PREREQUISITES: Particiants must have completed NBDC/NMEP Principles of Lean Manufacturing. They must take Cellular Flow Manufacturing concurrently with Standardized Work.

    Total Productive Maintenance Kaizen

  • If you would like to host a Kaizen event such as this, please let us know. Company rates differ from individual rates.

  • This event is separate and in addition to the Lean Certificate Series.

    For the certified lean practitioner, this workshop will provide you with valuable experience in Kaizen facilitation, team skills, project scopes, and impelmentation. Some implementers have never participated in a Kaizen before they try to lead one. This workshop will provide the opportunity to experience a hands-on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Kaizen event at Vishay Dale.
