By following the five phases of Lean Tooling outlined in the Lean Tooling book and this program, teams of people are able to eliminate the time that is wasted while people search for tooling. Starting with a way to measure management commitment, to collecting baseline data, to drawing an area map then creating new tooling standards, this program will show you what needs to happen to eliminate wasted tooling resources. An introduction to Lean Tooling examines how manufacturing companies are using lean tooling as an integral part of lean manufacturing to immediately cut costs, drastically reduce production lead time, and ensure quality. Lean Tooling will help you organize your tooling so you can find every tool you need in less than 30 seconds. It will help you get tooling ready faster so that set-up time is minimized. It will help you be able to rely on your tools for precision, so inspection time can be eliminated. The program will also show you ways of reducing administrative tooling costs by demonstrating KANBAN systems for keeping track of tooling inventory. This program is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lean Tooling in Action program which presents examples of Lean Tooling at 4 different companies.
