See feedback from this workshop, "... To put it mildly, the workshop was AWESOME! It seemed to last only 30 mins. and not 3 hours. The handouts were great and the presentation with examples made it very easy to follow the complicated topic. I learned a lot about the topic and not nearly enough! I actually would be interested in hearing more about this topic and even taking the tour to the Toyota plant. I also have some colleagues that I would like to involve!"

Lean
Manufacturing 101: The Basics & Getting Started
Roger Olson
with member Stefanie Angel from June 2002 1hr meeting.
Lean
Manufacturing as a concept and a phrase became mainstream with the publication
of The Machine That Changed the World by
Womack, Jones and Roos in 1990. Their book stated that with Lean
Production, companies would require half the human effort, half the
manufacturing space, half the investment tools, half the engineering hours and
half the time to develop new products than their mass production counterparts.
Since that time, Industry Week Magazine estimates less than 10% of American
manufacturing companies have made significant progress towards becoming a lean
manufacturer. On the other hand, 90% have made little or no progress.
Mr. Olson’s presentation will cover the obstacles to becoming a lean
manufacturer and what organizations need to do to be successful with their lean
manufacturing efforts.
