| Lean
Manufacturing Certificate - 5 Classes
The Lean Manufacturing program consists of five workshops
(Intro To Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen and Kaizen Event Implementation,
5S and the Visual Workplace, Waste Reduction and Creating
Standard Work, and Mistake Proofing and Set-up Reduction).
The classes are designed to provide you with the important
aspects of lean manufacturing and how they can be used to
make improvements to productivity, quality, throughput, floor
space, and cost. This is a result-driven program to show participants
how to implement and sustain lean manufacturing on the shop
floor as well as teaching you how to train and mold your employees
into positive change agents.
Fee: $1150.00
Classes run 1/7/2008 and ends 1/15/2008 from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
Intro To Lean
Manufacturing
This first course is designed to provide a basic overview
of lean manufacturing. This introductory program will prepares
you for the more comprehensive look at lean manufacturing
that will be discussed in the remaining courses. It covers
topics such as the seven wastes, identification of the key
shop floor metrics and why they should be improved. This course
sets the tone for your company's lean manufacturing strategic
purpose.
Class runs 1/7/2008 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Kaizen
And Kaizen Event Implementation
The philosophy of Kaizen, which means continuous improvement,
is the starting point and driver for all lean initiatives.
Kaizen events are opportunities to make focused changes, but
they require solid up front planning and smart implementation.
Many improvement efforts don't reap the financial and cultural
rewards due to lack of planning, execution, and accountability.
Knowing lean manufacturing is the easy part. Implementation
isn't as easy and this course will teach you how.
Class runs 1/8/2008 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
5S
And The Visual Workplace
Organization and cleanliness is the cornerstone of any manufacturing
environment. This highly detailed course will outline the
fundamental aspects of 5 S and visual management. The 5 S
system is a powerful continuous improvement philosophy that
can generate immediate results. However, understanding its
principles and how to implement them is critical to its success.
The 5 S and the Visual Workplace course will provide the information
needed to start your 5 S program; and make it stay!
Class begins 1/9/2008 and ends 1/9/2008 from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m.
Waste
Reduction And Creating Standard Work
The collection and understanding of your shop floor's current
state is essential to improving productivity. This workshop
outlines the proper technique in collecting time and work
content data. It will provide tools and applications to identify
waste, rid it from your processes, and establish best practices.
Topics covered: Time and Motion Study Collection; Effect Hours;
Takt Time and Cycle Time; Waste Reduction; Line Balancing;
Process Efficiency; and Standard Work.
Class begins 1/14/2008 and ends 1/14/2008 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
Mistake
Proofing and Set-up Reduction
Human error is a fact of life. Even if machines and equipment
are set perfectly, mistakes can be made. This course will
outline popular techniques in mistake proofing and how to
reduce the time associated with set-up. Quick changeover is
essential in a lean manufacturing environment and can be a
major contributor to increasing throughput and lead time.
This course also covers an in-depth look at quality at the
source and inspection.
Class begins 1/15/2008 and ends 1/15/2008 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
Streamline your business processes to improve
efficiency, customer service and the bottom line. This intensive
4-hour course will outline how to apply Lean principles to
the administrative functions of your business to help you
identify and reduce wait times, eliminate unnecessary duplication,
and reduce costly and time consuming errors.
Fee: $149.00
Class begins 1/16/2008 and ends 1/16/2008 from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Course Title: The Bolted Joint
ASME Course Number: PD53
Course Description
This two day course provides an overview of bolted joint
fundamentals, whether gasketed or not, including behavior,
troubleshooting, and various design approaches. Bolted Joints
comprise a large percentage of all industrial fasteners, yet
their role in the installation and assembly process is poorly
understood. Obtaining the desired load and configuration is
subject to a high degree of uncertainty that calls for a greater
understanding of bolted joint operating principles. This course
will take a more detailed look at the latest developments
on gasketed joint assembly, torque factors, bolting patterns,
gasket behavior, tightness, and selection and specification.
Who Should Attend
This seminar will be of interest to practicing design and
manufacturing professionals involved in assembly of electro-mechanical
hardware as well as engineers and technicians in design and
assembly operations. 2 years of engineering experience would
be beneficial, but is not necessary.
Outline
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Calculate forces in bolted joint
- Establish specific torque
- How to increase functional life of a joint
- Analyze joints and failure mechanisms
- Achieve better control of bolt tension and applied torque
in assembly
- Effect utilization of torque application machines
- Reduce fastener-related warranty and rework costs
- Design and analyze gasketed joints
