Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma Training Update

from

We have recently launched new Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt online programs to complement our online Lean Certification program. A discount is available for newsletter subscribers. (See below.)

Also, we want to remind our subscribers about our instructor-led workshops next month. There are only a few days left to register for our April 6th "Quick Changeover and Total Productive Maintenance" workshop and/or our April 7th "Creating Continuous Flow Manufacturing Cells" workshop at the early registration price of $449 per person per workshop. A 10% discount is now available for 4 or more registrations made at the same time (4 workshops, 4 people, or any combination).

These classes will take place at the Doubletree Club Hotel Orange County Airport in Santa Ana, CA. Of course, if Orange County isn't convenient for you, you might consider our self-paced, online programs.
April 2011 Courses
Quick Changeover (SMED) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) - Santa Ana, CA. Wednesday, April 6th, 8:30am - 4:30pm. Through case study, video, and instruction, this course will teach attendees how to implement TPM and SMED, two essential ingredients in a lean manufacturing program. The TPM system addresses production operation with a solid, team-based proactive program. It helps eliminate losses from breakdowns, defects, and accidents and improves Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The SMED system for quick changeover is a three-phase system aimed at reducing changeover time on equipment; this allows for smaller batches and less inventory throughout the value stream. $449 if registered by 03/25, $549 after.

Creating Continuous Flow Manufacturing Cells - Santa Ana, CA. Thursday,
April 7th, 8:30am - 4:30pm. In this workshop, participants will learn how to design manufacturing cells for true one-piece flow. The course is comprehensive in that it covers all facets of this discipline: understanding takt time, physical layout, analyzing standard work and creating standard work charts, line balancing, load-leveling, setting up a system for auditing, and more. $449 if registered by 03/25, $549 after.
