• Lean Implementation and Execution

You have probably heard the theories and principles involved with Lean – but how do you actually make them work?  Our experienced facilitator will cover the Lean Tools, but more importantly, he will show you how you can implement them successfully over the long term.

This workshop breaks down the tools involved in a successful Lean transformation.  Hands-on exercises combined with a number of real world illustrations, case studies, and analogies vividly illustrate both the application, potential benefits, and practical usefulness.  Throughout the workshop, the emphasis will be on a practical, team-oriented approach to implementing Lean with a goal of improved productivity and long term financial success.  The public cost is normally, $1750, but only $995 through FDTC, and $865 for ASQ Members.  Contact us here or the Continuing Education Department at FDTC to enroll or for more details.

• Design for Lean Six Sigma (DFLSS) with Minitab

We offer a 4 1/2 day version without Minitab and a two-week version with Minitab.  Both will provide a solid, hands-on foundation in Design for Lean Six Sigma.  Given the widespread use and knowledge of the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology, we teach the complimentary DMADV (Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Verify) method of Design for Lean Six Sigma.  In the Analyze and Design steps, we have incorporated key aspects of the similarly popular ID²OV (Innovate-Develop-Design-Optimize-Verify) method. 

Both workshops cover TRIZ Innovative Design, the Pugh Matrix, Taguchi Robust Design, and Design for Manufacturing/Assembly.  Through FDTC/SiMT, the cost of the one week workshop is $1750 and $2950 for the two week workshop.  Both include a one year membership to ASQ.  Current ASQ members can attend for $1500 and $2600 respectively.  Contact us here for details and the latest schedule.

• Continuous Improvement in Healthcare and Education

We have a wide range of hands-on Continuous Improvement Workshops dealing with Healthcare and Education.  From a half day introduction, to a one day session for small medical practices and a full week implementation workshop, we can meet your needs.  To meet the desires of those involved in and leading Continuous Improvement on a daily basis, we also offer a two-week train-the-trainer workshop.  Contact us here for details.

• LEAN SIX SIGMA GREEN BELT WORKSHOP

  Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Workshops are available through ASQ 1124, Florence Darlington Technical College, and the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing Technology.  These two week workshops will provide you with the Lean techniques and Six Sigma MS Excel-based tools to handle most continuous improvement projects.  ASQ Member cost for the two weeks of hands-on professional instruction is a low $1500 … E-mail us for details. 

• ASQ CERTIFICATION EXAM WORKSHOPS

The Pee Dee Section in cooperation with FDTC and SiMT will be offering workshops in preparation for ASQ Certifications as a Quality Technician, Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence, Quality Engineer, Six Sigma Green Belt, and Six Sigma Black Belt.  E-mail us for details and the latest schedule.

Please consult the ASQ National Website for the latest application and exam dates.

• PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS (OEE)

One of the most powerful, yet misapplied metrics in manufacturing.  Reality is most facilities have the inherent capacity to increase throughput by 30, 40, 50% or more.  Learn how to cost effectively improve equipment performance, availability, and product quality through the practical application of OEE.  This 8 hour workshop will be held at SIMT in Florence.  The cost is $300 for ASQ members and $325 for non-members.
