Introduction To Lean Manufacturing Training

Introduction To Lean Manufacturing Training Course Description

Introduction to Lean Manufacturing training provides you with the techniques for streamlining missions in any manufacturing environment. A comprehensive overview of lean manufacturing delivers cost and cash flow, velocity and lead time, and deliberates how waste impacts both profit and customer happiness. We will give you guidelines for developing and quantifying lean strategies at every step in the manufacturing process. You will go back to work with the knowledge lean principals to enhance your business strategy, reduce waste, and increase your business’ profits.

In today’s business world, where international competition and constant price reduction requires from customers impact significantly on management strategies, lean manufacturing helps corporates to stay competitive, innovative, and profitable. “Lean” execution leads to lower cost and cycle-time, higher customer satisfaction, and standardized high quality. This hands-on training will concentrate on lean approaches that can be used to reduce all forms of waste and increase value for the customer.

Lean manufacturing training intends to give you a complete comprehension of what “Lean” means, describe the tools used, and, via case studies and group activities, show how these tools can be used in your organization.
