Offered by APICS Puget Sound and Kocer Consulting + Engineering.

• This event is a hands-on interactive mock-up of an assembly company that has all the challenges of a normal manufacturer, and attendees are given a role on the company team to use the lean lessons to improve their operations.
• We introduce basic principles of lean over three iterations so that attendees can see and measure the incremental improvements in throughput, efficiency and reduction of WIP costs.
• The first iteration typically results in 1 or 2 product deliveries and lots of WIP and quality issues over 20 minutes.  By the last iteration, the team is typically producing quality product every 90 seconds with less WIP, less administration and less stress.
• For the skeptical “show me” employee, this truly demonstrates the power of Lean by seeing, touching and being part of the improvement.
• Attendees will get an excellent feel for what Lean really is, how it is applied to operations, and how it can benefit their company.

Pricing 

• 350 per person
• On-Site Training Option: We offer training on-site at your company for 12 or more students.
