Wabash Valley Lean Workshop

Presented by: Purdue University -  NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center.

This is a one-day, hands-on workshop where the basic principles of Lean Office are presented and attendees have an opportunity to experience how lean principles are applied in a simulated office environment.  The workshop with a ?live? simulation guides attendees through transition from a traditional office approach to that of a lean office environment!  Waste is eliminated, productivity increased, and the company gains a competitive edge in the marketplace.  At this workshop attendees learn the basic principles of lean office and how to apply them. During the simulation exercises, as a member of the office team, attendees apply lean office concepts such as standard work, 5S, visual signals, pull system, cellular layout, work balancing, team work and more, plus experience firsthand how lean concepts improve quality, reduce cycle time, improve delivery performance, and enable the company to improve profitability.

Attendees will participate, have fun, and leave this workshop with a good understanding of how lean concepts could enhance performance for most any type organization.  Any organization just getting started on a lean transformation of office activities would certainly benefit from having some key personnel attend this workshop. It would also benefit organizations that have been applying lean concepts, but may have some employees who have not been fully exposed to using lean tools in an office environment.

Primary instructor for this workshop will be:  Ed Hlava, Advanced Manufacturing Specialist, with Purdue University - NIST MEP Center.  Ed has broad experience in industry, and as a lean consultant/instructor.

Attendees will receive:  a Principles of Lean Office & Administration Workbook and a Lean Certificate from Purdue University – NIST MEP Center
