No one knows a company better than its employees. Strengths and weaknesses of any company’s process outputs are often known by the employees responsible for them. Manufacturing and service industry process sequences can often contain a variety of individual defects and variability that are only understood by specific employees responsible for their specific aspect of the manufacturing procedure. Processing errors and variables that are left unresolved can compound the total inefficiency of any process, and are exacerbated by employees untrained in how to properly spot, communicate and fix problems in the processes.
Cadre takes the issue of training very seriously because employees are ultimately responsible for maintenance of processes and are critical in the optimization procedure. Cadre provides clients with all the necessary tools to train employees and members to identify process problems as well as collect, analyze and test data to determine solutions and implement projects.
Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma Training
Lean Manufacturing is highly recommended for any manufacturing and service industry based company. Optimization in processes is necessary to effectively generate a higher volume of products in a shorter time span while using fewer resources. Lean Manufacturing training involves the entire organization, which can be approached with a Cadre-based plan or with a client-operated training program supervised by a Cadre team member. The primary purpose of Lean Manufacturing training is to bring awareness to all employees about the elimination of waste, which is identified as any manageable element that is not optimized. This includes time, inventory, manufacturing space, personnel, material and finances throughout the entire processing spectrum that can be modified to eliminate errors and minimize variability. Cadre training and implementation of Lean Manufacturing will lead to an exceptionally effective manufacturing model and consistent high volume quality results.
Six Sigma follows the same principles of Lean Manufacturing but is designed to produce a higher level of processing results based on cost reduction and quality improvement through a specialized infrastructure of leaders. Cadre will help train Six Sigma leaders and members who can actively implement DMAIC and DFSS methodology based on verifiable data analysis and processes experiments. Six Sigma training will ultimately ensure that each process of a complete sequence is measured, analyzed and improved to reduce and eliminate variability in automated as well as human related operations.
Training Based on Your Needs
Cadre Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma training is designed to suit any of your needs. Training overviews can be provided for one-day seminars in order to introduce key company personnel to the idea of optimized manufacturing based on Lean and Six Sigma principles. Companywide training regiments lasting one month or longer can also be established and supervised by Cadre team members.
Follow up and quarterly Cadre-led training sessions are available to ensure the proper implementation of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodology. Clients may opt for an additional site survey analysis performed by Cadre in order to further improve the implementation of Lean and Six Sigma concepts learned in training.
All Cadre training systems utilize a variety of training manuals, standard documents and quick reference tools to assist in establishing a company organization that actively thinks with Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma concepts in mind. The reference tools, documents and manuals can be used to help analyze your processes, troubleshoot defects and implement future projects for a more efficient overall business.
A whole host of tools can be utilized for all key components of Lean and Six Sigma based manufacturing. Training can be provided to help personnel utilize separate measurement and analysis tools to generate useable data to be used on improvement software for model computations and simulations. Once the improved projects and processes have been implemented, trained personnel will be skilled in using balanced scorecard software, risk and control management tools and performance dashboard software to track real time data.
