Leveraging Lean Techniques in Aerospace & Defense, Complex Manufacturing and Job Shops - A Primer An Executive Overview: Information practitioners need to drive the implementation of World Class Manufacturing and Lean methodologies in Complex Manufacturing and Job Shops. Who Should Attend:Business owners, CEOs, Presidents, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, Lean, Six Sigma & Operational Excellence Champions, and Materials/Operations professionals, - people with an interest in learning how to leverage Lean/World Class Manufacturing methodologies, practices and principles in their Complex Manufacturing and/or Job Shop operations. This compelling presentation gives executives and practitioners insights into this subject matter and provides ideas to consider in the years ahead. About the Presentation:We hear all the time that, "Lean does not work in Defense Manufacturing, Job Shops or in Complex Manufacturing - it's only good for repetitive production - like automotive". Having worked extensively with companies in all of these categories, we beg to differ. This compelling, interactive presentation and exercises give insights into this complex subject matter and provide ideas and concepts to apply in your business immediately. In this workshop, we will briefly cover the history, differences, and similarities between traditional management approaches and Lean Manufacturing while combining lecture and exercises. Lean has been made famous over the last 20 years as part of the Toyota Production System (TPS) and by popular books like Lean Thinking by James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones.
