[Iefac.list] A Conference that Integrates Lean and IE

[shahrukh.irani at hoerbiger.com]

SECOND LEAN AND FLEXIBLE CONFERENCE

Goal of the Conference
HMLV manufacturers with a Make-To-Order business strategy must produce a 
variety of products and deliver orders for those products to their 
customers by pre-determined due dates.  These manufacturers need to be 
both Lean (efficient and waste-free) and Flexible (able to rapidly 
changeover their machines, work cells and support systems).  How could 
they simultaneously achieve these two seemingly opposite and conflicting 
objectives of Lean and Flexibility? 

Takeaways for Conference Attendees
·       Learn how to design and operate HMLV (high-mix low-volume) 
manufacturing facilities 
·       Learn how to engage the entire organization from the C-Suite to 
the shop floor to implement basic and advanced improvements in HMLV 
manufacturing facilities
·       Participate in a 90-minute Open Forum on the subject of Lean 
Leadership, Culture Change and Workforce Development with a panel of 
industry experts
·       Network with like-minded peers working in HMLV manufacturing 
facilities

A Special Takeaway for ONE Conference Attendee 
The conference will conclude with a raffle.  The winner of the raffle will 
get a free copy of a 5-DVD educational package on JobshopLean.  These 
DVD’s carry all of the teaching materials that were developed from 
1996-2012 to educate IE students and industry practitioners about the 
concepts, methods and tools for implementing JobshopLean.
