Beyond the Gemba

Leadership's role in promoting a Lean culture can not be overstated. Leaders who effectively listen and engage employees will have more visibility into issues and opportunities for improvement. In our opening session, we will showcase best practices from the Lean Innovation Community.
Dr. Myrna Flores, Lean Analytics Association

Improving Quality and Productivity Through Standard Work

Helvoet, is a high-tech, injection moulding supplier that produces over 1 billion precision parts per year.

Workforce Skills Development that Works

Traditional approaches to factory training are costly and ineffective. In this session find out how Danone has leveraged Poka to support a 70:20:10 approach to training and is empowering workers to learn continuously on the job.
Jorn Vroegh, Danone

Networking Coffee Break

Building an Operator-Centric Culture

The key to excellence in manufacturing is participation across all levels in problem solving and continuous improvement. But to effectively engage frontline workers, you need to rely on more than just Gemba walks. In this session, learn how one of the largest chocolate and cocoa producers in the world has built a worker-centric culture by leveraging traditional Lean tools and a modern digital connected worker application.
Johan De Langhe, Barry Callebaut

An Industry 4.0 Framework to Create Smart and Sustainable Factories

In this session, learn about the 4 steps every manufacturing leader needs to take to steer their organizations and teams through the Industry 4.0 journey.
