High-Mix Low-Volume Manufacturing Workshop

This comprehensive workshop creates a one-day hands-on learning environment demonstrating how to reduce your inventory investment with proper lot sizing technique while increasing your throughput by scheduling multiple constraints with MCS™. The importance of demand management and proper forecasting technique are covered in detail.

This workshop provides a solid foundation for understanding how lot sizing, generic Kanban, factory layout, capacity constrained resources, bottlenecks, and forecasting interact in the course of attaining superior levels of manufacturing operations performance.

You Will Learn How To:

>> Reinvent your organization’s mental models, reduce risk and pioneer change throughout
your organization
>> Identify fundamental differences between system measures and output measures
>> Implement product-specific Kanban for work-in-process inventory control and batch
processing operations
>> Measure cycle time and processing time
>> Effectively control solitary constraint operations and multiple constraint operations
>> Implement and control work-in-process in high-mix operations using generic Kanban
>> Quantify the effect disruptions have on global system performance
>> Control disruptions in your manufacturing environment
>> Understand and measure relationships among cycle time, work-in-process, throughput
and productivity
>> Recognize the differences between stochastic and non-stochastic forecasting technique
>> Use simulation-based forecasting to improve customer service and inventory turnover in
high-mix manufacturing environments
