5S WORKPLACE ORGANIZATION Improve your facility efficiency through organization. 5S is a five-step methodology that will help reduce downtime and eliminate defects from your processes. When implemented correctly, 5S helps create and maintain an organized, safe, clean and efficient workplace.

Based on the classic manufacturing text, Five Pillars of the Visual Workplace, this course teaches the basics of 5S—the cleaning and straightening activities that are the foundation for all workplace improvements.

YOU WILL LEARN y y y y y

Separate essential from nonessential items (sort).

Organize essential materials (set in order).

Clean work area (shine).

Establish system to maintain (standardize).

Establish a safe and sanitary work environment (sustain).

KEY TAKEAWAYS y Create a well-organized and safe working environment y Improve production by removing defects, downtime, and excessive motion y Detect process non-conformance, hazards and waste y Create a positive workplace culture where everyone is encouraged to address problems y Implement 5S as part of a larger Lean initiative

SET UP REDUCTION/QUICK CHANGEOVER “We found the Lean training offered by NBDC to be very helpful in our current continuous improvement efforts. You have a very seasoned training staff that truly cares about educating Nebraska businesses in Lean improvement methods that can immediately provide results to the bottom line.”

In today’s hyper-speed economy, time is money. On the shop floor, that means the amount of time employees spend setting up a machine to run a new batch or order is more important than ever.

Setup reduction is a Lean tool that focuses on eliminating waste in manufacturing operations. Setup reduction projects have the added benefit that they can be accomplished with little investment in time or money. This course follows the principles first expressed

by Dr. Shigeo Shingo and his work on Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED).

YOU WILL LEARN y The fundamental principles of set-up reduction. y The standard methodology in applying SMED to any type set-up, changeover or process in any industry and environment. y How each step of the changeover process contributes to setup reduction or elimination.

KEY TAKEAWAYS y Demonstrate and document all tasks that make up existing changeover process y Apply the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) system to analyze changeover tasks and identify improvements y Develop a plan to standardize improvements

VALUE STREAM MAPPING Value stream mapping is a Lean manufacturing visualization tool for recording all the processes that are required to bring a product to market. An important goal of value stream mapping is to identify processes that do not provide value so they can be improved. A current state map is the first step in working towards finding the ideal state for your organization.

YOU WILL LEARN y How to eliminate waste by mapping the flow of products from raw materials through the manufacturing steps to the final product. y Study examples of actual Value Stream Maps and company case studies. y You will create current and future state maps for your organization. y Workshop will be held on-site at a host company.

KEY TAKEAWAYS y y y y

“For us to stay competitve, control costs, improve processes and improve performance, we need to continue to build a Lean culture. It starts with people and ends with people. Managers and supervisors who achieve Lean Certificates share their knowledge with our 500+ employees. When they see the improvement Lean makes, it’s easy to get buy in.”

CELLULAR FLOW “With what we have learned, our whole production area has changed. We’ve moved out nearly half the tables we had, and instead of straight lines and batch processing, we are now utilizing one piece flow. We’ve configured cells that enable us to streamline the process.“ Scott White, Brand Hydraulics

Cellular manufacturing and workcells are the heart of Lean. In cellular manufacturing, work stations and equipment are arranged in a sequence that supports a smooth flow of materials and components with minimal transport or delay. Implementation of this Lean method is often the key to increasing production speed and flexibility, as well as reducing costs.

YOU WILL LEARN y How to link and balance manufacturing operations to reduce lead times, minimize work in process, optimize floor usage and improve productivity. y Experience the five-step process for designing and implementing work cells. This process applies to both assembly and machining applications and includes Kanban and Pull methodology.

KEY TAKEAWAYS y Learn the key concepts of cellular manufacturing y Use key documents for planning and standardizing work y Learn a cell design process through simulation

STANDARD WORK Standard work is a crucial element of Lean.

Documenting current best practice, standardized work forms the baseline for Kaizen or continuous improvement. As the standard is improved, the new standard becomes the baseline for future improvements.

This hands-on course will demonstrate how to analyze the interaction of people, materials, methods and machines in a work process and develop the most effective combination of resources and time to reduce waste.

YOU WILL LEARN y Definition of standard work. y Reasons to implement standard work and what benefits you will see as a result. y How to identify and remove barriers. y How to use standardized work tools.

KEY TAKEAWAYS y y y y

Improve quality and productivity Reduce training costs Improve communications Better manage inventory

Takt time, the rate at which products must be made to meet customer demand

The precise work sequence in which an operator performs tasks

The standard inventory required to keep the process operating smoothly.

MEAD LUMBER/TRUSS CRAFT

SHOULD YOUR PLANT HOST A LEAN WORKSHOP? This Nebraska company would say yes.

“This class was an eyeopening experience for our employees, as each became part of a team made up of individuals in leadership roles at other nearby companies.

They benefitted tremendously from listening to the questions and ideas from the other companies, while at the same time using actual Lean thinking tools.”

Jeff Taake, Mead Lumber

Truss Craft Structural Components, Mead Lumber Company’s component manufacturing facility in Grand Island hosted a Value Stream Mapping class in their Grand Island facility. Four Truss Craft employees and the plant manager participated in the two-day Value Stream Mapping class which transitioned into a three-day Kaizen process improvement event at the company.

Truss Craft team members discovered ways to improve their operations and ultimately make improvements to serve their customers’ diverse product requirements. The findings of the three-day Kaizen event were presented during a Building Component Manufacturing Conference in Omaha.

Jeff Taake, vice president of manufacturing, says Mead Lumber “wants the continuous improvement culture to become part of our DNA. We will continue to send key associates through the Lean Enterprise Certification program, while at the same time hosting our own Kaizen events.”

“Embracing the continuous improvement culture will harness the knowledge and experiences of our employee owners, and focus us on driving value to our customers,” Taake says. “The NBDC and its consultants will be with us on that journey.”
