Genba Kanri Training |
Our approach is geared to Clients’ needs and means - we prefer not offer set-piece, one-size-fits-all 'products' - but we are able to support people at all levels in the organisation to achieve their long-term business goals. For a full data sheet on any subject, please use the 'contact' submission form, noting the P or T number |
These are qualitative outlines of training programmes: they may include a number of interventions, involving presentations, supported practical activity, ‘homework’ and later review. Timing, duration etc. depend on your needs, capabilities and resources. |
P1 | Our Values and Approach We recognise that our motives and approach may not suit everyone - this datasheet will help you to determine whether or not we can work together. |
P2 | Our Training Mode recognises that there are no short cuts to effecting sustained behavioural change – we work on concepts, tools and systems, as they apply in your organisation. |
P3 | The Comprehensive Programme Summary illustrates a process for a company-wide programme, including many aspects of the approaches listed below. |
P4 | Foundations for Continuous Improvement - establishing the pre-requisite understanding and alignment for a company-wide CI programme. |
P5 | Workplace Organisation (5C) - optimising the content and configuration of the working environment in support of effective process management. |
P6 | Just in Time Manufacturing - imparting the disciplines of pull, flow, and tact to the process; exposing and reducing waste, irregularity and difficulty. Cellular Manufacturing; One-Piece-Flow; Mixed Production; Cost Down - are all popular themes for productivity! |
P7 |
Total Productive Maintenance - getting the most from equipment through increased reliability, reduced cycle times, reduced maintenance time, extended life, and greater added-value. |
P8 | Total Quality Control - imparting the tools and techniques of problem solving and introducing a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating variation and problems. |
P9 | Service Process Improvement - defining very clearly what is needed in terms of Quality Cost and Delivery terms, and optimising the supply process - where information is the ‘product’. For office / admin processes. |
P10 | Quick Changeover - minimising the time taken for a machine or process to switch from one activity to another, enabling more frequent changes and inventory reduction. |
P11 | Standard Operations - standardising working methods, imparting confidence in the reliability and dependability of the process to achieve QCD targets, taking away waste and uncertainty. |
P12 |
Supplier Development - measuring, evaluating and developing the overall capability of suppliers. |
P13 | Workshop Management – a basic yet holistic approach to Supervisor development through classroom training and ‘hand on’ practical activity in the workplace |
P14 | First Time Quality – a Process and Results approach to setting ‘what’ standards for products and services, then establishing methods and process parameters to assure the ‘how’ |
P15 | Genba Kanri – the prime foci of genba kanri: the role of the Supervisor as business manager of his/her section; Diagnosis as a driver of PDCA; QCDSPM dimensions for improvement. |
P16 | Six Sigma - a statistics-driven approach to QCD improvement, now embracing wider humanistic aspects of World Class practice |
