Lean Manufacturing Consultancy Case Study - Carlsberg

Package of Training

 



Carlsberg invited the Lean Group to provide training for their new Small Pack Bottling Team at their brewery in Leeds.

This foundation programme of training consisted of:

Team Building - self contained teams.
5S - workplace organisation
SMED - single minute exchange of die

The training package was designed to improve the new teams ability to operate as a self-managed unit and hence substantially improve their collective operating performance.

  5s
team building   Thirty Staff undertook the initial programme, which was considered by both the teams and their management as an unqualified success.

The team building phase resulted in the participants understanding the fundamental principles that separate unstructured groups of people from those that are effective teams.
After team building the teams then focused on improving their workplace by utilizing the principles of 5S (workplace organisation).

This discipline not only made their workplace a tidier, safer and more efficient environment in which to work, it also formed the foundation for achieving fast exchange of die (SMED) where initial reductions in changeover time of about 75% were achieved.

“This programme was very professionally ran and very well received, there were a number of non-believers in the original selection who have all been converted to the “Lean Group Way”

The programme opened all the participants minds to what can be achieved through understanding and working as a Team, and by applying Lean Tools and Techniques, it has proved an excellent foundation programme for the continuing development of Lean Manufacturing throughout the business.

Continuous Improvement Champions have now been selected and ongoing Lean Action Plans form part of the Small Pack Teams Personal Development Programme.

We plan to expand the programme in the near future and Team Working and Lean Manufacturing will provide two of the fundamental elements in achieving our overall Organisational objectives”
