SUMMARY:Principles of Lean Enterprise Methodologies and Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Lean Manufacturing encompasses a set of continuous improvement techniques that\, when implemented\, shorten the time between customer order and shipment by eliminating or reducing non-value added activities. One effective approach to capturing the power of Lean is the CEG’s signature Lean Simulation. Working for “Buzz Electronics” (a mock manufacturing facility)\, participants assemble a product on a simulated factory floor\, incorporating the various principles of Lean along the way. By participating in a Lean Simulation\, you experience how to use half the manufacturing space and half the effort to produce products in half the time with fewer defects. \nSIMULATION OBJECTIVES\nThis full-day program combines a comprehensive classroom presentation with hands-on simulation of a production facility. In this workshop\, we introduce the basic concepts of Lean Manufacturing and demonstrate the tools and methodology necessary to implement “lean” on the shop floor.\nParticipants act as production workers\, applying the lean tools to their individual workspaces as well as across the entire product line. This learn-do technique over four “shifts” illustrates cause and effect relationships for the lean tools presented. Participants review methodology and lessons learned from previous shifts\, deciding what and how to implement while working with realistic constraints such as available resources\, cash flow and resistance to change. \nTOPICS COVERED\n• Traditional Manufacturing\n• Defining Lean\n• Eight Wastes\n• Standardized Work\n• Total Productive Maintenance\n• Visual Controls\n• Workplace Organization (5S)\n• Plant Layout\n• Quick Changeover\n• Point of Use Storage\n• Quality at the Source\n• Pull Systems\n• Cellular Flow Manufacturing\n• Batch Size Reduction\n• Takt Time\n• Work Balancing\n• Keys to Success \nBENEFITS OF THE LEAN MANUFACTURING OVERVIEW\nParticipants will learn how to identify the eight wastes in manufacturing and experience how productivity can be improved by applying standard work\, visual controls\, quick changeover\, batch size reduction\, point-of-use storage\, quality at the source\, pull systems and more. \nCost: $395 per person \nLimit of 16 people \nManufacturers Register Here \n

SUMMARY:September: VentureB Presentation
DESCRIPTION:CEG coaches entrepreneurs in creating & delivering a presentation resulting in an open public pitch to regional investors & business leaders. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\nVentureB is a quarterly program designed for entrepreneurs to gain visibility to the region’s angel and institutional investors\, business service providers\, advisers\, students\, faculty\, alumni and the early stage business community. \n\n\nJoin us for a VentureB In-Person Presentation on Tuesday\, September 27th.\n  \nPresenters: \nVirtual Babysitters Club \nAn online marketplace that connects parents with virtual lessons/activities for their kids conducted by professional performers over Zoom\, keeping kids engaged in “virtual babysitting sessions” full of activities like magic\, dance\, art\, games & more! \npRxcision \nUnintended misuse of antibiotics leads to societal and financial impact to hospitals and insurers. By using pRxcision broadly to support the personalization of antibiotic prescribing in a hospital setting\, tens of thousands of needless deaths per year could be prevented\, and antibiotic resistance could be reduced\, extending their time and scope of value and effectiveness.  \n  \n AGENDA \n3:30 – 4:00 | Check in \n4:00 – 4:10 | Welcome & Panel Introductions: Michael Lobsinger\, CEG \n4:10 – 4:55 | Presentations\, each followed by Q&A \n\nVirtual Babysitters Club\npRxcision\n\n4:55 – 5:00 | Closing Remarks \n5:00 – 6:00 | Networking & Refreshments \n  \nDownload the map of the location here>> For directions\, Enter ETEC building Albany in Google Maps. \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n\n
