Ad hoc programmes

A variety of other lean workshops are available and can be tailored to the needs of the organisation. These include topics such as kanban, poka-yoke, Kaizen Blitz, cell design, quick changeover (SMED), teamwork, lean  supply and lean culture. Also, any of the Lean Specialist modules may be attended individually, as a separate workshop.

 

 

 

Text Box: Offering modes There are two basic modes in which the workshops can be offered to suit your training needs. These are as follows: Do the accredited workshop at the Business School facilities. Refreshments and study material are included in the charge. This has the benefit of isolating the delegates from the work situation to enhance learning. Do the accredited workshop at you own facility. We still provide the study material. This has the benefit that practical exercises can be performed at the workplace.

The following range of courses is suggested: Text Box: 2008: Workshops offered by the Lean Manufacturing Group Text Box: The Lean Manufacturing Group of the NMMU Business School has developed several courses and workshops as part of its initiative to spread the implementation of Lean Manufacturing in South Africa. The workshops are the outcome of extensive research, experimentation and benchmarking on presentation modes, pricing and content. The workshops are presented by experts in the field and introduce the best current thinking on the implementation methods through interactive instructional methods.
