course code 3. 13

What is the course for

#1

Increase operational flexibility

#2

Reduce costs from product changes

#3

• Improve service levels

Thanks to Shigeo Shingo, the technique of optimising and reducing product or format change times has been a necessity for all companies since the 1950’s, regardless of the product and technology sector. Today, thanks to new technologies to study and analyse labour, it is possible to achieve levels of optimisation that were previously unthinkable. This training course aims to share all these techniques through a theoretical and practical experience and bring out the participants’ ability to optimise set up in complete independence.

  • Develop and enhance people’s skills

Addressed to

  • Supply Chain Managers
  • Maintenance Managers
  • Production Managers
  • Maintenance Technicians
  • Production Supervisors
  • Process Engineers
  • Industrial time and methods personnel and supervisors
  • Operators
