Franklin Institute offers manufacturing workshop
A Nov. 16 workshop will teach manufacturers how to serve their customers better.
Mississippi State University’s Value Stream Mapping workshop is a one-day course that will teach manufacturers how to make their work flow more efficiently and eliminate unnecessary steps by mapping their work processes.
The 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. workshop will be held in the Renasant Center in Tupelo. The $40 registration fee covers lunch and materials.
MSU’s Franklin Furniture Institute experts will teach the mapping concept, first used by Toyota.
"The process involves mapping a product’s production path throughout from order in to product out," said Bill Martin, institute director. "Value stream mapping can be the foundation for companies moving toward lean manufacturing systems."
To register for the workshop, visit www.ffi.msstate.edu/events.asp or contact Martin at (662) 325-3348 or wmartin@cfr.msstate.edu.
