SUMMARY:Supporting Employees While Maintaining a Safe and Productive Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturers and other employers often face difficult situations involving employee wellbeing\, workplace safety\, and maintaining a productive workforce. Supervisors are frequently the first to encounter these challenges and must balance compassion for employees with the responsibility to protect the workplace and the organization. \nThis session brings together experts from industry and community organizations to discuss practical approaches employers can use when navigating complex employee situations. Participants will gain insight into recognizing and responding to challenging workplace circumstances\, supporting employees in accessing community resources\, and exploring options that help employees remain productive members of the workforce. \nThe program will include perspectives from GENEDGE\, community support organizations\, and workforce development professionals. Together they will highlight approaches that allow employers to respond appropriately\, protect their organizations\, and connect employees with resources that may help them overcome personal challenges while remaining engaged in the workforce. \nRegister Here \nThis event will be held at the Pulaski Innovation Center on Thursday\, May 21 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. \nThis $125 per person training is offered at NO-COST through a GENEDGE partnership with New River/Mt. Rogers Workforce Development Board and the New River Valley Community Services.

SUMMARY:Half-Day Lean Process Improvement Class - Pulaski Innovation Center
DESCRIPTION: Dive Deeper into Process Improvement with GENEDGE: Master the Mechanics of Manufacturing!\nREGISTER HERE\nJoin us at the Pulaski Innovation Center in Fairlawn\, VA for a transformative half-day lean overview paired with hands-on simulation\, this interactive training accommodates 10-13 keen learners. \nWhat’s In Store? \n\nParticipants will go through three quick simulation rounds to teach concepts. Operators will build K’nex “Widgets” to simulate a traditional manufacturing operation.\nA Training overview will address standard lean tools and improvement methodologies\, including lot size reduction\, single piece flow and simulation results will demonstrate impacts to business in lead-times\, profitability and productivity.\nIn the simulation’s third-round the team applies concepts of kaizen and process improvement to create their own process flow\, which they can see the results of the changes and improvements over the three rounds.\n\nWitness Remarkable Results in Just Three Rounds! \nCycle time reduction of 80%\n90% reduction in WIP\n60% reduction of floor space\nUp to 150% increase in number of units shipped\n70% Increase in profit. \nTopics covered include: \n• Definition of Lean\n• 8 types of waste\n• Value add vs non-value add activities\n• Standard work\n• 5 S and visual management\n• Batch manufacturing and lot size reduction\n• Pull systems and Kanban\n• Point of use storage\n• Line balancing\n• Teamwork and kaizen\n• Plant layout \nReserve Your Spot & Ignite Operational Excellence With GENEDGE!\nINSTRUCTOR: Cheryl A.
