In order for your lean initiative to be successful over the long term you will need all of your assets (your people and your equipment) working optimally. Now in this week long event, we have created one great conference with two unique tracks. Be certain you are positioned for success by addressing these two indispensable aspects of Lean. Whether you are working to build a Lean culture or an equipment reliability program, this conference is for you! Focus on Culture or Equipment or both…you choose. Select from over 40 sessions and build a curriculum that best suits your needs.
From Pockets of Excellence to Sustained Improvements...Building a Lean Culture
Building a culture of continuous improvement is critical to the success of your improvement efforts. But despite Taiichi Ohno's insistence that "building products means building people," too many leaders allow enthusiasm for tools and techniques to take the place of the leadership behaviors and organizational structures needed to create involved employees and strong organizations for long term success. As a result, improvement efforts never reach their full potential.
From Reactive to Proactive...Implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
Moving from a reactive maintenance organization to a proactive maintenance organization requires constant improvement in the way the maintenance process is managed. To reach this goal, we must build a maintenance organization unburdened by firefighting and focused on preventive, scheduled and corrective maintenance activities. For it is only when we have achieved a stable maintenance operation that we can reach our overall Lean improvement goals.
