If you answered YES to any of the above questions, stay connected and you'll discover how Bill Gaw's 3-Step, Production Manufacturing Training Program can change your professional life and your company's bottom line for the better.

Bill Gaw's 3-Step, Back-to-Basics,
Production Manufacturing, Training Program

Step 1. Everyone gains an understand and buys into the
              concept of production manufacturing.

Step 2. MRP supporters become production manufacturing
             advocates and lean manufacturing champions.

Step 3. Manufacturing teams identify and master the
              8-Basics of Lean Manufacturing.

Are you concerned about job related stress? Are you troubled by seemingly unrealistic expectations? Are you frustrated by too many challenges on your plate? Are you worried about your company's future... your Future? Do you want to reach your full growth and earning potentials?

If so, you have come to the right place. Here you'll discover Bill Gaw's unique training program, training to help you and your company exceed performance expectations. The only world class training program that address the 3-fundamental steps to production manufacturing success

 Step No. 1: The Production Manufacturing Concept

Objective: Everyone gains an understanding and buys into the the concept of  production manufacturing.

Training Tool: Video Presentation "Stockless Production." A classic, humorous video demonstrating the concept of world class manufacturing. This is the famous video that demonstrates "one-piece-flow,  stockless production, and cycle time management. It is the perfect starting point for production manufacturing training as it provides an ideal introduction to the concept of production manufacturing.

Step No. 2: MRP to Lean Manufacturing Paradigm Shift

Objective: Transforming MRP supporters into world class manufacturing advocates and production manufacturing champions.

Training Tool: The Manufacturing Simulation Game: Participative exercises that pits an MRP "Order Launch and Expedite" System against lean manufacturing. Showtime was developed by Bill Gaw as a catalyst for achieving the most difficult challenge for world class manufacturing... changing MRP leaders into advocates and champions of production manufacturing.

The manufacturing simulation game, demonstrates the benefits of pull manufacturing and manufacturing cells (lean Manufacturing) versus push/batch manufacturing. The game compares batch or push manufacturing techniques (traditional manufacturing) to one piece pull manufacturing using sequential production. It shows how quality and productivity improve while reducing WIP inventory, scrap, rework, and floor space required. The game has been designed for 6-8 participants with unlimited observers. It is based upon each participant taking an active role in running a mini-production line where ‘real’ products are manufactured.

Action-Learning Featuring:

  • Detailed instructions that describe how each exercise is set up and carried out. Also instructions on what non-participants should be watching and recording for the "after game forum."

  • Hands-on participation by teams that will setup  MRP and lean  manufacturing factory simulations for comparing the effectiveness of two distinct manufacturing methodologies:


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 from 300 pieces... 6 subassemblies.

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

  • Lean 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 creates a discussion of the pros and cons of each methodology.

 

  • The MRP/ERP Manufacturing Simulation Game will clearly demonstrate the complexity of shop floor control under a standard MRP/ERP (Push) manufacturing system. The opening of shop orders, picking of parts, building of assemblies and the final product production process are carried out in real-time.

  • The Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game is a demonstration of how sequential production and point-of-use logistics can turn a marginally successful product line into a huge winners.

  • Cycle Time Management is demonstrated and recorded, pros and cons of each methodology recorded and post exercise forum drive home the lean manufacturing paradigm. 

Step No. 3: Establishing a Production Manufacturing Culture

Objective: Operations teams learn to identify and master the BASICS of lean management.

Training Tool: The e-Tutorial: 8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing To make it easy for you and your company to study. implement and master Bill Gaw's  8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing... 8-BASICS for optimizing MRP, ERP, and production manufacturing success... 8-BASICS for increasing speed, improving quality and reducing non-value-added costs... 8-BASICS for bullet-proofing operations solutions that permanently eliminate factory chaos and the end-of-the-month crunch... 8-BASICS for transforming chaos into a fun working environment.

Most training materials today are PowerPoint® bullet presentations... a simple slide show. Bill Gaw's e-Tutorial on the other hand includes 155-powerful, PowerPoint® graphics, "plus" annotated note pages with explanations, and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" professional. A value added, learning experience on "how to" design, implement and deploy a production manufacturing methodology for personal and company success. 

And, it's the "how to" that really counts!

One of our customers said it even better than we can:

"Bill Gaw's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other training materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill's Production Manufacturing Training Program presents what you need to do and then Bill shows you how to do it."

                                    T.J. Imholts, VP Operations, Adstore Inc.

If you've ever said, "There must be a better way." 
... there is, and it's not more computerization!

Do you want to optimize personal and company success? If so... you need to identify and master the basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™. "Many historic, recurring day-to-day problems (perhaps the same problems that plague your operation) can be permanently eliminated by a tenacious execution of Bill Gaw's basics and best practices. 

And Bill's e-tutorial makes it easy for you and your company to study and master the  8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing... 8-BASICS for optimizing MRP, ERP, and lean manufacturing success... 8-BASICS for increasing speed, improving quality and reducing non-value-added costs... 8-BASICS for bullet-proofing lean manufacturing solutions that permanently eliminate factory chaos and the end-of-the-month crunch... 8-BASICS for creating a fun working environment.

It's the BASICS, friend! 

I realize the word "BASICS " is not very sexy. But it is a very important thing to understand. 

Many years ago Vince Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers football team to unprecedented success by having an almost obsessive focus on doing the BASICS very well. 

It’s amazing how many individuals and companies have great visions yet fail to achieve their full growth and earning potentials. They're a lot like the Green Bay Packers' football team before the arrival of Vince Lombardi... all the potential in the world but with no focus on executing the basics of their business and profession. 

The fact is, business basics... the things that serve as a solid foundation for growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born... and won't change after you're dust.

It's tempting to think that they do... that the introduction of change initiatives like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM) and Six Sigma can change the basics.

I understand the temptation. I can only caution against it.

Mastering the proven basics of what has worked in the past will establish the foundation needed to successfully implement and optimize the change initiatives of today and tomorrow. Best of all, work will become fun again

We must constantly retool ourselves, become 
perpetual students, or we risk becoming obsolete.

                                                                       
Price Pritchett

Another customer saying it even better than we can:

Your WCLM training materials are the easiest and fastest way to understand the practicalities of manufacturing processes that I have seen in many years of management consulting activity. I intend to use them in my practice, if you are agreeable, since I am now extending into new consulting areas.
