Some of us feel that we have to hire a guru in order to apply the Theory of Constraints.Here are some practical things all of us can do to "chip away" at a constraint - and yield major improvements to your operation.

Why :

Many times your manufacturing operation seems very busy yet the throughput of the entire line is poor. We often confuse busy and efficient with productive. This webinar is based upon real-life examples and how simple techniques were used to improve overall productivity without the need to spend weeks performing complex modeling and analysis.

Areas Covered in the Session :

1.Identifying a constraint in a process by its symptoms.

2.How to "chip away" at the constraint. Some steps at the constraint can be done by upstream or downstream operations.

3.How to increase the overall throughput of your production line.

4.Why measuring operator efficiency at the bottleneck actually adds to the problem.

Who Will Benefit:

Managers, Supervisors, Directors, and Vice-Presidents in the areas of:

1.R&D

2.Manufacturing Engineering

3.Design Assurance

4.Quality Assurance

5.Operations

6.Document Control

About Speaker:

José Mora is a Principal Consultant and Project Manager specializing in Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Systems, and Lean Transformations. José is a recognized subject matter expert in process validation, lean manufacturing, lean controlled document systems, startup operations, process development and quality systems, having lectured internationally and presented webinars on these subjects.For over 30 years he has worked in the life sciences in positions ranging from Senior Engineer and Project Manager to Vice-President, specializing in manufacturing, process development, tooling, and quality systems. His medical device experience includes surgical instruments, PTA & PTCA dilatation and guiding catheters, plastic surgery implants and tissue expanders, urology implants and devices for the treatment of incontinence, delivery systems for brachytherapy, orthopaedic implants and instruments, and vascular surgery grafts and textiles.

Wherever he has worked, Jose has a track record of introducing world-class methodologies such as Kepner-Tregoe, Taguchi techniques, Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing, Five S (Visual Workplace), process validation to Global Harmonization Task Force standards, and similar approaches. He has implemented various good manufacturing practices like JIT, kanban systems, visual workplace and lean manufacturing practices. Jose has also published a white paper on the application of lean manufacturing methods to the creation and management of controlled documents and a template for strategic deployment.
