- Category: Ratchet Up Performance
- Dates: 2 day course
- Location: In company
- Cost: £3000 up to 10 Delegates
In Manufacturing and Process plants, the most common causes of lost performance and wasted effort are front line skill and knowledge gaps.
Although this is often seen as a problem for trainers to deal with, the causes of the problem include the way in which tasks are defined, how standards are set and the how skill levels are categorised.
Effective skill development involves feedback from trainers and collaboration with those involved in setting standards and defining skill levels to enhance the pace of learning and compliance.
The course leads delegates through training and skill development best practices to build internal capabilities to meet current and future business needs.

Enhancing Maintenance Value
Lean Manufacturing can only deliver high levels of added value when equipment, processes and tooling are in peak condition. To do that Lean Maintenance provides the toolbox to stabilise and extend component life so that operational assets can produce higher levels of added value for longer. That starts with the evolution of maintenance workflows to systematically reduce waste and non value adding activities, releasing time to focus on enhancing process effectiveness, resilience and flexibility. That includes adapting work routines to take advantage of advances in technology and digitisation.
This 3-day workshop leads delegates through the theory and practices of Lean Maintenance. In addition to an explanation of how Lean theory applies to Maintenance routines, delegates work in teams to apply Lean Maintenance principles to up to 3 assets to create examples of:
- Lean Asset Care covering preventive maintenance, inspection and servicing routines,
- Lean Execution covering standardisation, systemised workflows and engagement,
- Lean Systems covering stores, performance management and CMMS.
Deliverables include the development of a bespoke Lean Maintenance route map to release maintenance resource and improve asset effectiveness.
Maintenance leadership of the above processes within a Lean, TPM or Six Sigma programme has been shown to increase annualised gains by as much as 50%.
