The BEC is offering a one-day session in Process Cells. This session compares traditional processing layouts with cells and defines how cells accelerate your organization’s waste reduction goals. Participants will get exposure to the tools, thought processes and support systems required to design and implement one-piece flow (including calculating takt time and standardizing work practices). Product selection and grouping for your first work cell is also discussed. Finally, cell layout techniques are included to ensure layout viability in the proposed cell site.

Pre-requisite: Overview of Lean must be taken prior to attending Process Cells.

Process Cells content includes:

What a cell is
Benefits of cells
Applying takt time and standardized work in the cell
Processing cell prerequisites
Implementing cells

Upon completion participants will be able to:

Determine product families that qualify for Process Cell layout
Determine production capacity by process
Analyze cell loading based on customer requirements
Design an effective cell
Calculate takt time and balance work based on customer requirements
Complete a Standard Work Sequence Sheet
