Description:

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. Participants will work through two case examples. They will design cells and work through necessary calculations and analysis. Skills will be immediately applicable to the "real world." The course also includes a factory simulation in which participants will build widgets using traditional mass production methods; they will then utilze lean one-piece flow techniques and compare results.
