Webinar: Continuous Improvement Using Lean Manufacturing Aspects
This Webinar is designed to examine the secrets behind Japanese management success starting from an approach that is called “Lean” or “Just-In-Time (JIT)”. The importance of this approach both as philosophy and as a method of operations planning and control will be discussed. Lean systems principles, concepts and elements as a radical departure from traditional management practice will be clarified. Requirements, benefits arising from and problems encountered with Lean systems implementation will be discussed.
Muda, Pull system, Jidoka, Kanban and 5’s will be briefly described; concepts, examples, and case studies shall be given from a wide variety of engineering and management discipline.
Who should attend
This Webinar is intended for engineers in working in production and management positions, but will be very useful for engineers working in various industrial, planning and managerial sectors, general managers and postgraduate participants in industrial engineering and engineering management.
