 The focus of Lean manufacuturing is quite different to traditional manufacturing. Traditionally the focus is improving productivity by working harder - bigger, faster machines, larger lot sizes and longer runs while cost reduction through eliminating waste from the system is under valued.
Lean manufacturing looks at things from a completely different angle. The actual time and work involved in any activity is generally a very small percentage of the actual time between the work starting and the finished product being delivered. Most of that time and effort and activity is not value add - from a lean perspective it is waste. At it's core lean manufacturing is simply the ongoing, systematic process of identifying and eliminating waste from the production system in order to increase the percentage of time, materials and effort that are value add.
The 7 Deadly Wastes Workshop is an interactive workshop designed to develop the ability to 'see' waste in all it's forms in your own production system and to begin to develop a plan to eliminate it.
Who should attend?
The Workshop can be addapted to work well for groups from a variety of areas within your business.
-
Senior leaders and the management team

A selection of people from across your value stream - head office, supply chain, manufacturing, reliability and stores focusing in on a specific value stream.
Having a development day or shut down?
This is an excellent site wide activity suitable for a development days or shut downs or to integrate into other on-site training
Program outcomes
The workshop provides the opportunity for participants to learn to identify waste in thier area of responsibility. We can incorporate training about 5S workplace organisation if you are at the begining of your lean journey or focus on taking your implementation to the next level if you have the basics in place.
By the end of the workshop the participants will understand how all 7 forms of waste identified by Toyota present themselves in your business and have developed an action plan for the reduction in waste aligned to your key drivers for improvement.
Overview of the Workshop
Paticipants will view a screening of Bruce Hamiltons Toast Kaizen and participate in a discussion identifing some of the examples of each type of waste in your production system. The Toast Kaizen Video takes the concepts of waste out of an industrial setting to help participants to deepen their understanding of the various types of waste.
-
The next step is to go out to the various work areas and identify specific examples of waste in the participants own work areas.
-
This input is then brought back to the training room and the participants workshop putting in place improvement plans aligned to the site objectives.
