Continuous Improvement Workshops

groups)
DAK Consulting provides CI audit support, reinforces behavioural
change and systematically guides the development of internal CI leadership and frontline
CI capability. In addition to improving today’s operations, DAK help organisations
to continuously improve new product and capital project delivery processes. This
provides a vehicle to engage the whole organisation and/or value chain in common
“end to end” improvement agenda.
Oneflow will help you to create a culture with engaged employees
and develop capabilities to deliver improvement activity through lean thinking and
the associated tools. The results will be: increased productivity; reduced scrap
rates; improved space utilisation; improved on-time delivery; reduced lead times;
and measurable bottom line improvements.
Sora will provide a deeper understanding of how global automotive
best practice techniques can be tailored and strategically applied to organisations
wishing to improve productivity. This workshop will aim to provide a clear and simple
understanding about how to align CI strategies and will provide a clear summary
of some of the most commonly discussed maintenance strategies such as Total Productive
Maintenance (TPM) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and how to best apply
them to your organisation.
