The Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) will be hosting a workshop titled PDCA:  The Core of Sustained Improvement Efforts. The session will be led by our very own Sheila Cuyler!

The purpose of this hands-on workshop is to develop participants Lean thinking abilities and to build their skills in creating Lean processes throughout their organizations while facilitating continual learning and improvement.

This interactive workshop spends equal time in the classroom and learning through hands-on application exercises.  The exercises will teach attendee’s how to incorporate the concepts of PDCA and problem solving into daily practice to drive continuous improvement and learning in both manufacturing and administrative processes.  Throughout both days, attendee’s will participate in shop floor activities to refine and create visual controls to manage, monitor, and improve processes.  Additionally, attendee’s will participate in creating Leader Standard Work.  Participants will be provided with an electronic version of all workshop materials.

The workshop will be 1-1/2 days.
