LEAN Manufacturing

Are new product costs under target and less than the competition? The Design for LEAN Manufacturing and Assembly Class* charts a direct line through the causes that account for 80% of the excess cost in products and how to eliminate them. The class provides design check lists for engineers to follow to achieve the best results; then real world exam... ples show how following the check lists produce the best results. Special emphasis is given on how to combine parts, reduce part count and lower total cost. Presented are unique concepts of how to design parts to leverage manufacturing processes to achieve extraordinary cost savings. Learn how to design lower cost parts and assemblies for LEAN Manufacturing. An engineer used one check list from the combining parts section of class to redesign a typical approach used in the company. The new design resulted in a $22,000 annual cost savings. New product development time faster than the competition and technology? The New Product Introduction Class* provides a proven method for new product develop, covers how to create product support teams, manage new product development projects to be on time, at cost and deliver products to market faster. Are engineering changes implemented well and lowering product costs? The Engineering Change Class* covers ECO fundamentals, how engineers should process ECOs, how to reduce cost in existing products while processing ECOs, how to obsolete products and best practices in managing the ECO process. Want to lower the assembly cost of your products? Ask a person who knows what drives assembly costs and knows how to design an assembly process for the lowest costs, assemble products in the shortest time with a process that can flex to meet changing market demands when needed. Want to lower fabricated parts cost in your products? Ask a person who knows how manufacturing processes work, what drives process costs and knows how to take advantage of the process to lower costs. A senior manufacturing company executive told David, his concepts of ...Read More
