Resources introduces
Lean Maintenance
Intensive workshop based on the
2008 hard cover Lean Maintenance
book
|
This course is designed for all levels
of maintenance personnel particularly maintenance
workers
. Supervisors, planners, managers, and maintenance engineers can also take it. The course works best when people from different levels, jobs or when people from different plants take it together. A diversity of opinions and experiences is desired.
We promise that the LEAN teams
will
identify and reduce waste.
Benefits from this
course:
- Save
money immediately
- Save resources
- Increase uptime
This course teaches specific techniques for
locating and attacking waste, and reducing costs of
operation. The outcome of the one-day session is a series of
cost reduction projects ready for execution. The projects
will be designed, prioritized and justified.

Unique presentation
The workshop is generally presented in 2 sections usually 2-4 weeks apart. Each section takes about 2-3 hours so that 2 sessions (of about 25 people) can be conducted per day. In the first session the groups will be introduced to waste and where to find it. They will then pick a Lean project to work on in the time between the sessions. In the second section they will present their findings and review how to prepare reports to management. Of course, both sessions can be given together also.
Three different options to deliver this course:
With all options we can customize both the presentation and the handout materials. Costs are very reasonable, please inquire. We can also combine the Lean Maintenance course with elements from any of our other maintenance management trainings.
Option 1: The most basic way is to just talk on the phone (or use E-mail) and then present a standard course in 2 one day sections. This course is tried and tested and has been used to good effect in many maintenance situations.
Option 2: The second and most common option involves a one day site visit before the first class, which allows the consultant to add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to more nearly suit your needs, meet some of the key players and see some of the special problems you face.
Option 3: Some organizations request that I perform a complete maintenance management audit in addition to the Lean Maintenance classes. That project usually takes a week but could be streamlined to be done in 4 days before the first session. I would be happy to provide a more detailed proposal if that is of interest.
