Description
The concepts of “World Class Manufacturing” & “Lean” are very critical to build successful organizations which are driven by high efficiency in operations & ability to sustain and grow in difficult business times. These concepts are particularly very useful in the present times, due to stiff competition in various business sectors & ever demanding needs of the customer. These concepts are universal in applicability and can be easily deployed in both manufacturing as well as various other types of operations.In the first section on “World Class Manufacturing”, we aim to give learners a good insight on the concepts of WCM, Historical perspective, philosophy of WCM & how the WCM tools can be applied in organizations. It is covered in 4 Lectures. These Lectures are a bit longer than the typical Udemy length & run from about 10 minutes to about 25 minutes in duration. The Lectures will certainly impart you with a very good grasp of these topics & ability to deploy these tools in any organization.Section-1 (World class Manufacturing)(Lecture-1, Lecture-2, Lecture-3, Lecture-4)Lecture-1:Meaning of WCM (World Class Manufacturing)Characteristics of WCM OrganizationFrame Work for WCM based on TQM PhilosophyTQM & WCMLecture-2:PDCA & WCM Infinity LoopApproach to WCM PhilosophyTemple of WCM (Pillars)Explanation of “Technical” & “Management” PillarsLecture-3:Implementation of WCM & GuidelinesKPI’s ( Key Performance Indicators)KAI’s (Key Activity Indicators)WCM Implementation (Main Tools)MUDA, MURA & MURILecture-4:1. Understanding the critical concept of OEE (Overall equipment effectiveness).

It is covered in 3 Lectures.Section-2 (Lean )(Lecture-4, Lecture-5, Lecture-6)Lecture-4:Introduction to Lean & Lean (Definition)Macro-Level Benefits of Lean in Any enterpriseLean Practices & the “Toyota Way”The “7 Wastes”Lecture-5:What is “Value” (Value Add & Non Value Add Activities)VSM (Value Stream Mapping)Lead Time & Process TimeA Basic Approach to LeanLecture-6:A few Basic “Lean-Tools” for improvement, (Some-Insights)5 SPush versus Pull SystemsSMED Kaizen5 Why AnalysisThese Lectures run from about 13 minutes to 30 minutes in duration & cover multiple topics which are very essential to gain a thorough understanding as a “Lean practitioner”.There are various multiple choice Q&A at the end of every Lecture to test your grasp of the topics and understanding of the Lecture. There are also a few thought provoking questions to make you think during the various phases of Lecture. All these Lectures have been prepared keeping in mind simplicity of delivery and for facilitating a good grasp of all topics covered in the course. With my diversified global experience of nearly 27+ years across various parts of the world and having worked with many different cultures, I always believe that a Trainer should step into the Learner’s shoe, while preparing the Learning material. This mind-set helps in ensuring high quality, strong retention and an enjoyable learning experience. I welcome you to this course and also request your valuable feedback after completion of the course as this will greatly help to improve the quality of new courses and aim for perfection.
