    PROJECT EARLY MANAGEMENT & DESIGN FOR QUALITY - how to prevent losses and ensure vertical starts

    WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

    This theoretical / practical workshop explains the basic concepts and benefits of the early management methodology applied to various projects, such as slight changes in plant configuration, equipment improvement, manufacturing lines expansion, new products, new processes, new plants, processes or manufacturing technologies.

    The methodology is based on the front-loading concept, where an early identification of potential risks and losses allows the development of design review checklists (including specific validations checklists), enabling the development of effective action plans. This will be achieved through workshops and a rigorous gate control process carry out by multifunctional teams. The risks and losses could be related to any function but the focus of this workshop is design for Quality.

    In addition, the methodology optimizes new products margins and the capital investment by optimizing the design and life cycle cost of the Project.

    The relationship of identifying and eliminating losses during the design phase, rather than during the start-up phase of a project, can be from $ 1 to $ 10,000, so proper application of the methodology depending on the size of the project can generate economic benefits of hundreds of thousands of dollars, in addition to enabling compliance with Quality corporate and legal standards.

     

    WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

     

    1. Understand the principles and objectives of the philosophy of early product and early equipment within the context of the development of new products. At the end of the workshop a preliminary risk analysis is generated which will serve as a basis for the application of the methodology during the actual execution of the project.

    2. Develop practical skills for the proper use of early management tools such as, design for easy manufacturing, maintenance prevention information, life cycle cost, functional design elements, quality design review checklists, factory acceptance and installation, operation, production and manufacturing validations.

    3. To promote teamwork among the different functional areas involved in the development and execution of the projects, to aim at vertical start-ups, minimizing quality losses and maximizing the return on investment while enhancing the products margin.

    4. Initiate the process of identification and use of maintenance prevention information and the development of own design review checklists, to build an effective continuous improvement process for projects execution.

    5. Introduce the concept of building quality from the design phases of the project, supported by specific responsibilities matrices.

    WASTE REDUCTION

    WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

    This workshop is a practical improvement activity, to be carried out by a multifunctional team, which has been designed to evaluate 10 critical elements within the process of identification, quantification and reduction of waste, generated in processes and / or manufacturing lines. The methodology used in the workshop is based on an evaluation of the current waste management process, which allows to easily identify the gaps against the benchmarking on which the model development was based. The short-term benefit to the customer will be a reduction in manufacturing cost, which can translate into thousands of dollars, allowing immediate replication at any other area that generates significant waste at the customer's premises.

     

    WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

     

    1. Evaluate and optimize the waste management process focused on the area with greater losses in terms of money, not volume.

    2. Develop practical skills in the use of improvement tools, such as loss tree, loss mapping, basic statistical control, compatibility and reprocessing matrices, absolute zero concept, and optimization of the production plan.

    3. Elaboration of the radar chart of the improvement process, which allows an immediate visualization of the current state of the program and an easy definition and visualization of the objectives in the short term.

    4. Develop a SWOT analysis, as a support tool for the strategic planning of the waste reduction plan.

    5. Development of a specific improvement plan, derived from the practical use of the model.

    3. Follow-up of the execution of the action plan and the achievement of the objectives defined during the workshop.
