This Cost Saving Projects Practical course is designed for supervisors; managers and engineers. They are ultimately responsible and accountable for failure and deviation costs. They must investigate process errors including poor performance, low targets and other people issues. They need to identify; quantify; qualify and implement cost saving projects.
There are many project management courses ranging from university level NQF 4 – 7 and some more practical short courses. These courses lay a good foundation, but the delegate must then go and develop specific tools in order to do projects in his/her area of work. Continuous improvement projects are unique because they require a set of tools which is industry specific. There are excellent continuous improvement courses like Lean Manufacturing; Kaizen and Six Sigma available, but they take time and are very expensive. Our 5-day course is very unique in the sense that it is a soft copy template which contains lean and kaizen concepts into one Excel document. A laptop and basic knowledge of MS Office is the only requirement for this practical course. When training is “on siteâ€; a computer room is sufficient. There is no manual required; this course is 90% digital. Even the applicable theory Power Point Slides are provided to the delegate. A sample Power Point presentation template and an A3 report template is also provided to teach the delegate to package his/her cost saving project so that it can be presented to management for motivation. All tools are simplified and user friendly; but yet very powerful. The delegates require only basic MS Office knowledge (Power Point; WORD; Excel).
This course provides delegates with the following:
*If the delegate is uncertain of his/her project:
1. Maintenance kaizen; for example, decrease MTBF; MTTR; FR; OEE; FMEA.
2. TPM implementation in a specific area.
3. Layout and staff optimization.
4. Quality improvement. Eliminate scrap; rejects.
5. Production improvement. 12S.
6. HR improvement (motivation).
7. Civil construction. Small projects.
8. Education and training.
9. Kaizen blitz (event)
10. Six Sigma (must book specific for this one).
11. Logistics improvement.
12. Any other project that the delegate wants to do.
This Cost Saving Projects Practical course is designed for supervisors; managers and engineers. They are ultimately responsible and accountable for failure and deviation costs. They must investigate process errors including poor performance, low targets and other people issues. They need to identify; quantify; qualify and implement cost saving projects. These include, with some brief examples, but not limited to:
Because this course is 100% practical in its application; the above are only some examples.
It can be particularly valuable to those newer to the project field; recently appointed supervisors and managers that need to upgrade their ability to implement solutions using very basic soft copy tools.
