The MRP-LEAN Manufacturing Seminar-in-a-Box
Bill Gaw's 3-most effective MRP-LEAN training tools

1. Stockless Production Video
This is the famous "Oldie but Goodie" HP video that
demonstrates the Pull vs. Push production systems,  one-piece-flow,  stockless production, and cycle time management. It helps everyone gain an understanding of lean manufacturing benefits (Like work becomes fun again)

2. The Manufacturing Simulation Game
Participative exercises that demonstrate the benefits of Pull (LEAN) production over Push (MRP) production. The game employs sequential production, kanban and point-of-use inventory and demonstrates how quality, cycle times, and productivity improve while reducing inventory, scrap, rework, and floor space requirements.

For complete details click here---> Manufacturing Simulation Game

             


Game Process Synopsis 

Active participation for 6 to 12 people with sideline observation note taking by up to 20 observers.

Team builds 20 Lego Towers of two configurations, 6 MRP subassemblies... from 320 LEGO Bricks.

MRP (Push) simulation includes stockroom, shop order picking and subassembly production. Time to complete: 15-45 minutes depending on team skill level.

Pull manufacturing simulation sets up a "one- piece" flow production line using JIT and kanbans. Time to complete: 5-10 minutes depending on team skill level.

A post-forum review initiates a discussion of the pros and cons of each methodology.

 


3.  8-Essentials of MRP-LEAN Manufacturing Leadership
 

  Train-the-Trainer Manual

CD - Strategic Planning & Tactical Execution Tutorial -  Strategic planning is a effective lean leadership process that many companies employ to identify their critical success targets that set the course for future growth and profits. Lewis Carroll in “Alice in Wonderland” makes a good case for it: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” said Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where…,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
For additional information--->
Strategic and Tactical Planning

CD, Resource Planning Tutorial - The inadequate and untimely availability of resources is a major cause of leadership's failure to meet their strategic objectives and profit margin forecasts.

CD, Value Stream Mapping Tutorial -  Maps and flowcharts help make work visible. Increased visibility improves communication and understanding, and provides a common frame of reference for those involved with the business and work process.

Value Stream Mapping

CD - Performance Measurement Tutorial - Financial numbers may tell us who's winning the war, but it takes a motivational measurement system to win all the battles along the way.  Remember, "without data you're just another opinion."

Motivational Measurement

CD, Kaizen Management Tutorial -  If your organization can handle only one change initiative at a time, then let it be the implementation of a “continuous improvement” kaizen program. There just isn’t any other more important program in our pursuit of profits.
To check it out, click here---> Kaizen Process Management

CD, Lean Manufacturing Tutorial - If your manufactur-ing company needs to increase speed, improve quality while reducing non-value added costs this training tutorial has the road map. Many of the manufacturing process leadership principles and techniques presented are applicable to all industries.

Lean Manufacturing

CD - Supply Chain Management Tutorial -  Material handling and storage are two of business’s high cost, non-value added activities. The elimination of the stock room, as it is known today, should be a strategic objective of all manufacturers. It’s time to realize that there is much more to supply chain management than simply placing purchase orders with the lowest price bidder.

Supply Chain Management

CD - Thinking Outside the Box Tutorial - Skills are required by everybody. Each and everyone needs to continuously challenge and expand their ways of thinking to enhance personal and business success.

Much more that the competition and at a 43 percent discount

Believe it... "there is no free lunch!"

If you search the Internet for manufacturing knowledge and skills, you'll come across a ton of stuff... and most of it free.

Now I've had people tell me that they don't need to purchase anything because "you can get so much free stuff on the net."  

Admittedly, like I said a second ago, there is a ton of free stuff on the net...and if you put it all together you'd probably have over a 100 hours of YouTube videos, and a million pages of white papers and case studies.  

So if you had over 100 hours of YouTube videos, and a million pages of white papers and case studies would you and your company realize your full growth and earning potentials?  

Let me answer that for you... NOOOOOO!

Most training materials today are either Adobe .pdf e-books with little or no
effective graphics. PowerPoint presentations with no commentary to explain the content of the charts and graphs. Videos that tell you what to do but with very little implementation and/or optimization “know how.” Seminars and webinars present a lot of material but most attendee’s retention rate is less than 25% and most of it is forgotten after two weeks back in the trenches.

Bill Gaw's seminar-in-a-box on the other hand includes: a single theme "Push vs. Pull Video with stay-with-you humor, participative exercises to drive home the important benefits of MRP-LEAN integration, and 8-Power-Point-Plus Tutorials with powerful,  Power-Point charts and graphics, plus annotated note pages with "slide commentary" and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" manufacturing professional.
