating waste and creating flow throughout the whole company. It also helps you develop and implement a long-term plan to streamline your operations for success by doing MORE with LESS! You will learn about the principles of Lean Manufacturing in a class room setting then apply those principles in a series of simulated exercises. At the end of the day you’ll understand how to use these tools to:

• Reduce Cycle Time

• Reduce Inventory

• Reduce Work-in-Process (WIP)

• Reduce Costs

• Increase Capacity & Productivity

• Increase Sales & Profit
