Principles Of Lean Manufacturing With Live Simulation - Pierce County Mfg

Impact Washington is partnering with EDB for Tacoma-Pierce County to provide a Lean 101 workshop.

Learn how to streamline your manufacturing processes and boost efficiency. This in-person event is perfect for anyone looking to grow their manufacturing business.

The workshop provides a practical overview, real-world success stories, and the hands-on tools needed to apply Lean principles to your organization. The focus is to learn how to deploy Lean in the manufacturing work environment to yield efficiency and improvement. These same tools can also be used across any industry to eliminate waste and improve efficiencies.

Interact with people from other industries.

Apply the tools in a simulation: 5S, Point-of-Use Storage, Total Production Maintenance, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban, Batch Size Reduction.

Participants will:
