Upcoming Events
 
The New Hampshire MEP in collaboration with
the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire present the following events:
Principles of Lean Manufacturing:
Using a dynamic simulated manufacturing environment, our experts will bring your team from a traditional manufacturing operation to a Lean manufacturing enterprise, eliminating waste and increasing productivity and profitability, allowing you to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Basic Elements of Lean
Traditional manufacturing philosophies stress high utilization of machinery and manpower with little concern for cycle time or manufacturing waste. Lean manufacturing focuses on creating greater production efficiencies by implementing value-added activities to minimize waste. By utilizing a simulated learning environment, workshop participants experience a complete Lean transformation and learn how to implement Lean principles throughout their own manufacturing enterprise.
Elimination of the Eight Wastes:
Lean implementation focuses on eliminating the Eight Wastes in manufacturing:
| |
