Lean Manufacturing

Three days dedicated to the synergy of Lean Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, in which to understand how enabling technologies can support the pillars of Lean World Class® and accelerate the Lean & Digital Transformation.

Participants will experience through hands-on manufacturing sessions on an assembly process the benefits of digital and integrated data and information management, and in particular:

  • Digital Instruction & Input: Digital management of assembly instructions and quality control
  • Collect & Analyze: Data Collection from Assembly, Component and Fault Tracking
  • Flash Meeting: Digital Dashboard to visualize collected data and key indicators in real time, eliminating low value-added manual tasks, to focus on finding solutions.

CONTENTS

  • The Lean World Class® approach
