Professional Development, How to Eliminate Non-Value Added Functions
The capability to manufacture quality products on schedule, at low cost is essential for competing in today's global market. Lean manufacturing slashes lead time while increasing on-time delivery, reducing waste, improving quality, and drastically lowering your costs. Eliminating non-value added functions requires specific skills. JIT requires continuous improvement and the elimination of waste. Continuous improvement is the strategy, but pre-defined tactics are the keys to success.
This workshop focuses on lean manufacturing philosophies and practical implementation strategies with an emphasis on results. By employing the fundamentals of root cause analysis, non-value added functions are identified and eliminated from manufacturing and administrative processes. This workshop will provide attendees with the specific skills, plans, and activities required to identify and eliminate non-value added functions. In addition, it will define other essential JIT support activities. Examples of non-value added functions and potential solutions will also be provided. The attendees will leave the course with some practical hands-on suggestions on what to look for, how to eliminate, and the subsequent benefits.
How to Eliminate Non-Value Added Functions is ideal for all business functions from accounting to administration, including all marketing, manufacturing and materials functions, as well as cross-functional management teams including production supervisors, production lead personnel, quality and manufacturing engineers, contract administrators, and procurement personnel.
