course objectives
This very comprehensive and intensive course is an in-depth, "hands-on" presentation of the World-Class Manufacturing scenario.
It illustrates the cultural prerequisites necessary to switch over to world-class status, as well as the operational disciplines that should be deployed and applied in a high calibre manufacturing concern.
This course is tailored:
- to make participants aware of the strategic importance of aiming at high levels of Performance in a "Global Market" situation
- to make participants acquainted with those principles required to understand, measure, self-assess and monitor Industrial Performance
- to give delegates an in depth appreciation of the "state-of-the-art" philosophy, disciplines and techniques available to enable every manufacturing enterprise to perform at world-class level, and illustrate principles and methods that can and should be applied in factories of all types and sizes to achieve continuous Performance improvements
- to stress the importance of an integrated, holistic approach to Performance, with emphasis on achieving short, medium and long term goals
- and to highlight the necessity of a strong and modern corporate industrial culture as a prerequisite to direct any manufacturing enterprise towards new performing targets
This course is very interactive and supplemented with abundant practical exercises and case studies
