5S, Kaizen Blitz & Visual Control

Often, changes to a process can be applied fairly expeditiously, as the process may not require total re-engineering. This third of the Six - Part certification series is a demonstration of how to gain basic control, develop a means of self-management in the operation and remove much of the waste that exists.
The techniques listed in the title and others will be demonstrated to a point that attendees will be prepared to incorporate them in processes in their own work environment.
All of the techniques taught will be time proven in a variety of businesses and are found to be effective with a minimum risk of disruption within the specific area.

What you will achieve;

• The ability to understand the purposes and objectives of these tools and techniques, allowing attendees to quickly establish where to apply them
  The ability to focus on tasks that will result in achieving maximum benefit with minimum effort
  Skills that will steer you in the direction a of addressing areas in need of improvement in an aggressive manner
  An appreciation of why it is important to identify those tasks that add little or no value to the process
  A hands-on tutorial of the tools that can be used to streamline processes rapidly.

What you will Learn;

• The elements and progression of an implementation plan
  5S – what it is and how it improves the effectiveness of people working within the process
  Visual Control – Why the introduction of visual control provides a continual and vivid status of an operation or segment of a process typically with a quick review
  Kaizen Principles – An understanding of the principles and the application of continuous improvement basics
  Flow Concepts – how flow is key to any operation and the absence of flow is a clear signal of some sort of waste
  Wasted movements – the most important asset of most processes is the human element. If the person or persons functioning in a process are continually delayed because of the lack of organization, the process requires one of the concepts taught in this workshop.
