Lean 101 Training

Learn the lean fundamentals and practice applying various lean tools in an interactive, exciting environment in a full-day Lean 101 event 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (CDT) on Thursday, July 22, at the Ramkota Hotel & Watertown Event Center (1901 9th Avenue Southwest, Watertown). The $200/person cost includes lunch.

Lean 101 utilizes learning and applying through a unique simulation process. Throughout the day, participants will act out a manufacturing company’s transition to lean by following a learn-and-do approach. Eight hours of training consists of: an overview of lean, specific lean tools and how the lean tools can impact your particular business.

There are four segments that will be covered:

Overview of Lean – 1 hour of classroom time

Simulation 1 – What worked and what didn’t. 1 hour hands-on in simulated factory.

Lean Tools Training – What should be changed? 1 hour classroom time

Simulation 2 – What worked and what’s next. 1 hour hands-on in simulated factory.

Lean Tools Training – What should be changed? 1 hour classroom time

Simulation 3 – What worked and what’s next. 1 hour hands-on in simulated factory.

Lean Tools Training –What should be changed? 1 hour classroom time

Simulation 4 – What worked and what’s next. 1 hour hands-on in simulated factory.

Participants not only learn the tools, but they will be able to identify the changes and then prove that they improved the process via the simulation and monitoring results.

Attendees will see how the lean tools transform a manufacturing company from a traditional push manufacturing company to a lean enterprise. Each simulation looks at metrics related to lead-time, production output, quality, inventory, revenue, and profit.

Lunch will be provided and total class time (including lunch) is between 8-8.5 hours. Attendance is capped at 20 people so register today.
