Introduction to Japan’s Lean Manufacturing System – MONODUKURI

You have been wondering:

 have been wondering: Despite working for many years at a Japanese factory, do the field leaders or managers really understand the essence of the production management tools that are being applied at the factory?

 You often hear about the Lean Manufacturing System or the Toyota Production System, but what does this system actually consist of? Is it being applied at your factory and is it achieving the expected results?

 How to evaluate if the ongoing improvement activities are effective and fully implemented?

The course will provide production managers or quality managers with a general understanding of the Lean Manufacturing System, to support managers in understanding the essence and effectively applying/improving the methods and tools of Lean Manufacturing at their own factory.

* The Lean Manufacturing System (LMS) is a generalization of the famous Toyota Production System that has been well-known worldwide since the 1990s and is still widely applied today. It is considered the pinnacle of manufacturing systems - producing advanced, high-quality products at low cost. The LMS includes basic concepts:

 ““Zero defect” and “Producing what is necessary, when it is necessary, and in the necessary quantity”

 When problems occur on the production line, the line should be stopped, and the root cause will be investigated thoroughly by continuously asking "why", then suitable measures will be taken to handle it.

 Eliminating "Mura - Fluctuation, Muri - Overburdened, and Muda - Waste" that may occur in the production site can improve production efficiency.
