Quality System Auditing If You Have Already Started The Lean
Journey… Companies who
have previously contracted with other consulting firms as they began their
initial lean journey (such as KMAC,
Indiana MEP or others), will find
that MBS can be a VERY cost-effective way to sustain your company’s Lean Journey. If you’ve found that
the progress of Lean has diminished after the initial training, we can help
you keep your journey on-track. Don’t
let your initial investment in Lean training go to waste. MBS can provide follow-up training or facilitation
for your team, or initial Lean training for new team members, on an as-needed
basis. Our simple fee
structure makes it very cost-effective to have on-going support readily
available – something that most other consulting groups cannot provide. We’d be glad to
discuss it more with you. We’re just a phone CALL
away. |

Development training and activities to benefit from those improvements. Call or email for specific information on: Ö
Lean
Opportunity Assessment We can review
your company’s current operations or processes to identify potential areas
where Lean Management methods can lead to real improvements. This documented assessment result then
serves as a baseline against which to confirm future progress as you move
forward in your lean journey. Ö
Lean
Methodology Introduction / Overview This training
will provide your Management team with an overview of the essentials of Lean
methodology and is an excellent “first step” for those companies wanting to
begin or begin a new phase of their Lean journey. It includes hands-on simulation exercises
to reinforce the concepts and learning. Ö
Waste
Identification Workshop This workshop
is targeted for a team activity.
First, the team will be taught to “see” the 8 Wastes” and then
actively develop action plans to minimize or eliminate these wastes. In just a few hours, real results can be
seen, and your team will have new tools to become a valuable resource within
your company. Ö
Continuous
Improvement Workshop This workshop
is designed to continue the work of the Waste Identification Workshop
above. Once the team has been taught
to “see” the 8 Wastes,” additional tools are introduced, as appropriate,
including Standardized Work, Workload Balance, Kanban. Ö
Cell
Kaizen Workshop This workshop
combines components of the Lean Introduction, Waste Identification, and
Continuous Improvement workshops above. Ö
5S /
Visual Control Workshop Often, this
workshop is one of the first activities when beginning the Lean Journey. The discipline of 5S, coupled with the
visualization of the workplace expectations through Visual Control methods,
will help ensure that gains made are sustained through time. Ö
