Lean Tools

This project includes a complete course design for teaching the course with related learning materials. It also includes a sample schedule for delivering the course. **** In LEAN TOOLS learners will examine the lean tools available to identify and eliminate waste from a process. Learners will examine the benefits and challenges of conducting a 5S strategy and visual management in the workplace. Leaners will utilize process mapping and value stream mapping techniques to identify waste in the process and develop plans to reduce and/or eliminate identified waste. Learners will examine the role SMED (single minute exchange of dies) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) play in a lean enterprise.
