The first day of the two days workshop addresses simple methods of measuring production efficiencies in a machine controlled and a labour controlled manufacturing operation. Assessing current levels provides the benchmark to establish the improvement levels required. Focus then shifts to addressing potential strategies for increasing the efficiencies in a controlled and methodical manner. Day two’s primary focus is on the potential application of the strategies to course participant’s own organisations. This is very much a hands on approach.

The course is designed for those wishing to discover real ways of increasing manufacturing performance by increasing production efficiencies. It is particularly applicable to those in a management position or in a position that can influence manufacturing strategy, however it will also suit any employee directly involved in the production process.
