e-LEAN Webinars

Session 1

The e-LEAN™ Enterprise

We will define the e-LEAN™ "Enterprise" consisting of both traditional manufacturing and electronic workflows along with a brief history of the evolution of lean principles. We will show how to breakdown and improve processes by "Mapping", "Measuring", "Organizing", and "Overhauling". Attendees will receive an introduction into lean tools such as "Value Stream Mapping (VSM)", "Standardized Work", applying the 7S principles, and conducting internal Kaizen events. The program will conclude by starting a review of a reality based case study that shows how to apply e-LEAN™ tools to achieve significant improvement in the graphic solutions provider's digital workflow.

Discussion include:
  • What is the e-LEAN™ Enterprise?
  • Ideals of Lean
  • Tools of Lean
  • Sample Value Stream Map
  • Kaizen Events
  • Introduction to Knoture Graphics Case Study

Session 2

Applying e-LEAN™ to your operation

Having completed session one that provided an introductory understanding of e-LEAN™ principles, we will now delve deeper into the Knoture Graphics case study as a framework for understanding how to apply e-LEAN™ into your own operation. Our e-LEAN™ case study is based upon actual facts from real world graphic solutions providers and printers experiences to show how to map both your digital and physical workflows. We will then isolate the wasted efforts in both the digital and traditional manufacturing processes. As we learn how to organize data analysis, we will begin determining the key areas for waste reduction to achieve a complete e-LEAN™ enterprise.

Discussion include:

  • Knoture Graphics - details of wasted and inefficient workflow
  • Mapping the digital workflow
  • Mapping the physical workflow
  • Understanding what is really happening at Knoture Graphics
  • Defining the future of an e-LEAN™ Enterprise.

Session 3

Advanced e-LEAN™ Solutions For Maximum Future Benefits

Having completed our previous two webinar programs, we will now review the advanced implementation techniques to focus on as the Knoture Company strives for efficient and automated workflows systems in their new e-LEAN™ Enterprise. We will see how the Knoture e-LEAN™ Team identifies more complicated waste areas as they define the solutions needed for the more complicated workflows. After all this work, we will see and measure the huge benefits achieved by applying the e-LEAN™ principles with definitive and measurable gains from Knoture's Lean improvement efforts.

Discussion include:

  • Getting to the Future State
  • How we want Knoture Graphics to work
  • What they worked on immediately - the low hanging fruit
  • What they accomplished in only eight weeks
  • Defining the measurable results
