Everyone knows what needs to be done. The million dollar
question remains; How?
How do you make things work better, move faster, cost less, and
earn more?
If you are the person or part of a team who has to answer that
question for your company, then surely the pressure is on. But fortunately,
when it comes to setting up your production lines, Uttana.com has help.
Lean Manufacturing Training Courses
This series from Uttana.com is designed to take you through the
steps of the layout design process from a Lean management viewpoint, helping
you to make sure that every element of your production layout is in sync with
the work you have already done with 5S and Lean Methodologies to increase
efficiency, reduce waste and cost, and bolster profits and customer
satisfaction. While each of the Lean Manufacturing Layouts
training courses will provide useful information that can be applied
right away, they are designed to be used as a whole to bring you to the place
where you can design a truly effective manufacturing layout.
- Introduction to Lean
Layout: This course will discuss
the basic principles of applying Lean philosophy to the design of your
production facility, from the Three Guiding Fundamentals of a Lean
Layout, and The Lean Layout and the Just in Time Concept. At
the end of the course, you will be able to visualize how your changes are
going to work with your existing Lean setup.
- Designing
Equipment Layout: This course
will focus on the equipment that you use in your manufacturing or assembly
process. Topics being considered will include:
◦ Redesigning your Equipment’s Layout by Process Sequence:
This will help you to integrate the
machine position in the line with the optimum process sequence used to perform
the desired operations.
◦ Defining Efficient Machine Spacing: The next step in this course is to learn about how to
effectively space the machines and other equipment used in the process. This
takes into account machine dimensions, material ingress and egress, power, air,
water, and other utility hookups, as well as safety concerns.
◦ Reducing Designated Storage Area: Care must be taken to make sure that storage areas for
supplies, components and materials do not grow to the point that they reduce
the overall efficiency of the line or encroach on the operational space of nearby
operations.
◦ How Flexible Equipment Contributes to a Lean Layout: The Lean Design process not only works with existing
equipment, but affects the equipment selection process. By using flexible and
multi-function machinery, you can impact the efficiency of your overall layout.
- Utilizing Personnel in a
Lean Layout: Clearly the people
working the line are the most flexible and adaptive elements of the
layout, but they too must be considered when designing a safe, efficient,
and well ordered manufacturing layout.
- Line Flow in a Lean
Layout: Once you have considered
the basic layout, the equipment and the people, it is time to look at the
actual flow of the work through the line.
- Equipment Flow: Along with the Line Flow, the material handling characteristics of each piece of equipment, as well as the equipment maintenance and setup requirements are an important element in the overall design.
Lean Waste
To cap off your improvements, it is recommended that you review
the Lean Waste Video
Online course to make sure that Lean Wastes do not become ingrained in your
setup, something that can happen while you are focused on the big picture.
