SUMMARY:Workshop: Diving Deeper into Lean and Smart Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Diving Deeper into Lean and Smart Manufacturing | Tuesday\, October 27 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM Central Time (US & Canada) \nSpeakers: Conrad Leiva\, VP of Ecosystem and Workforce Development at CESMII\, Tim Stuart\, President at Visual Decisions\, Inc \nLean manufacturing principles have played a significant role in driving efficiency across organizations through their emphasis on cost reduction\, waste elimination\, and THE customer. These principles have driven continuous improvement initiatives for many manufacturers. Today we see a wave of Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing technologies being implemented by leading manufacturers. Does that mean that Lean principles are no longer needed? The opposite is true. \nThe intersection of Lean and Digital has been coined “Digital Lean” and we will discuss examples of how this powerful combination of timeless lean principles and the latest digital technologies is reducing waste and variability in manufacturing processes. Digital lean isn’t a separate set of lean principles but a powerful enhancement of existing methodologies. Leveraging Smart Manufacturing technologies\, Digital Lean techniques deliver precise\, timely\, and detailed operational insights\, elevating the application of lean principles.
