How Lean Manufacturing Layouts Training Courses can make your production lines faster

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.
