GM WORKSHOPS FOR THE FALL

[CHUCKINPARTS]

New training courses from GM. I thought this one was extremely interesting.............
LEAN CONCEPTS. 2 DAYS $995.00

One of the keys to a healthy parts department is maximizing on the capital investment within the operation through improved productivity and elimination of waste.
A new GM Fixed Operations Academy workshop, Implementing Lean Warehouse Concepts (VMF0A.019H1), has been developed with that in mind. It takes you through the steps necessary to increase efficiencies in your parts department by adopting proven Lean Warehousing principles used every day in GM’s industry leading PDCs.

I about soiled myself when I read that one. Your parts dept can run just like the Pontiac PDC with just a little training.

" elimination of waste"
I learned to eliminate my own waste over 60 years ago, I don't think I need help from GM on this.

GM's definition of lean warehouse management could be:

Why don't we just try NOT stocking anything at all?

We will blame it on a poorly executed computer migration. We will take LEAN to the next level and call it MEAN. Don't ship anything.
