Board of Directors 2005-2006
In January
we met at the Silver Valley Supper Club, a new location for us. We were pleased to have Ben Milbrath of Kohler speak to us for the first time. He provided a unique look at inventory
measurement. Thanks go out Ruth Zimmermann for locating another good site, and
to Linda Tryba who contacted Ben about presenting to us.
For
February we will be at one of our more familiar locations¸ Millersville House,
with a familiar speaker, Denny McCullough, who has shared his expertise with us
a number of times. He always gives an
excellent presentation on a timely topic. The topic for this month’s
presentation is How Applying the 5S’s Equals 50% Set Up
Reduction. After taking care of your heart on the 14th
(Valentine’s Day), come out and take care of your head, by attending our PDM.
As Steven Covey says in his book The Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People, it is important to take the time to “sharpen
the saw”. For other ways to do that,
click on APICS links such as CPIM certification;
take our CPIM classes; learn about
and prepare for the CSCP certification;
attend a seminar or an APICS webinar; or
subscribe to the APICS e-News
.
I hate to
sound like a broken record (sounds like a failure to adapt to change-perhaps CD
is more appropriate), but we continue to have a pressing need for someone among
us who has leadership and organizational skills that they could share with the
chapter by serving as Executive Vice President. This person would not be
expected to accept the responsibility with no training. They would serve the
Board in a learning by watching capacity for a year.
They are responsible for work on the Passport, but there are many on the Board
who assist with this duty. They would work with an experienced and energetic
group of folks who have devoted their talents to make our Chapter a success,
and its fun! I know there are many of you out there who could take our chapter to
the next level. Please consider volunteering.
The time commitment is small in relationship to the impact one can make, and
the rewards available for your efforts. It is time for someone else to take
over the helm of our Chapter. Is that someone you? If so, please contact me, or
any of the other board members to learn more.
You’ll be glad you did!

February 15th Professional Development Meeting
Speaker: Dennis C. McCullough
President McCullough Enterprises,
LLC
Topic: How Applying
the 5S’s Equals 50% Set Up Reduction
Many of the Lean principles are closely related and
interdependent. One of the most
beneficial relationships is the 5S methodology and the Set Up or Changeover
Reduction process. In fact, applying the
5S’s to a Set Up /
Changeover process time, factory or office, almost always
results in a 50% reduction….or more!
Here’s the really cool part!
It never costs more than “pocket change” to work these two simple, yet
powerful, Lean strategies in parallel.
This presentation will explain how 5S and Set Up / Changeover Reduction
work hand-in-hand to reduce cost and reallocate capacity to value-added work
including some “real-life” examples.
Speaker Biography
Denny formed McCullough & Associates, LLC in 2005. Prior to his new
venture, Denny was president and owner of a consulting franchise, operating
