Pre Conference Workshops8 x PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOPS Tuesday: 13th May TIME: 8.30-4.00pm FEE: $750+gst Presented by some of Australia’s best Lean facilitators, these practical workshops represent a great opportunity to learn at the coal face. Hear about real world experiences and how to achieve results through Lean applications. Space is limited so register early. Please note host companies may refuse entry to people who are considered competitors. (Participants are to make their own way to the sites) Lean Demystified – An Introduction to Lean Systems If Lean is about simplicity how come it appears so complex? In this fast moving simulation we explain how all the tools relate together as a complete system. You get to practice using 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban, Yamazumi Charts, SMED and and the importance of Lean Measurement systems. In this one-day workshop we will establish a traditional factory and run it for best results. Learning will be accomplished through the application of Lean Thinking in our simulated manufacturing business. Watch as Lean brings about capacity increases of over 200% with huge inventory and floor space reductions. An early step towards excellence is often as simple as getting organised, and 5S is the best “get organised” tool around. We will again learn through simulation as we take a traditional business environment through the 5S program. What’s Your Process for Teamwork ? Engaging your team does not happen by chance! Team Leaders/Managers need a process for teamwork to get the best from their teams. The Team Management Wheel has the dual benefit of providing a "user friendly" process for team problem solving & decision making plus an insight into how to manage the diversity of work styles in a team. Whilst the nine key functions of the Team Wheel ensures a team takes a balance to approach to its work the accompanying Work Preference Profile (TMP) provides information to help make the most of people's strengths through appropriate role allocation and interpersonal communication ("Pacing"). The individual profiles are then combined to make a "Team Map" which is very useful in identifying where there may be "gaps" leading to the formulation of strategies to address these. Team Leaders & Managers are introduced to the concept and skills of Linking Leadership - the foundation of the Team Wheel. This is based on a philosophy of "structured inclusion" to take advantage of diversity of thinking within a team. Transformation to Lean Maintenance This workshop is designed to answer the following questions What do Maintenance employees do in a Lean factory environment? Workshop participants will leave the workshop understanding, the role of maintenance in supporting an organisations Lean transformation, how and why maintenance needs to change to help support that transformation and how to undertake a simple diagnostic on their maintenance effectiveness, using this to develop a pathway to improved performance and reduced cost. Learn the Essentials of Practical Value Stream Mapping Value Stream Mapping is a technique used to pictorially show the process of material flow, information flow and resource requirements to provide a product or service to a customer. Value Stream Mapping provides teams with essential information to enable a well structured improvement approach to be taken. This one day workshop will provide attendees with a unique opportunity to learn the principles and techniques of Value Stream Mapping in a live manufacturing environment at Frontline Australasia. Participants will learn the difference between Value Stream Mapping and process mapping, how to specify value and determine value adding actions and non value adding actions alongside the techniques of drawing a value stream map. You will also be shown how to identify improvement opportunities from a Value Stream Map. Developing Shopfloor Lean Scoreboards Geoff Green, an experienced Lean Operations Manager, who now works with industry to improve profitability by establishing lean/continuous improvement production systems and cultures. Geoff has developed a comprehensive set of lean training modules that can be delivered as nationally recognised Certificate training in Competitive Manufacturing or as business improvement workshops.
Kaizen Blitz – Implementing Rapid Lean Solutions Under the expert Lean guidance of Kelvyn Gallagher, this group will take an existing workplace improvement opportunity, and use Toyota's ‘Kaizen Blitz’ methodology, to rapidly design and implement a solution. Risk Management in Lean Supply Chains The introduction of Lean methodologies into companies Supply Chains has delivered great gains, however at the same time it exposes the firm to significantly increased risks. The reduction in buffers, inventory, staffing and capacities mean that organisations are less resilient than they were 5 or 10 years ago. This does not mean that firms should avoid Lean practices because of this increased risk, rather they should act to identify and manage these risks. This workshop will outline what Lean Supply Chain is all about and will explore the types of risk that Lean Supply Chains can be exposed to. There are several approaches that can be put in place to counter risk, either contingency or mitigation. Having built an understanding of Supply Chain Risk/Responses we will then move through a methodology for identifying these risks and selecting a suitable response using some real life examples.
