3P hands-on training and moonshine

Highlights

This hands-on workshop will explore the standard work of the Production Preparation Process (3P).

Overview

3P is a method that focuses on eliminating waste through product and process design. In this workshop, we’ll explore 3P standard work starting with fishbone, yamazumi, process at a glance, and small- and full-scale simulations. You’ll learn from the Toyota, GE, and Ingersoll Rand house of lean models, which show the eight wastes of lean and build the house of lean simultaneously. Then using rudimentary materials like cardboard and foam, you’ll learn with your own parts and processes in scale and take part in manufacturing and service simulations with a large-scale compressor model.
