SESA SYSTEMS' LEAN webinars

The SESA SYSTEMS innovation in 2020 is based on the creation of the SESAHUB platform which allows to aggregate all the flows which are exchanged in real time with the production players. This VISUAL DIGITAL MANAGEMENT in the production sites is carried out by digital screens connected to an internal or external network.

How to structure visual management with fluid and reactive indicators?

SESAHUB structures and organizes an instantaneous and permanent communication and exchange network, production meetings or meetings are animated with a chain of interactive screens: E-STATION, E-LEANBOARD, E-MEETING and E-ACTIVBOARD.

Simple display? Touchscreen ? How to choose the right screens?

SESA SYSTEMS offers a complete digital chain from entering data on SESAHUB to sharing indicators on the various digital screens.

• • Direct input of production results and visualization of results
• • Digital animation of visual indicators (Quality, Cost, Deadline, Management, Safety, Environment), LEAN site, Company life, Daily animation (weather, date, etc.).
• • Organize, modify and distribute your performance indicators, your action plans and all presentation supports.
• • Interactive animations of your meetings with all your software.

Find out how to implement Digital Visual Management in your business effectively!

It will not be the usual webinar on LEAN theory or principles: you will see concrete examples, equipment and accessories to implement LEAN and continuous improvement, based on our experience with more than 14,000 large companies . In just 30 minutes, we will give you concrete examples of:

• • How to increase the LEAN culture of your team?
• • How to set up visual management tools?
• • The implementation of 5S and the easy use of Kanban
• • Improve productivity, health and morale thanks to ergonomic workstations
• • Introduce the digital industry 4.0 into your operations in a rational way

In this webinar, Hector Villavicencio walks us through a pragmatic Strategic Leadership Process that has helped him successfully bridge the gap between strategic planning and operationalization. His framework builds on existing methods and on his personal experience implementing lean initiatives. The framework combines Lean and Business Change Management principles to drive and sustain business transformations.

Hector Villavicencio brings 20+ years of professional experience as a Project Development Engineer, Production and Facilities Engineering Manager, and Production Process Excellence Manager across multiple countries in companies such as Shell and Cargill. Examples of transformation projects he has led include initiation and implementation of a lean culture, production automation, integrated production systems models, production and system optimization, across multiple international sites. He has also led multidisciplinary project teams, from conceptual design to implementation, ranging from low-millions to $4+ billion in size. He started his career as a Steam Engineer in charge of plant safety and process operations. More recently, he has founded LEAN TPS LTD (Lean Technical and Project Management Solutions), a consulting practice that delivers technical and project management solutions through engineering, training, project management and lean consulting services.

Victor holds a Graduate Diploma in Management, a MSc. in Power Generation, a Chemical Engineering Degree from the University of Calgary, and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Author Michel Baudin Highlights Key Topics from his Four Books on Manufacturing Systems Analysis, Lean Assembly, Lean Logistics, and Working with Machines.

Followed by 116,000 professionals on LinkedIn, author of four published books and numerous articles, Michel Baudin shares 40 years of experience as an engineer in industrial companies and as a worldwide consultant for companies such as AGCO, Honda, Canon, Synthes, Parker Hannifin, Dell, Boeing, Raytheon, and Unilever.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Renowned author Michel Baudin reviews key topics for today's manufacturing, based on his books.

Questions related to production planning/scheduling, assembly line design and operation, logistics/supply chain management, and processes that involve human-machine interactions are covered.

He also tells us about his upcoming textbook entitled "Introduction to Manufacturing: An Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Perspective" (with Prof. Netland.)

Book topics examples include, but are not limited to:

• • Manufacturing Systems Analysis: Comparing various approaches like ERP, TOC and the Kanban system by applying the same analytical tools.
• • Lean Assembly: Addressing the generic issues of assembly, from oil tankers to toys, in a language that assembly managers and engineers could relate to.
• • Lean Logistics: Designating all the routine operations of manufacturing except the actual production of goods, including physical distribution, the information systems, and the management practices, particularly when working with suppliers.
• • Working with Machines: Focusing on processes that involve human-machine interactions, in fabrication, machining, or automatic assembly.

The methods presented in this webinar are unique. If you are interested in cutting-edge formal decision-making methods, you will want to see this.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

In continuous improvement (CI) projects, cause-and-effect (CE) diagrams are used to qualitatively express the relationship between a given problem and its root causes. However, when data collection activities are limited, and advanced statistical analyses are not possible, practitioners need to understand causal relationships.

In this webinar, a framework that combines cause-and-effect diagrams with Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to estimate causal relationships in instances where formal data collection/analysis activities are too costly or impractical is presented.

This framework enables continuous improvement practitioners to leverage qualitative data and expertise to conduct in-depth statistical analysis in the event that data collection activities cannot be fully executed. Furthermore, this allows continuous improvement practitioners to identify critical root causes of a given problem under investigation before generating solutions.
