Methods & Time Training
“field-oriented and autonomy-driven”
Training to master your standard times: Time Study, MTM2 and GSD
Training to optimize your production tools: Lean management, production Audits
Who are these training programs for?
- Methods managers
- Methods technicians
- Production managers
- Industrialization engineers
- Lean / Continuous Improvement managers
These training programs can also be adapted to any role involved in defining, applying, and managing methods and standard times.
What our trainees learn
- Analyze a workstation and a process in a structured way
- Build reliable standard times
- Carry out consistent line balancing
- Understand and explain the results obtained
- Communicate time standards with credibility
Your times will no longer be approximate. They will be easy to justify and less challenged internally.
We do not just train! We make teams operational.
- Each training session is based on your real production situations.
- The tools delivered are ready to use as soon as you return to the workshop.
- Gaps are observed, analyzed, and corrected during the training.
- Productivity gains are measured in real time.
- The training develops lasting operational autonomy.
At the end of the training, teams know how to do — not just know.
HOW WE TRAIN
“A teaching approach rooted in your reality”
We use a structured Excel / VBA tool as a teaching support.
Our training programs are designed for the long term
The training can be integrated into a broader improvement approach
(Below are examples of frequently requested topics)
Through these few tabs, we present the essential technical knowledge to study and organize the industrial manufacture of a product.
All these courses are built according to proven pedagogical approaches.
In collective training, animation is based on business cases or practical scenarios which:
– Promotes exchanges between participants,
– Allows the adaptation of contributions to the specific expectations of the participants (within the framework of the training objectives) and thus promotes the operational aspect.
In individual training , we rely on your personal business case. The studies and exercises come directly from your product and your organization.
Product analysis is the first step in industrialization.
This makes it possible to analyze each stage of the assembly of the product to verify its feasibility. It is also the stage of researching the first sources of productivity before focusing on manufacturing.
| All trades | – Improvement and simplification of products, – Optimize the organization of operations and resources, – Analyze, optimize and industrialize the product, – Define the appropriate means and tools (best material means necessary), – Define the quality criteria for each step and operation… |
The final goal of this training is to define the times and material means of a product or an internal logistics organization . But to get this, you must first define:
– the manufacturing range of the product
– all logistics flows from the reception of raw materials to the shipment of finished products.
This study allows in particular to obtain valuable information allowing calculate costs and lead times of production through:
– Analysis of each stage of assembly to analyze its feasibility.
– The definition of the best necessary material resources.
– Optimization of the organization of operations and resources.
| Study of times: Textile / Clothing |
Time study specific to the field of sewing. We use the GSD method as well as a computer application allowing to calculate the times very quickly. |
| Study of times: All trades Assembly |
Study of assembly times for all types of products. We use the MTM2 method as well as a computer application allowing to calculate the times very quickly. |
| Study of times: Internal Logistics |
Study of internal handling times for all types of organizations and products. We use the SMB2 method as well as a computer application allowing to calculate the times very quickly. |
|
Process range: Assembly All products |
Analysis of the work and manufacture of the product. Search for the best manufacturing process according to volumes, diversity of references, material and investment resources… |
|
Process range: Logistics All trades |
Study of logistics flows in stocks and manufacturing workshop. Analysis of the work carried out for each logistics loop. Search for the best handling process based on volumes, the diversity of references, material and investment resources… |
|
Balancing All trades |
Balancing of manufacturing and logistics operations. Search for the most optimized process. Saturation of workstations and optimization of operating and organizational methods |
This training is a continuation of the product and logistics flow study modules. It allows to approach the organization for 2 main types of cases: either a new project, or an existing reorganization. Depending on the needs, this training can be modulated according to the implementation needs of one or more of the following cases:
– Complete plant (ground plan),
– Warehouse,
– Production workshop,
– Workstation layout.
This course can also be organized for 2 main types of cases: either a new project, or an existing reorganization. (The information below is only an example).
| New project (new workshop) |
|
| Existing reorganization (Productivity improvement) |
|
Having an efficient production framework is not a luxury but a very important obligation for a company.
The Production Manager is the link between technical, quality, sales, HR, etc.
Not only does it supervise the production tool, but it must also ensure its perfect organization.
Three types of knowledge are necessary to master this function: Management of personnel, Knowledge Product and Mastery of Process.
