process that can be used to solve any business related problem.
Tuition: $375
April 2, 2010 8 am - 5 pm Friday
Lean Culture - Most
challenges with organizational change are cultural rather than
technical - that's why developing a Lean Culture is an important
part of becoming Lean. It requires cultural changes in
both leaders and workers. Since people naturally tend to
resist change, there are many potential stumbling blocks.
In this one-day workshop, you will develop skills to support
culture change, learn methods to develop leadership and discover
employee involvement techniques used to manage and preserve the
gains created by lean manufacturing. Tuition: $375
February 25, 2010 9-5 p.m. Thursday
Lean Training Series at York Technical College
All Lean Training
is provided by SCMEP
instructors who are certified trainers for the Lean Manufacturing
workshop series sponsored by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership.
All the workshops are held twice
a year as open enrollments and are available on-site in
manufacturing plants as a contract class on an as-needed basis.
Manufacturing Specialist Rhonda Huskins is available to answer SCMEP questions/Lean

Principles of Lean Manufacturing: A Live
Simulation
This one-day course is a mix of classroom
and live manufacturing simulation that illustrates the power of
implementing Lean Manufacturing techniques. Participants begin
by manufacturing a product in a traditional manufacturing
setting. The results of the first round of simulation provide
the basis for continuous improvement, as the participants learn
about the different lean techniques and apply them in subsequent
rounds of the simulation. Previous participants have been able
to immediately apply the principles that were learned began seeing financial impact. Tuition: $375
January 22, 2010 8 am - 5 pm Friday
Lean
Office Tools
This one-day workshop is a mix of
classroom and live office simulation that illustrates the power
of implementing Lean Manufacturing techniques in an office
environment. The training will provide an overview of lean
concepts, and their application to office and administrative
processes. The participants will be introduced to the various
lean concepts, and be given the opportunity to apply them in a
simulated office. The participants will be able to measure the
impact of their improvement effort. Tuition: $375
February 5, 2010 8 am - 5 pm Friday
Value Stream Mapping
Learn to “see” the
flow of information and materials throughout the value stream in
an organization and use the resultant map to plan improvements
that will provide the most return on investment. Participants
will map the “Current State” of a case study manufacturing
company and then they will use Lean tools to develop a “Future
State” map for the case study company. Value Stream Mapping
participants will learn to identify and evaluate capacity,
value-added and non-value added activities, constraints,
resources, lead times, etc., in the value stream and plan the steps necessary to eliminate waste in
the value stream, and changes needed to achieve the enhanced
future state. Tuition: $375
February 19, 2010 8 am to 5 pm Friday
5S Workplace Organization & Standardization
The 5S System is a
series of activities designed to improve workplace organization
and standardization. These activities, all of which begin with
the letter S, include: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize and
Sustain. This one-day workshop offers you an
opportunity to experience first hand how the 5S System reduces
waste in the mounting plate assembly area of a simulated
production facility. Participants learn the concepts of 5S and
then apply them to transform a cluttered, disorganized
production area into a clean, organized and orderly workplace.
Tuition: $375
March 5, 2010 8:30 am to 5 pm Friday
Setup Reduction/Quick Changeover
This one-day workshop
allows participants to learn the principles of Setup reduction
and the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) System developed by
Dr. Shigeo Shingo. Participants will apply the four-step
Changeover Improvement Process to achieve Setup Reduction in a
simulation exercise. Participants will learn the basic principles of
Setup Reduction, learn to distinguish between internal and
external setup tasks, identify and apply proven techniques
for converting internal setup to external setup tasks, develop streamlined processes for
internal and external setup tasks and create an improved changeover process
that focuses on low (or no) cost solutions. Tuition: $375
March 19, 2010 8 am to 5 pm Friday
Total
Productive
Maintenance
This one-day Total Productive Maintenance
(TPM) workshop offers participants an opportunity to learn how
to maximize equipment productivity over extended periods. TPM
fosters an environment where improvement efforts in Safety,
Quality, Delivery, Cost and Creativity are encouraged through
the participation of all employees. Participants will gain an understanding of Overall
Equipment Effectiveness (QEE) and its relationship to
production capacity, learn how to detect and eliminate the
six major equipment related wastes and learn how to identify the causes of
75% of equipment breakdowns. A classroom simulation exercise will
demonstrate how TPM techniques achieve dramatic improvements in
uptime and increased equipment effectiveness. Tuition: $375
April 16, 2010 8 am to 5 pm Friday

The
Rock Hill Regional Lean
Alliance is a consortium of area manufacturers formed
in May
2004 to facilitate sharing of best practices in Lean Manufacturing.
The Alliance
holds one event monthly (exce pt July) at a member facility.
The meeting includes
a tour which typically demonstrates a Lean practice
being implemented by the host plant. After the tour, the visiting
Alliance members provide feedback feedback to the host on what was
observed. Members then take back any new ideas or information to
use in their own facilities. The Alliance conducts training
events, publishes a quarterly newsletter and conducts an annual
benchmark survey of members.
The
South Carolina Manufacturing
Extension Partnership or SCMEP (a private, non-profit company)
focuses on helping small- to mid-sized manufacturing companies
throughout the state by solving business and supply chain problems. As
an affiliate
of the National Institute of
Standards and Technologies (NIST), the SCMEP offers business and
technology assessments, engineering expertise and lean manufacturing
solutions. SCMEP provides support through on-site consultations and
partnership with state technological schools and research universities.
Using SCMEP’s services enables manufacturers to
see business benefits at a faster rate, more reasonable cost
than using a private consultant, and
enhances economic development in South Carolina.
A complementary Competitiveness
Review Assessment
is available from SCMEP. This nationally recognized tool provides on-site,
systematic evaluation of a manufacturer’s operation, measuring
performance against globally competitive criteria. It serves as a
diagnostic tool that provides short and long-range plans for continuous
improvement activity. The Review Report will provide general
observations, company scores in each review category (management,
marketing, operations, quality, energy/environmental management and
information technology), and recommendations for bottom-line
improvements. The assessment is conducted by a certified SCMEP
manufacturing specialist who has a proven profit improvement track
record. Areas covered are management, marketing, operations, quality,
energy/environmental management and information technology.
