The Improving Production Reliability Workshop is a 3 day class that will review the application of the Production Improvement Cycle and associated production improvement methodologies as well as tools for enhanced plant performance with regard to throughput, operating expense and customer service.
The workshop will provide instruction and practical exercises for participants covering:
Identifying, classifying and quantifying production losses and waste
Identifying projects/actions, including a standard process, metrics and review procedures to reduce or eliminate losses and waste
Development of leading indicators and metrics for tracking progress and maintaining control
Determining how a problem solution or process change is tested, developed into a specific set of instructions/procedures, standardized, and proliferated
The course will also highlight the role of Operations Management in establishing and managing an effective production optimization program for the facility.
WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN
Calculation of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE – Asset Utilization and Equipment Performance)
Identification and classification of production losses to create a loss map
How to analyze a loss map to determine improvement themes
Establishment of reliability performance measures to track and guide production improvement
Production analysis tools including Process and Value Stream Mapping
Root cause analysis tools including 5 Whys, and Cause and Effect Diagrams
Production process improvement tools including Constraint Management, Standard Operations and Quick Change Over and Start Up (SMED)
Development, implementation and management of a Production Improvement Plan
WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE:
AAn Improving Production Reliability Workshop Participation Certificate
A Pocket Reference Manual
A Workshop Manual and Best Practices Matrix
