Description
This case study demonstrates how all 14 elements of lean apply to all manufacturing, including the job shop. Participants will learn the necessary steps to sustain lean, including creating flow in job-shop-type manufacturing. Participants also will discern how production layout can create or prevent flow. Lastly, attendees will explore how to institute standard work and accomplish smoothing while producing dissimilar items. The presentation will include pictures of the manufacturing processes including saw, drill, layout, fit-up, and welding. Plus, it will review workplace organization and address all eight elements of waste.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
-
- Understand how all of the elements of lean can be implemented in a job shop environment.
- See how Bennett Steel Fabrication, Inc. implemented lean production when every part produced is different from the last part and different from the next part.
- Produce dissimilar parts in a continuous flow utilizing flow.
