Cardboard Engineering

Why attend this workshop?

Cardboard Engineering is a tool for supporting organization of innovative work systems. Using professional process analysis tools and implementing improvements in value adding system, participants will create and test a waste-free working system. Cardboard Engineering allows to minimize cost of implementing changes. 

The goal and expected results:

The goal of the workshop is to make participants skilful in process improvement methodology using lean techniques. During 3-days workshop you will learn in practice how to transform existing processes into highly flexible, value –adding system using most modern production concepts. Working as a team you will analyse real process, identify improvement potential, define action plan and implement solutions in Cardboard. Experienced trainers will guide you all the time and show how to use video analysis, audits and cardboard engineering for process improvement. These tools will support you in future activities of waste elimination. You will get to know how to design optimal value added processes, how to optimize material flow and create standards.

Who should attend?

-  Production managers and supervisors
-  Continuous improvement leaders
-  Value stream managers
