How
It Works
The
Lean Manufacturing Assessment
uses a series of online web conferences and interim
assignments.
1.
In the first Online conference, we explain the key areas of the lean
manufacturing assessment, why they are important, what data is
required, and how to format the data and information.
2.
Team members pursue their various assignments and share the results.
3.
At a second conference, we discuss the results and agree on
additional data needs or changes.
4.
At a final conference, we discuss the meaning and implications
of
the information. We also examine how to apply Lean Manufacturing
techniques.
The result--
deeper understanding of key issues, problems, and potential Lean
Manufacturing solutions. |
