Purpose of the Training
Variability is present in every moment of life, as well as in every process that comes to life within companies. The important thing is to take processes under control while minimizing variability; to reduce or even eliminate defects while trying to increase outputs. Six Sigma, which is a powerful methodology on the aforementioned issues, provides companies with serious advantages in today’s competitive conditions. This approach, which starts with a very good understanding of customer requirements, includes the concept of qualified output and its measurability; the disciplined use of statistical analysis in determining the input factors affecting the outputs and the severity of their impact with the data taken from the field. The Six Sigma Approach, which focuses on the management and development of business processes in the light of these analyzes, provides serious gains to companies with its unique development model. With its techniques and disciplines that aim to look at company processes from a customer perspective, Six Sigma aims to put process and operation excellence at the center of the company in the long term.

Sample applications are included in our training. Because strategy deployment will enable you to respond quickly to opportunities and threats by focusing and aligning your activities.

Target Audience
Production Department Managers and Employees, Engineers, Operators, Maintenance Personnel

Purpose of the Training
In the past, only the quantities produced and sold were important for organizations. Due to the ruthless competitive market, the impact of production at any cost and the discounts we made by saying “let’s sell as long as we can” were not measured in the short and long term. In the same period, even if the machinery and equipment we were using for production failed, the customer had to wait for the production result because there was no other alternative. It is not possible in today’s conditions to leave things alone while managing organizations. Nowadays, every malfunction appears as an additional cost and the risk of losing customers and eliminates competitiveness. It is necessary to create the opportunity for organizations to review their Maintenance Management approaches by evaluating the work to be done for the purpose of failure-free. In this training content; Maintenance Management System described within the framework of TPM management model will be shared together.

Purpose of the Training
Activities that do not create added value cause increased costs in factories, adversely affect quality, delay delivery, increase errors, increase the risk of work accidents, and negatively affect employee morale. It is very important to identify activities and losses that are not mandatory and that we can eliminate, and to eliminate them systematically. Increased efficiency will also increase our competitiveness. While lean basically aims to increase the flow rate, another focus is on narrowing the gap between the actual productivity values and potential productivity values of inputs in production and service systems. Lean production management training, which includes principles and metrics focused on generating more revenue using fewer resources, also examines the tricks of running a company with less working capital.

Duration of Training
2 Days / 16 Hours

Education Content
Lean Production; on the one hand, it focuses on increasing flexibility while making better quality products cheaper and faster. This concept, which we call Operational Excellence, will emphasize the development and change of production systems, the birth and basic principles of lean production. This training module will give an idea on how to apply these principles to increase the efficiency of Production and Service Processes, and the necessary perspective to become a Waste Hunter will be transferred to the participants in training videos and practical case studies. The Lean Production Techniques (Kaizen – 5 S – SMED – Jidoka – JIT – Kanban – Poka Yoke -TPM – Visual Management – Value Stream Mapping) required to establish this system will also be briefly explained.

Target Audience
Senior and mid-level managers, engineers, production workers, technical staff.

Purpose of the Training
With the development of marketing and logistics processes with the help of technology, serving wider customer masses instead of regional markets and keeping the product range wide has become an indispensable part of competition for most manufacturing companies. Within this concept, which we will call flexibility in production, the first condition of not compromising performance parameters such as quality, efficiency, speed and cost even in low demand and high product changes is to minimize the periods that we can call product-part transition periods, that is, mold or product change times in lines and machines. By emphasizing the SMED steps in detail with sample cases in the training, it is planned that the company employees will reveal the activities that will create serious gains in the production area. How to perform product transformation (Set-Up) activities faster and more effectively is covered in this training.

Duration of Training
1 Day / 8 Hours

Education Content
SMED is one of the cornerstones of lean manufacturing techniques. In this training, production managers, engineers, technical staff and operators will be taught how to identify, analyze, reduce or, if possible, eliminate the basic process elements that do not create added value and are distanced from the customer in the process; mired in machine and system constraints, and the discipline and work required to standardize them will be emphasized. In addition to increasing the equipment utilization rate, all direct and indirect gains of SMED will be tried to be adopted by analyzing the sample applications with the improvement teams to be formed from the participants. In addition to sample videos and visuals, a sample project will be analyzed on a software. In the last part of the project, the application areas in the company and what needs to be done will be discussed.

Target Audience
Senior and mid-level production managers, engineers, technical staff and operators.

Purpose of the Training
Companies that will be successful in the future will not be successful by competing with their competitors in the same field, but by creating/exploring uncompetitive market areas for themselves. This is called “Blue Ocean Strategy”. In the creation of Blue Oceans, it is important to identify the right strategic moves rather than the right company or the right sector.

Purpose of the Training
Traditional quality approaches argue that quality defects are inevitable, but the important thing is to catch them before they leave the factory and go to the customer. With the help of end-product quality control, sampling-based process control and IPC tools, defects can be detected before they reach the customer and improvement efforts can be made. The new quality approach focuses on the idea that it is impossible to completely eliminate defects in process inputs in operations, but it is possible to eliminate defects caused by accident or carelessness. The key point, however, is that defects and misbehavior can be prevented from becoming errors by devices and devices that provide feedback and action immediately after the defect. PokaYoke tools are systems, devices and applications that prevent people from acting carelessly and imperfectly, or that enable them to recognize defects before they occur. The aim of the training is to introduce the concept of POKA YOKE, which is one of the important elements of Lean Production Systems and “Zero Defect” approach, to the participants and to convey it with current life and factory applications. In the training, the participants will be able to realize and experience the Poka Yoke works necessary to make a system error-free with a case study.

Education Content
Hoshin Kanri has different meanings, such as “shiny metal” and “compass”. Our preference is “the ship sailing in the right direction in the storm”. Today, Hoshin Kanri is successfully applied in many industries and companies, guiding all employees towards the right strategies. With strategy deployment, we don’t tell people what to do, we ask questions. We don’t order, we involve. Most importantly, we make them understand. If we don’t know where we are going, we will never get there. “True North” emphasizes the business needs to be achieved and exerts a magnetic pull. Hoshin Kanri is a planning process developed in Japan, based on the US techniques of Management by Objectives and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) improvement cycle. Employees of the organization implementing Hoshin Kanri know what to do and track the achievement of goals. These days, manufacturers cannot afford to make mistakes. The ship is in deep water and the storm is not letting up. Hoshin Kanri empowers our organization by keeping team members united, focused and engaged.

Target Audience
Senior management, production, engineering, procurement, planning and quality managers, employees, management trainees and subject matter experts.
