Dixon and Mr. Rick L. Smith providing Lean technical training at the Fabtech International /AWS Welding Show. Tuesday, November 13th – 9:30 to 11:30 AM Demand Pull in the Fabrication Job Shop Few practitioners understand how to adapt demand flow techniques to a low volume, high variety environment. Orders for the same or similar part numbers repeat infrequently and often not at all for most fabrication job shops. Other shops produce a mix of repetitive and non-repetitive work. This presentation will show how to use demand pull techniques in any job shop. Effective application of the principles learned will help accomplish the objectives of lean manufacturing: i.e., lead time reduction, faster inventory turnover, greater productivity and better visibility and control of quality.
Tuesday November 13th - 1:30 to 3:00 PM Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for the Fabrication
Job Shop The name of the game for the world class job shop is to learn to flow work with the minimum number of delays and associated wait time. Equipment downtime is a major contributor to disruptions in the flow of work. Fortunately, there are powerful tools and techniques for reducing downtime. This presentation will demonstrate the use of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles to eliminate losses due to equipment failure. An explanation of how to systematically engage the entire workforce in the maintenance process and an approach to coupling TPM with other world class/lean business practices will also be covered.
