Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VAVE)

October 19-20, 2021 (8:30 AM-12:00 NN Daily for 2 sessions via Zoom)

Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) has always been associated with product design. Little does everyone know that VA/VE can be a potent technique for process improvement as well as companies search for ways and means to reduce product cost in the process, VA/VE might just be the thing they are looking for.

The value of product or process is the lowest cost of providing a reliable performance of a function in particular and service in general. In real life, our products and processes are laden with lots of things and features that don’t add value but costs to the detriment of customers and end users. This seminar will clarify the issue of value and impart the techniques for identifying what is considered to be value and what is waste from the point of view of the customer. Moreover, it will teach the techniques of creating more value (in the process) for the customer and the systematic elimination of process wastes. The seminar will deal mostly on process VA/VE, although product VA/VE will be discussed just the same.

Objectives:At the end of the webinar, the participant would have acquired the following:

1. Review of the fundamental concept of value in products and processes.
2. Techniques to identify and analyze process wastes and non-value adding features in process and products.
3. Techniques for eliminating non-value adding activities in processes.

Agenda:

Poka-Yoke (PYK)

Zero-Defect Operations by Mistake-Proofing the Process

November 16-17, 2021 (8:30 AM-12:00 NN Daily)

This workshop will examine the nature and types of human errors involving human-machine interfaces and provide the approaches to eliminate or avoid them through system improvement. The facilitator will employ actual cases from personal experience and everyday examples to add to the effectiveness of the learning session. The power of this workshop is that, participants have testified how ideas and solutions came up even while the seminar was still going one.

Poka-yoke is Japanese for mistake proofing. It was first proposed in 1961 by Shigeo Shingo and developed by him as an integral part of the Toyota Production System. It is indispensable to achieving zero defects and enabling Just-in-Time production operations and Six Sigma initiatives.

Objectives: the end of this webinar, the participants will be able to:

1. Understand the basic principles and concepts behind poka-yoke
2. Apply these principles and concepts to the development of a poka-yoke solution to an actual operating problem.

Agenda:

Who should attend: Recommended for plant managers, operations managers, business owners, process engineers, product design and development specialists, industrial engineers, and other personnel directly involved in the design, production, and distribution of products or in service design and operations.

WEBINAR FEE: P6,384/ 125 USD (Inclusive of VAT) (digital pdf copy of the course manuals/workshop & certificate).

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

October 12-15, 2021 (8:30 AM-12:00 NN Daily for 4 sessions via Zoom)

Variations are common in nature and in industries. Customers abhor too much variability, in fact, the ability of a provider to predictably deliver uniform products and services is an indication of good quality. However, customers have accepted variations to be a fact of life so tolerances have been put in place. Processes can be controlled so that the resulting product or service doesn’t violate the customers’ tolerable measures. Statistical process control is an initiative to establish measure, monitor and control process performance (variability included) through the application of statistics. It attempts to detect abnormalities early enough in order to eliminate assignable causes that result in product defects.

Completion of course earns the participant 20 points credit for Kaizen-6 Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt Certification.

Objectives: By the end of the webinar, a successful participant will be able to:

1. Explain the basic concepts & principles of statistics, probability, variation, measurements & control, such these can relate to their work situations;
2. Elucidate on the basic principles behind statistical process control and process capability studies;
3. Interpret quality reports and apply statistical tools and techniques in solving quality and design issues; and
4. Develop statistical tools applicable to his/her company.

Agenda:

Who should attend: Prospective Kaizen-Sigma Green and Black Belts, Managers, Supervisors, Foremen, & Staff in Production; QA/QC; Industrial Engineering, R & D, Kaizen Teams, Maintenance & Engineering, & Training Departments

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

(July 18-21, 2023 | 8:30 AM-12:00 NN Daily for 4 sessions via Zoom)

Every company is in business to delight its customers through timely delivery of quality products and services at minimal prices. Quality, delivery and cost suffer when machines breakdown suddenly without warning or when they do not run properly. This workshop is a two-day seminar that teaches the system of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) from the vantage of the Kaizen or continuous process improvement strategy as well as the Section 8.5.1.2 of IATF 16949:2016. It provides an introductory treatment for companies who would embark on TPM program and for individuals who are about to become a part of an existing TPM system. The workshop will impart the concepts and methods of conducting an in-plant TPM style shop floor improvement. TPM is a Japanese approach of reducing product cost by improving the overall equipment effectiveness through elimination of muda or non-value adding activities in operations and in the preventive maintenance of machines and equipment. The approach employs the concept of Total System Focus involving everyone particularly the production and maintenance people in the process of muda elimination.

Objectives: By the end of the webinar, the following would have been accomplished:

1. Mental conversion to the Kaizen philosophy that inspires people to change;
2. Learned the basic concepts, tools and techniques of TPM, and the system for continuous improvement of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE); and
3. Learned the method for improving and establishing standards for autonomous, reliability, breakdown and planned maintenance.
