Creating Continuous Flow
The objective of this training is to create a system whereby your organization receives and produces only what is needed exactly when it is needed. Key topics include:
- Planning for implementation of continuous flow cells and pull systems to manage raw material
- Work in process
- Finished goods inventory
Creating High Performance Cells
Properly designed cells can improve productivity by 50% while reducing scrap and in-process inventory by 90%. Learn how to apply the principals of the visual factory and 5S to shorten process cycle times, and eliminate unnecessary waste in your operations. Review cell design principles and practice with hands-on simulations.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Time-based competition demands that today's manufacturers implement agile manufacturing systems. These systems, known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), put the customer at the center.
The implementation of ERP is a major undertaking and culture change. It requires significant commitment of your company's resources. For these reasons, companies typically implement new systems only once every ten years.
BIS can help with all aspects of this process, from software selection to implementation. Each project plan is tailored to meet your unique needs.

What is a Lean Kaizen Event?
- Kaizen is a word that means continuous improvement.
- Lean is a philosophy of eliminating waste in all operations.
- A Lean Kaizen Event is a way to accelerate the continuous improvement and waste reduction activities by using a focused group of people on a team with a mission - to improve on cost, time and space for a particular product or process - and a deadline (one week from the start of the project).
Key benefits from holding an event include making fast, dramatic improvements in a process, and training employees in the tools that will help them spread these improvements throughout the organization.
