With today’s every changing manufacturing environment, the need for cost-effective techniques for achieving true “Lean Production” is greater than ever. Companies need to take full advantage of every opportunity to achieve that competitive edge which means so much to a firm’s survival.

The MTM Productivity Services Corporation in conjunction with the MTM Association invite you to attend a powerful one-half day seminar dealing with latest tools for achieving optimum success in a lean manufacturing environment. This seminar will be held on October 18, 2007 at the Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, 1905 West Field Court, Lake Forest, IL 60045 from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. An optional TiCon workshop will follow from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm.

The MTM Productivity Services Corporation, a member of the International MTM Group for Productivity Services, offers world renowned tools and support in the process of optimizing productivity in a lean manufacturing environment. Tracing their roots to the historic success of MTM, the members of the MTM Group have gone beyond lean to offer techniques for achieving truly optimized lean manufacturing through effective planning of the entire manufacturing process.

The agenda will provide the attendee with a thorough understanding of the tools and techniques used to plan the lean manufacturing environment including an understanding of the distinct advantages inherent in the planned approach versus the evolutionary approach used by the majority of US manufacturers.

·         Lean Manufacturing - Planned vs. Unplanned: This exciting discussion will provide you with a complete understanding as to why utilizing the planned approach to Lean Manufacturing is critical to your organizations success.

·          TiCon: A software tool designed to fully support the planning process so critical to the successful Lean Manufacturing initiative.
