Cycle Time Management/Reengineering
Recognizing that all work within the organizational structure is by definition a process, cycle time management—often referred to as reengineering—provides the framework to reassess each process step to determine its value in satisfying the customer. This course uses mapping techniques inherent within process and cycle time management methodologies to assist participants to uncover their baseline of present-day business operations, and the cycle time, effectiveness, and degree of waste of those processes. The result is typically a 40-50 percent reduction in waste and cycle time.

How to Coach Your People to Think Independently
Participants will learn the alternative and highly effective new way to implement teams in their organization. Participants will learn surprising facts about why teams fail and how to jump-start a team. The instructor will discuss personal experiences in establishing teams and eventual results including cutting lead time from three days to ten hours, reducing defects by 78%, and improving productivity by 31%. Most strikingly, morale (measured by corporate surveys) improved by 210%!

Manufacturing Technology Fundamentals
The purpose of this course is to provide an overall introduction and review of manufacturing processes, equipment, and process capabilities, with a strong emphasis on product design, material, process, and equipment selection. Major issues in modern manufacturing and global competition will also be discussed. Non-engineers who work in a manufacturing environment will benefit from understanding how a product is manufactured.

Project Risk Management
This course arms project managers with the essential knowledge, skills, and tools to effectively manage and even predict the effects of risks on the project. The project manager must accept the fact that risks exist and learn to deal with them effectively. For every project, the benefits of the project must be weighed against the potential risks to both the customer and to the project manager's own organization. In today's business climate, both senior management and the customer have become increasingly adverse to risk, particularly risks imposed without an offsetting benefit or value.

Rapid and Accurate Cost Estimating and Quoting
The ability to perform rapid, accurate, and consistent manufacturing cost estimating and quoting can be a significant competitive weapon. In this course, you will learn how to drastically reduce lead-times (by 80% or more) in responding to requests-for-quotation by employing quick response estimating methodologies and office processes. Manufacturing cost estimating for both modified-standard products and custom-made products (ranging from single components to large equipment) will be addressed. Examples relating to manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal fabrication, tube bending, welding, sand castings, die castings, wood working, and mechanical assembly will be discussed.

Walking the Talk Certificate Series
Employees with the best tactical skills make the best managers! How often have we heard that, and found it to be untrue? The truth is, there is a significant difference between being an excellent individual contributor and in being an excellent leader.
Leadership and management skills do not come naturally in all but a few cases, but rather must be learned. Certainly, an individual may have some of the basic natural talents to be a good leader, but many of the nuances of effective management must be learned either through experience or from someone who has made the transition into management from a technical or operational position. In either case, there is a learning process. And that’s exactly what this seminar is all about…learning to make the transition into management from someone who has made the transition into middle management from a technical position, and then on into executive management positions.
