 All The Details of Kanban Scheduling System Design

Step-by-Step Procedures
Kanban Simulation Game
Real Class Project from Your Factory

A Kanban scheduling system is among the most simple, effective and inexpensive means for production and inventory control. The concept is proven. From Nagoya to Wichita Falls; from Windsor to Geelong; from micro-electronics to heavy steel– Kanban systems reduce inventory, eliminate stockouts, displace massive computers and slash overhead. They improve both service and quality. Our online seminars use individual learning, team learning, and a Virtual Classroom for a total learning experience. This is NOT a canned Power Point show! Teams of 3-5 people from your company work together on real project assignment. Between sessions, they complete assignments and exercises. New ideas have time to gestate. This seminar is real life. It demonstrates how to do it. Your people will learn principles, techniques, and a structured design process. In it, Learning Teams design a system for their own factory, something that no public seminar can do.
