Mixed model assembly

Toyota factories have a special secret - the way it mixes the production line. Toyota calls it the Heijunka Sequence Plan. It mixes tens of thousands of vehicle variations down the same assembly line and how this is done has never been well understood…until now! Attendees will gain a thorough understanding of Toyota's Heijunka Sequencing methodology. Learn to use an algorithm developed to mimic the Toyota Production System and discover a method to understand how Toyota embraces variation to create flow.

Participants will:

• Understand mixed model production
• Experience building a production line using lean manufacturing principles
• Understand calculations you can immediately take back to their factory

The workshop is 75% interactive with 25% background and explanation. It starts out immediately with an interactive exercise.
