Business Improvement MareNet Workshop, Tuesday 9th December 2008
Venue: The Port House, Port Solent, PO6 4TH
Marine South East is delighted to be partnering the Manufacturing Advisory Service South East to offer marine companies this highly relevant half-day Marine Business Improvement Workshop.
This workshop will enable your company to create its own Lean processes in order to achieve astonishing results.
Did you know that 95% of the time taken from order receipt to product despatch adds no value to your product or service, only cost? 'Lean manufacturing' is the name given to a range of simple yet effective techniques that aim to slash the amount of 'non-value adding' activity at little or no cost.
Lean principles are equally at home in the office as on the shop-floor and the Lean techniques can be applied through-out any business, from product design through to sales ordering, and from highly technical problem solving through to simple administrative tasks. Lean practices are highly suitable for both small enterprises as well as the world's largest businesses.
Typical benefits enjoyed by companies who adopt Lean techniques include:
- 25-50% increase in productivity
- 50% reduction in space
- 50% improvement in quality
- 50-90% reduction in lead time
- Improved cash flow
- Improved profitability
- Empowered and motivated workforce
- Improved customer service
This free introductory half-day workshop will introduce company's to the fundamentals of Lean thinking and the application of tools and techniques such as 5S, 7+1 Wastes, VA and NVA, Push vs Pull, Kanban, Flow and process mapping.
This free, interactive, marine specific workshop is ideally suited to MD's and senior managers or to those who can make changes to work processes. The methodologies of Lean are effective in every type of business from R&D through to logistics and service as well as manufacturing.
