Cellular Manufacturing
This one day training course uses practical ‘interactive’ business games to demonstrate the benefits a manufacturing organisation can achieve in efficiency, product quality, inventory and space utilisation by the adoption of cellular manufacturing techniques.
This is a fun, action packed course where delegates get the opportunity to assemble ‘real’ products in the business games in order to re-enforce the theory taught as part of the course.
This Cellular Manufacturing training course is ideally suited to production supervisors/managers, production and process engineers and other parties interested in maximising the efficiency of their manufacturing operation.
