4 Ideas are only as good as their practical and successful implementation, said Dr. Kurt Stoll once. In the case of training activities, this means that training must be tailored closely to your requirements in order to ensure successful implementation. The basis for this is professional consultancy and precise determination of your requirements. This has been the principle behind the development of our new range of training and consultancy services, which comprise everything from an analysis of training needs through to public seminars and in-house training programmes, offering the right solution for every need. As an experienced and strong partner, we can help you to prepare your staff and your company to meet these challenges of the future. This catalogue describes our complete range of training and consulting services. A new inclusion is the area of process automation, for which we have developed a comprehensive range of services. You will also find an overview on page which shows the target groups to which our services relate. This will help you to select the right courses for your staff. In view of the ever-increasing competitive pressure faced by companies today, lean production systems, reduced downtime and increased machine availability are vital prerequisites for long-term success. This success can be achieved only if improvements in production and administration are codified into standards at regular intervals and further improved. For this purpose, companies need staff who are able to recognise potential for optimisation in a timely fashion, no matter whether this relates to communication, organisation or technology. We would be delighted to be allowed to offer you support in dealing with the challenges facing your business and hope that this catalogue will be the first step towards successful training. 4

44 Organisation Lean Production Lean Manufacturing SYNCHRO2 Taking the form of a strategy game, this training gives you a holistic view of material and information flows within a company and sensitizes you to different types of waste in processes. You learn to analyse the causes of delivery problems and low productivity and to develop and implement ideas for meeting customer needs and improving processes. The main goal is to instil lean thinking in your company. The strategy game provides practical experience for all employees involved in lean production projects. FA: Maintenance, Design/Engineering, Trainer, Managers PA: Process-Engineering Maintenance, Design/Engineering, Trainer/Consultant, Managers Inventory minimisation as an important basis for increased productivity The principle of pull production control Advantages compared to conventional production control methods Types and function of different pull production control methods Application of methods Kanban the classic pull principle SMED Optimisation of setup processes with Single Minute Exchange of Die CIP processes as part of the business game Introduction to Value Stream Mapping (VSM) can analyse the causes of delivery problems and low productivity can develop and implement ideas for meeting customer requirements and process improvements 1 days /EUR xxx 44 Online booking:

45 Lean Production Organisation Kanban Pull production control KANBAN This course uses an example of kanban to teach you the tools and methods for better planning and implementation of pull processes. You learn to use these methods to optimize processes and inventories automatically, freeing up resources and capital. You quickly learn to use the practical knowledge to implement simple pull processes in your own company. FA: Maintenance, Design/Engineering, Trainer, Management PA: Process- Engineering Maintenance, Design/Engineering, Trainer/Consultant, Management The various kanban methods Kanban manual or electronic? How do we produce in the customer s takt time? How do we calculate this? Calculating the order point Determining batch size How do we dimension a supermarket? How do I design a kanban board or kanban card Audit systems, key characteristic values can design kanban circuit can calculate buffer inventories, kanban quantities, customer takt time, order point and lead times can determine batch sizes can design supermarkets can design kanban boards and cards can use audit systems can calculate key characteristic data can put approaches into practice Some experience in production control 1 day /EUR xxx Online booking: 45

46 Organisation Lean Production Reducing set-up time with SMED SMED Optimum batch size is often determined based on minimum inventory and job changeover costs. But this approach has one critical flaw: It views changeover costs as unchangeable. This often results in overproduction, excessive inventories, adjusted transport routes and scrapping, high cycle times and delivery problems. This course enables you to radically reduce machine and plant downtime caused by setup. FA: Operators, Maintenance, Engineering, Trainer PA: N/A Relationship between batch size and setup time Reducing setup times as the only way to reduce batch sizes and inventories in production The SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) method and its phases The OTED (One Touch Exchange of Die) method Constructive solutions for fast setup processes Work organisation options for fast setup processes Influence on production control Practical implementation of methods in a model plant is able to recognise waste knows the importance of short setup times for fast and economical order processing, flexible production and low inventories can apply and teach the SMED method 1 day /EUR xxx 46 Online booking:
