Lean Short Course - Blue Belt
The Lean Short Blue Belt training course is designed for people who seek to implement Lean principles and within their organisation. The course features many of the well published tools and techniques including Value Stream Mapping, 5S, 7 wastes, SMED, visual controls and Kanban. There is a wide range of in class exercises demonstrating how to go from Lean principles through to full implementation. These exercises will show how to gain the key benefits from Lean in terms of Quality, Cost and Delivery.
Objectives
- Provide a thorough understanding of the basic Lean tools and techniques
- Enable attendees to analyse value streams and eliminate waste from them
- Enable attendees to deliver real savings in terms of:-

The Gateway Arch is known as the "Gateway to the West". It is the tallest habitable structure in St. Louis as well as the world's tallest monument. Construction began February 12, 1963 and the last section of the Arch was completed on October 28, 1965. The Arch is a structure known as a catenary curve, the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends, and considered the most structurally-sound arch shape. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history. In order to ensure that the constructed legs would meet, the margin of error for failure was 1/64th of an inch. All survey work was done at night to eliminate distortion caused by the sun's rays. Since the Arch was constructed before the advent of computer technology, relatively crude instruments were used for these measurements. |
