THIRD LEAN AND FLEXIBLE CONFERENCE

Join Hoerbiger Corporation of America on their journey to learn and 
advance Lean for high-mix low-volume (HMLV)

Goal
Small and medium enterprises (SME) engaged in high-mix low-volume (HMLV) 
manufacturing operate more like jobshops.  They do not operate like Toyota 
with their multi-product assembly lines with each line assembling a 
limited variety of automobiles.  Therefore, in order to be able to deliver 
orders by due dates to their many customers, HMLV manufacturers must be 
both Lean (efficient and waste-free) and Flexible (able to rapidly 
changeover their machines, work cells and support systems to produce a 
variety of products).  So how do we simultaneously achieve two seemingly 
opposite and conflicting capabilities in the same production system? This 
is the focus of the conference! 

Takeaways
·       Attend a tutorial on new approaches for building and operating a 
high-mix low-volume (HMLV) manufacturing facility 
·       Attend a 2-hour workshop titled 100% of Lean tools work!  70% of 
Lean implementations fail! on how to facilitate a successful Lean 
implementation
·       Discover how interns who received effective mentoring from 
internal stakeholders helped Hoerbiger Corporation of America (Houston) to 
execute important projects in a single semester
·       Participate in an Open Forum Discussion with like-minded peers 
working in HMLV manufacturing facilities
·       Network with like-minded peers working in HMLV manufacturing 
facilities
·       Join the Texas Consortium for High-Mix Low-Volume (HMLV) 
Manufacturing to share best practices and implementation experiences 

A Special Takeaway 
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 contain all the teaching materials that were developed to educate IE 
students and practitioners about the concepts, methods and tools for 
implementing JobshopLean.
