Manufacturing Summit engages VPs and Directors of Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Operations, etc. for manufacturing facilities across the nation who work with FMA to learn how to better achieve and surpass their strategic goals of increased manufacturing efficiency, streamlined processes and sustainability. About FMA Summits This presentation will feature 10 tips for streamlining and focusing Lean Strategy for Manufacturing practices, that FMA and its clients have worked together to deem most important in moving forward.
These topics are the focus for our Delegates and outline the various solutions that our Partner companies will exhibit and present on at our upcoming Manufacturing Summit in Atlanta, GA November 17 th 19 th , 2014. Introduction: 5S represents a strategy for organizing the work area starting with: Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize and Sustain. The basic purpose of 5S is to implement a roadmap for the elimination of waste that results from poorly or inefficient work areas. 5S The Bottleneck Analysis Bottleneck Analysis is used to identify the weakest link in the manufacturing process which limits the overall through put and improve the performance for that part. Continuous Flow Manufacturing Continuous flow Manufacturing ensures that the work-in process smoothly flows with minimal bumps between the steps. It eliminates many forms of waste like inventory, waiting time etc. HoshinKanri HoshinKanri guarantees the goals of the company; the middle management and the work on the plant floor are consistent and thorough. It removes poor communication and inconsistent direction. Jidoka Jidoka is a unique concept of partially automating the manufacturing process and to automatically stop when defects are detected. It reduces labour costs as few people can now monitor multiple stations and quality issues are detected Immediately. Just-in-time Just-in-time is focused on pulling parts through production based on customer demand instead of pushing parts through production based on projected demand. It works in sync with other lean tools and is highly effective in reducing inventory levels and improving cash flows. Kaizen Kaizen works towards continuous improvement by employing a strategy where employees work together to achieve step by step improvements in the manufacturing process. Overall Equipment Effectiveness Overall Equipment Effectiveness is effective in measuring the productivity loss for a given manufacturing process. These 3 categories of loss are Availability, Performance and Quality. SMART Goals SMART Goals are the goals that are: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Specific. This helps in tracking the effectiveness of the goals. Value Stream Mapping Value stream mapping is a tool that maps the flow of production visually. It shows the current and future state of processes thereby underlining the scope for improvement. Montreal Office (HQ) FMA Inc. Montreal: 1751 Richardson Suite 8100 Montreal, QC H3K 1G6, Canada
