F26: Lean Tools: Flow & Pull in High Variety Environment (Room S401A)

11 Nov 19
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Tracks: Lean, Management, MANAGEMENT

Speaker(s): Kevin Duggan
Creating flow in fabrication shops with a high complexity of products, demand and shared resources can be challenging. Here, our presenter will show attendees how to apply advanced lean principles to create a value stream of multiple product flows at the pull of the customer with a step-by-step process. We will then show these concepts in action through real-world case studies of complex manufacturing operations that have gone beyond basic value stream mapping to create a future state that supports mixed model production. The end result is a process that will reduce inventory, increase on-time delivery, and improve quality to yield a competitive advantage and increased market share.
