WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

A common requirement to attain either world class lean or world class safety is the ongoing engagement of the workforce. Lean thinkers all agree that it is this cultural changing employee engagement activity that leads to long term lean success. Too often lean has been used as a cost savings methodology by management and as a result gaining employee interest and buy-in can be difficult. This workshop suggests a different path to lean success – a safe path. By using some of the common tools in a lean thinker’s tool box and focusing on safety instead of cycle time you can easily start to build an understanding and the acceptance of lean while you improve safety in your facility. Safety compliance (OSHA) is the focal point of most safety programs. Reacting to injuries and near misses is the norm. Yet an opportunity exists to proactively engage the workforce in a meaningful safety improvement program. How better to show respect for people.

Day one of this 2-day workshop will be held in a classroom. On day two the attendees will be formed into safety kaizen blitz teams and will work on the shop floor (gemba).

Workshop exercises may include:• Crafting a safety cultural vision statement• Process mapping of safety processes• Create an employee safety engagement survey• Develop a form to gather safety improvement ideas• Outline safety standard work for managers
