Techniques for the optimization of the materials flow and internal stocks in the processes
Lean Manufacturing
How to utilise Just-in-Time (JIT) concepts and techniques to enhance the material flow and decrease internal stocks, from standardising the number of components put in each container (Kanban - quantities per reference and type of packaging), to improvement techniques in lay out, and defining and standardising Work in Progress (WIP).
The expense and management of materials have always been crucial elements in achieving a suitable degree of competitiveness in the marketplace.
The integration of JIT techniques and tools into the Lean production system allows for the determination of material flow, speed, and optimal inventory levels at each production station.
This helps to minimise material consumption, while aligning with the Lean philosophy and JIT techniques.
The objective of the Techniques for Optimising Material Flow and Internal Stock Processes course is:
To plan the most efficient flow of materials, establishing standard stock levels for each production phase and the entire process (standard WIP), determining the speed of this flow by defining the Takt Time.
Comparing the current situation with the planned situation will enable the identification of required measures to stabilise and improve the situation.
This course is aimed at:
- Operations Managers.
- Production Managers.
- Logistics Managers.
Duration: 40 hours
