Lean Manufacturing


Overview

Lean Manufacturing is a common-sense approach that focuses on the elimination of waste in your operations. This proven methodology decreases lead times, lowers operating costs, improves quality, decreases inventory levels, and increases your flexibility in meeting customer demands. When implemented, lean manufacturing will transform your company into a cost-effective, agile manufacturer.

Mr. Buchko will give an overview of lean manufacturing and how these principles can be applied to an entire enterprise including front-office operations. He will explain how to get started on your lean manufacturing journey and identify resources that exist to enable your success. Additionally, Mr. Buchko will discuss how lean manufacturing can be expanded to include suppliers and how to respond when those you supply are pushing for operational efficiencies.
