What You Can Expect From This Seminar
Lean Equipment Management is NOT about improving maintenance, but rather
improving equipment- the single largest investment of most manufacturing
companies and utilities. Reliable equipment is one of the most fundamental
enablers of lean manufacturing in an equipment-intensive business. Reliable
equipment reduces work-in-process inventories, reduces processing delays,
improves flow, improves quality, eliminates many "waiting" wastes, and reduces
operating and maintenance costs. Lean Equipment principles, based on the pillars
of TPM, address people, their equipment, and the work processes they use.
Learn how to determine the extent of equipment-related losses: scheduled
shut-downs, downtime, inefficiency, quality and yield. Starting points for Lean
Equipment Management depends on the "maturity" of your maintenance work. This
seminar aims for fast and sustainable results.
"Many Lean initiatives overlook the equipment-related wastes than Lean
Equipment Management and TPM address. TPM grew out of the early stages of the
Toyota Production System as a high-involvement way to eliminate equipment
related losses. TPM can help launch your Lean initiative with early, sustainable
successes. See fast, focused, and sustainable results in two weeks to two
months."
-Robert M. Williamson, Seminar Leader
