APICS Michiana Presents -
Lean Team Campaigns
Date: Tuesday, March 14, 2006
Joint Meeting with ISM

David S Coen
This presentation will be about leading a Lean implementation process to achieve and sustain manufacturing improvements. An entire organization does not become Lean as a result of one project or initiative. It is a goal which delivers continuously improving operational performance implemented by inroads into waste elimination for specific organization process areas. A Lean Manufacturing organization's focus utilizes cross-functional teams to achieve and sustain gains in safety, quality, customer service, productivity, and profitability.

This presentation will cover the following areas in guiding a Lean implementation:

  • What is a Campaign
  • What are the essentials of a Campaign
  • Campaign Timetable
  • Team Guidelines, Lean Training
  • Present State Map
  • Identify Critical Bottlenecks, Production Process Definition
  • Future State Map, Standard Work, 5S, Visual Factory
  • Future State Map Implementation
  • Future State Map Adjustment, Celebration
