We educate practitioners to become experts in today's sophisticated high-mix manufacturing core competencies.

Starting with the basics, the full spectrum of manufacturing-related topics, from competitive strategies through performance measurements are covered, including the groundbreaking Multiple Constraint Synchronization algorithm (MCS™) [patent pending].

Education

Basics of High-Mix, Low-Volume Manufacturing Workshop—A one-day experiential learning environment leveraging teamwork while teaching fundamental manufacturing techniques. This is a prerequisite of the Basics of Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop.

Basics of Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop—This comprehensive workshop is a one-day experiential learning environment demonstrating how to reduce your inventory investment with proper lot sizing technique and increase your throughput by learning how to schedule multiple constraints with MCS™ coupled with proper forecasting technique.

Advanced Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop—This advanced and comprehensive workshop is a one-day experiential learning environment that presents the fundamental knowledge required to implement ground breaking MCS™ in your manufacturing environment, thereby attaining competitive advantage. It extends the concepts presented in the Basics of Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop with a unique focus on strategic capacity planning, MCS™ master planning, modeling operations, and dynamic lot sizing. Thus, your team will be setting itself on the path towards excellence in quality, cost, delivery and responsiveness performance.

Multiple Constraint Synchronization Seminar—An alternative to the workshop environment for those who would prefer a seminar format. Choose our 2-day or 4-day seminar depending on how much technical detail you prefer. Both are presented dialectically and are designed to cover the concepts presented in the Basics of Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop and Advanced Multiple Constraint Synchronization Workshop. Your team comes away with the core competencies to win in high-mix manufacturing!
