Lean Line Design Training
Find the best line concept for your application
Designing an efficient production line is a cornerstone of lean manufacturing. This training equips participants with the tools and concepts needed to create flow-oriented, flexible, and stable production systems. It also offers practical guidance on when and how to shift from conventional job shop layouts to streamlined flow line configurations.
Learn where to use which concept.
You will be introduced to a wide range of line design approaches
The course begins by understanding how line design impacts efficiency, lead time, and adaptability. Participants will then dive into key line structures and configurations—such as U-lines, I-lines, L-lines, and large-scale line layouts—and how these choices affect flow and staffing. By the end, they will have a clear understanding of how to move from fragmented job shop setups to lean, flow-oriented lines that support high performance and continuous improvement.
Let us explain the details for each configuration
Align your production line with current requirements
A strong focus is placed on the Toyota approach to line planning, including how to use standard work, cycle time, and workload balancing to design stable, synchronized lines. We’ll also cover various manning strategies and how to determine the optimal number of operators based on demand and line design.
What is the best configuration for your current demand?
Try everything out with our production simulation
Hands-on learning is central to this course. Participants will engage in several dynamic simulations using both manual and digital elements, experimenting with proven flow techniques. These exercises bring line concepts to life and help participants experience the impact of different designs on efficiency and teamwork.
