Six Sigma Systems,
Inc. provides a comprehensive training program for inventory management
professionals. The goal
of this training is to teach inventory management professionals the
analytical derivation of the most profitable inventory strategies.
These methods have lead to a 30%+ reduction in inventory without
negative service level impact for previous clients.
A number of analytical techniques will be covered during the
workshop. Technical aspects
of each model, as well as the practical
appropriateness
for each model, will be discussed.
 Each presented model
is accompanied by hands-on exercises to ensure participants gain experience
and confidence to apply the methods.
The training can be
split into two subsequent two-day sessions.
Session 1 covers the following areas:
-
Supply chain fundamentals.
-
Hands-on supply
chain simulation.
-
Supply chain physics.
-
Appropriate action
to variation in supply chains.
-
Demand assessment.
Session 2 builds
on the foundation laid in session 1 and covers the following topics:
Additional
topics can be presented in a third session based on customer request
and need. Sample topics are:
-
MRP basics.
-
Pull System basics.
-
Least Squares Regression.
-
Metrics determination.
-
Determination of
appropriate management model given DRP system.

The goal of this two-day
workshop is to familiarize participants with the technical issues
associated with different production systems.
We will demonstrate, based on a factual and technical evaluation,
why pull systems are superior to push systems.
Through the use of hands-on demonstrations and simulations
you will experience the issues associated with each fundamental production
system. In addition we
will demonstrate the various implementation options for pull
systems and outline which methodology is most appropriate in which situation. Upon request the workshop can be expanded to include such topics
as production system network design for
technically complex applications like remanufacturing.
The topics covered
in this workshop are:
-
Production system simulation.
-
Production system
physics.
-
Definition of push
systems.
-
Technical implications
of push systems on Quality, Delivery and Cost.
-
Definition of pull
systems.
-
Technical implications
of pull systems on Quality, Delivery and Cost.
-
MRP mechanics and practical implications.
-
Pull system mechanics and practical implications.
-
CONWIP.
-
Kanban.
-
Decision logic for appropriate choice of pull system.

Participants
of this five-day workshop will be exposed to production system fundamentals
as well as the most commonly found
lean manufacturing tools.
During this course participants will learn how to eliminate waste
in their processes. In
addition the course we will demonstrate the superiority of
pull systems
and show different implementation options.
All concepts and tools will be
applied during hands-on exercises.
In addition participants will lean a traditional manufacturing
process by applying the methods and tools taught during the workshop.
Examples
of the topics covered are:
-
5S.
-
Visual workplace
techniques.
-
Spaghetti Charts.
-
Cell Layout.
-
Takt time concepts.
-
Capacity analysis.
-
Video process analysis.
-
Setup reduction.
-
Maintenance.
-
Mistake Proofing
/ Poke Yoke.
-
Inventory management
basics.
-
Production systems
basics (Push, Pull (CONWIP, Kanban etc.)).
-
Organizational implications
of lean.

Participants
of the Six Sigma Basics Workshop will learn the most fundamental Six
Sigma tools over the course of one week.
As a result they will be able to drive business results by applying
these tools in projects as well as their daily work.
The topics covered
in this workshop are:
-
Philosophy of Six
Sigma.
-
Critical thinking
and project management.
-
Production system
basics.
-
Process Mapping.
-
Failure Modes and
Effects Analysis.
-
Statistical Process
Control for process investigation and monitoring.
-
Measurement system
assessment.
Throughout the training
we emphasize practical tool use and will demonstrate the use of many
tools through hands-on exercises.
When contracted on
site, this training can be combined with our FASTSTART initiative.
