STREAM Implementation Program Details
Building products the right way, and getting good at that through repetition, is the pathway to building a Lean culture in a manufacturing company. How do we know what is the "right way"? We look to the best examples of excellence that we have: to companies that are achieving high productivity, high quality, high profitability, as well as an engaged and enthusiastic workforce.These manufacturing companies typically apply what is called Flow Manufacturing. Taiichi Ohno, founder of the Toyota Production System, stated that the goal was to create a "River System" connecting all processes. This river, or flow, between processes is arguably the most important element of Lean Manufacturing.The STREAM program walks you through the step-by-step method for implementing flow, not in a classroom but through an actual implementation project for a target area of your plant. The key to the STREAM Program is that you will get trained while you implement. By the end of this program, you'll not only end up with a high-performing line, but you'll be able to take the habits that you have built during the project and apply them to other areas of your company.And that's how you build a Lean Culture!
