Hone Your Skills: Eliminating Waste to Improve Productivity and Safety

When:  Jan 20, 2021 from 11:30 to 12:30 (ET)

Start 2021 with a focus on increased productivity through the elimination of waste in your processes – with the bonus of improved workforce safety.

Today’s successful manufacturers eliminate wasteful, non-value-added production and administrative functions, with continuous improvement practices boosting productivity. One element of this process is Lean safety, a systematic approach to identifying and controlling the waste in processes/activities which could cause accidents or illnesses

Lean safety is focused around 8 wastes, typically thought of in terms of production and quality processes:

  • Defects
  • Overproduction
  • Waiting
  • Non-Utilized Talent
  • Transportation
  • Inventory
  • Motion
  • Extra Processing

Join IMEC to explore how addressing the 8 Wastes of Lean can improve safety without sacrificing efficiency or effectiveness.
