What the Lean Certificate Series Covers Principles of Lean: A full day of classroom instruction and hands-on exercises in a manufacturing simulation that promotes continuous improvement. Participants are introduced to standardized work, workplace organization, visual controls, set-up reduction, batch size reduction, point of use storage, quality at the source, and workforce practices and pull systems.

Value Stream Mapping & 5s: The VSM process consists of identifying value streams/product groups, mapping a current state of material and information flow, assessing waste in the process, and designing an improved process. The 5s system of waste reduction (sort, set-in-order, shine, standardize, and sustain) is the basis of making these improvements.

TPM & Quick Changeover: TPM is a Lean-based system applied to equipment maintenance. It focuses on a life-cycle approach using teams to improve availability, performance and quality of critical machines. The four-step changeover improvement process is based on the principals of the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) system, developed by Shigeo Shingo, to dramatically reduce or eliminate changeover time.

Pull/Kanban Systems & Cellular Flow: Pull/Kanban is based on the concept of building products based on actual consumption. The system uses visual signals when parts need to be replaced. Participants learn how to control shop floor inventory and production schedules by implementing pull systems. Cellular Flow is the linking of manual and machine operations into the most efficient combination of resources to maximize value-added content while minimizing waste.

Sustaining Lean: The Lean process must be sustained by management and permeated throughout the organization as a cultural way of doing business. Sustaining Lean teaches how to instill the lean philosophy and techniques into the workforce and prepares Lean leaders to foster the sustained process of continuous improvement.
