Description
This course is offered in partnership with Symix Bulgaria, an APICS Authorized Educational Provider
This 2 days class is part of one of the best curriculum worldwide for professional training and certification in the fields of Operations Management for the optimization of production processes applying LEAN principles. Developed by SYMIX the LEAN Production Optimization workshop provides sophisticated definitions and concepts for planning, controlling, and monitoring the flow of materials/information into, through, and out of a production organization. It explains fundamental interrelations among the activities that occur in the shop floor from inbound to outbound. In addition, the interactive instructor-led workshop covers types of manufacturing systems, production activity control, agility in the production environment, concepts for Theory of Constraints, recommendations for Low Cost Intelligent Automation, practical team experience by walking through a multi-step learning curve, product design propositions for optimized assembly and manufacturing processes. .
Topics include:
- Introduction to LEAN Production Optimization
- Agile and non-agile companies
- Theory of Constraints
- Drum-buffer-rope system
- Plant Optimizations Software package
- Low Cost Intelligent Automation
- Practical assembly example drills
- Design for Assembly (DfA)
- Design for Manufacturing (DfM)s.
