About the webinar:

Implementing Mixed Model Manufacturing does not have to be an all-or-nothing proposition… It can be done in stages to reduce disruptions and shutdowns. In this webinar, we’ll present a “Hybrid Kaizen” model to accomplish this.

The Mixed Model Strategy

We’ll be doing a (brief) introduction to the Mixed Model strategy, whether you do it in one leap, or through a series of stages.

Advanced Preparation

Like any Kaizen Event, this is really a key to success. We like to recommend, to set expectations, that for every Kaizen Event hour, plan to spend 3 hours in preparation.

Conducting the Event

We will break it down day by day, to describe how Mixed Model Manufacturing is rolled out over a 4-day period.

Sustaining Change

Follow-up is not enough to guarantee sustainability of your improvements. You need to be high enough on the Value Stream Maturity Scale…otherwise your efforts are at risk!
