Lean Manufacturing Training Now Comes to You--Web-Based Lean Seminar by Shingo Prize Recipient Gary Conner Scheduled for Oct 24-28, 2005

Many smaller manufacturing shops realize that their teams need to understand the principles of Lean manufacturing, yet they cannot send someone to a week long workshop.

(PRWEB) July 31, 2005 -- We have trained hundreds of people at public workshops across the US and Canada. People have come from as far as India to join our 40-hour Lean Leader workshop.

We are now proud to announce that we will begin offering a web based version of our weeklong (40-hour) workshop on line beginning Oct 24-28.

This program will be conducted using a Web-based training system. The only hardware needed by the participants will be a computer with web browsing capability.

The cost for our one-week public workshops is $1495; this session will cost only $495 per participant.

Each participant will be provided a downloadable version of our 350 page handout, as well as files used throughout the workshop including value stream mapping spreadsheets, samples, examples and case studies.

This workshop will be conducted for three (3) hours each day (for five (5) consecutive days). There will be about one (1) hour of assigned reading or homework assignments each day in addition to the time spent on the web.

Participants will learn to:
~ Perform PQR (product, quantity, routing) analysis
~ Define value streams
~ Conduct current state assessments
~ Select model lines
~ Calculate hybrid takt times
~ Perform value stream mapping for job shops
~ Conduct 5-S events
~ Conduct set-up reduction events
