If you're looking to create a leaner, more productive operation, Granite Bay has an affordable solution. QuickLeanTM is designed for leaders in small- to medium-size manufacturing plants (less than 300 employees) that want to learn and apply Lean principles without the expense of a long-term consulting engagement. Our 3-day QuickLeanTM workshop will help your plant get started on the Lean journey or revitalize your current approach.

Classroom Training
The morning sessions take place in a classroom setting where we discuss Lean concepts, tools and how to implement them. We analyze key processes within your plant according to Lean principles and generate improvement ideas.

Plant Floor Application
Then the afternoon sessions move out onto the plant floor. Here, we help the team identify sources of manufacturing waste and inefficiencies, discuss which Lean tools and strategies are needed and start to implement improvements in a critical area of the plant.

Lean Training topics will depend on your specific situation and needs, but can include one or more of the following:

  • Manufacturing Lead Time Reduction
  • Improving Equipment/Process Reliability
  • Quick Changeover: The NASCAR approach
  • Applying Lean Quality Tools
  • Continuous Improvement for the Entire Plant
  • Successfully Implementing Kanban/Pull Mfg.
  • Value Stream (Process) Mapping
  • Standard Work/SOP
  • Customizing 5S for Your Plant
  • Visual Management Systems
  • Mfg. Cells, Balancing, Leveling and Takt Time
  • Lean for the Job Shop
  • Lean for Process Industries
