Teaching Lean Manufacturing: Tips and Techniques
Web Seminar

This webinar presents teaching tips and techniques for presenting a systems approach to lean production systems. This seminar utilizes a four dimensional instruction strategies model for developing knowledge and skill for lean production systems designs. The four dimensions are as follows: first, create structure for learning (a physical structure and an organization structure); second, create collaborative teams at the beginning of any teaching session and maintain teamwork throughout teaching events; third, utilize tried and true classroom instruction strategies, i.e., short lecture units that are followed by problem-solving exercises, using Dr. Walter A. Shewhart’s Learning Cycle, which is better known as Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, to maximize learning; and fourth, provide support for the individual team member’s needs - his/her emotional and spiritual needs as a normal part of learning and work.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this webinar, the attendee will be able to:
1. Discuss instruction strategies for maximizing lean systems learning in a classroom setting;
2. Design a classroom structure that facilitates learning;
3. Create collaborative teams;
4. Utilize basic psychology principles to support individual student needs;
5. Design a curriculum utilizing a four dimensional leadership model

Participants will want to have an understanding of lean manufacturing principles and practices to best understand the presentation material.
