Company Assessments
A company assessment is a fast way to identify your strengths and weaknesses through a comprehensive review of your operations. The assessment gathers information about many different areas and aspects of your company, and then gives you an idea of where you have a need for improvement or an area to capitalize on new opportunities. Most important, the assessment allows you to "see the big picture" and then put priorities in perspective and develop long-term, profitable solutions.
Lean Manufacturing
While traditional manufacturing philosophies stress high utilization of machinery and manpower with little concern for cycle time or manufacturing waste, the Lean Manufacturing production philosophy focuses on creating greater production efficiencies through maximizing value-added activities while minimizing waste.
TWI Training
TWI consists of three standardized programs that teach the essential skills needed by all 3
supervisors and team leaders, regardless of their industry. These programs are: Skill in
Instruction, Skill in Improving Methods, and Skill in Leading People.
Participants attend class for 2 hours each day for 5 consecutive days and they return to the
workplace after each session to apply the techniques learned. Each participant must select a
current day workplace problem and demonstrate to the class how they applied the method to solve
that problem. Class materials include pocket reference cards for daily use to keep the improvements
coming after the training has been completed. Small class sizes of from 8 to 10 people keep
everyone involved to maximize learning.
