Develop Operational Excellence

Cell Design for Transforming the Manufacturing Process

In the last 20 years, the largest single event having a positive impact on garment manufacturing improvement has been the introduction of flexible manufacturing cells (team-based cells). This seminar is about how to make cells work effectively, based on the speaker experience with over 300 actual installations around the world (Toyota Sewing System). Flexible manufacturing cells are effective tools for making products, whether they be high or low volume, or high or low variety. The true value of cells comes only from matching the cellular to the factorys manufacturing strategies, adequately planning the activities, using a team approach, fastidiously designing the team characteristics, organizing the implementation to include resource constraints, and employing tracking mechanisms to make sure it all happens and remains in place for the long term.

Circle of Operational Excellence

TPS is sometimes thought of as a set of techniques, like just-in-time, but in reality it represents deeply held beliefs about how to develop Customer Demand Just-In-Time Jidoka

Operational Excellence

Pull Production

The Core Pillars of TPS are:

Just In Time Jidoka

Built-in Quality

Continuous Flow Stability

Standardized Work

The production-side principles are well known: 1. Just in time 2. Pull System Production (Standardization & Continuous Flow) 3. Built-in Quality 4. Flexible workforce 5. Profit by Cost Control

Seminar Objectives
This seminar will cover the principles and methods used to convert to quick response manufacturing and how to evaluate and implement a variety of manufacturing systems into the plant for better productivity and results. Other topics include: advantages of the approach; expected results; how to determine the optimal number of employees per team; how to design operating procedures; laying out responsibilities and rules; developing a planning calendar. In addition, you learn why simulation is necessary, and how to do it are the allimportant components of this seminar designed for engineers and managers. Participants can evaluate real-life production systems in a variety of apparel plants and, in the process, learn steps that will enable them to create simulation and define differences in techniques and line set-ups. Insights will be shared to help garment manufacturers avoid new problems and solve old ones leading to improved utilization of labor and machinery.
