About the
Competitive Manufacturing Program
Competitive
Manufacturing provides the skills to implement modern
manufacturing techniques required to sustain industry
performance.
Delivered in the
workplace this program is very different from most training
programs and focuses on improvement outcomes in the workplace.
Using techniques taken from Lean and Agile Manufacturing, and
Total Productive Maintenance programs the units of competency
can be tailored to suit the needs of manufacturers and
processors.
Improve (NZ) Ltd
provides participant companies with a reference library and
templates to implement a Competitive Manufacturing system.
Competitive
Manufacturing training delivery
Delivered over a
period of 7-18 months the training can be modified to suit your
business needs. Examples include block training – 2 days every
6-8 weeks, 1 day per month or ˝ per fortnight. Hours are also
flexible to suit shift workers, or high production needs.
Additional sessions are provided to those undertaking a
Certificate 4 – Facilitation option.
Competitive
Manufacturing assessment
Companies undertake
a Competitive Manufacturing Assessment upon commencement of the
program. This identifies manufacturing strengths and weaknesses
and prioritizes training requirements linked to improvement
opportunities – units of competency are then delivered to suit
the business needs and priorities.
