Event | Theme day LEAN Manufacturing

  • SEW Event | Theme day LEAN Manufacturing

It is said that companies that are lean and mean ensure their continuation. They are better adapted to changes and can quickly turn towards the ever changing demands of the market and customers.

From the beginning SEW-EURODRIVE focused on flexibility, both as to our products and to our processes. We developed our own internal lean process, called WIEPRO (Wissen Entwickeln und Prozesse Optimieren). With this internal lean process we managed to shorten our delivery time, to integrate urgent orders as normal orders, to reduce working space, to lower our stock, optimize our logistics and add value for our customers.

What we want to share

7 practical examples

By means of 7 practical examples we show our lean journey, the successes we achieved and the mistakes we made.

  • How we changed the production workplaces and found acceptance from employees for this change.
  • What is the function of these new workplaces and what is the effect.
  • Why we choose to work in one-piece-flow and what the effect is.
  • Which lean principles we selected for our WIEPRO process.
  • What does our material flow looks like and the choice between KanBan and E-KanBan.
  • What is the role of an ERP system in a lean process.
  • Why do we have such a low stock and what if something goes wrong.
  • And many more topics.

Participate?

Lean can only succeed, if it is understood and accepted by everybody in a company. Therefore this workshop is intended for everybody who is interested in lean.

We are not a consulting firm that tells you how it can work out for you. We can only tell and show you how and why it works for us by using common sense and by only selecting and adapting the tools and methods from lean that add value for us and our customers.
