Manufacturing Excellence

Course #

600

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed to give an overview of methods that are available to improve manufacturing processes. The student will acquire an understanding of the breakeven point in a manufacturing operation and be able to develop a graph to visually display the data. The student will apply a Process Flow Diagram to discover the bottleneck in a simulated manufacturing process. The student will be able to explain the concept of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The student will be able to identify the tools used in a Six Sigma program. foreman's and supervisors to obtain skills that are necessary to build a productive team.
