This is a combination of our 4-hour Standard Work and 4-hour Error Proofing courses delivered in the same day.
Standard Work
The documentation and application of best practices to allow production operations to be performed the same way each time. In our half-day program we’ll talk about takt time (the time needed to produce a product at a rate equal to the pace of sales); standard work sequence (the order in which a worker performs tasks) and standard in-process inventory (minimum number of parts required to keep a process moving.)
Error Proofing
In order to produce zero defective parts (ideal state), a system needs to be in place to help prevent errors, and increase chances of detection so failure mode occurrences are eliminated. In this overview, we’ll introduce the concept of error proofing and poka yoke, and talk about the types of error-proofing opportunities & categories.
