I copied the 3(free) flyers from your web site and took them to a staff meeting last week. Our Asset CARE Staff liked them so much they took them away from me. One question - did I understand you correctly. I can make as many copies and distribute them throughout our company as I choose?
Steve Molnar, Maintenance Services
Manager, David Power Pty Ltd
We have been subscribing to your flyer (Articles) for probably 2.5 years now, will continue to do as i enjoy the content and so do our employee. I(read) your flyer(Articles) regularly and then distribute the articles to my employees at all levels.
Lean Manufacturing can be described a method to reduce waste of materials and make businesses more profitable. It is a cost effective method, applied for full utilization of raw materials with less waste and also known for creating a less time consuming process. Lean is a very popular term that involves a production method introduced by Toyota brand out of desire to emphasize the reduction of extra expenses in any organization and manufacturing companies. In nutshell, it is an important methodology that is applied by any company to make its resources highly efficient, to increase the production capacity and earn maximum profit.
- Printing these training newsletters for machine operators too, helps them better understand how the equipment and maintenance engineering works. Bring your Operators and facility up to Autonomous Maintenance Level 2! This training creates greater ownership of production process by operators.
This Reliability Engineering Training is very much needed for Lean manufacturing and maintenance as it helps learners to understand the equipment in manufacturing companies and also various factors that are required to be adopted in this process. The machine operator is the core aspect of lean manufacturing and plays major role in producing machinery products thus he or she should be well trained and familiar with all techniques to make production higher. Besides, machine operator are also concerned for equipment maintenance.
- You are encouraged to share the training newsletters and articles in this 4 CD set with all you operators, maintenance and engineering. So only one CD set per physical facility is required. Nowhere else can you find 30 weeks of maintenance and reliability training for all employees for less than $300. Training for everyone in the facility for only $10 per Week!
An important TPM step (by Kunio Shirose) common in Lean manufacturing programs, is to perform autonomous maintenance. Autonomous maintenance is obtained by education and training of equipment operators on their equipment and maintenance practices. While the first 7 steps of autonomous maintenance focus on general overview and planning, this Autonomous Maintenance Level 2 Training Program concentrates on more detailed equipment and maintenance training in plain words that even non-maintenance personnel can learn from.
- Great for cross training of maintenance and engineering personnel too! All employees understanding the equipment and the role of maintenance is the key to Autonomous Maintenance and world-class performance.
