Arctic Cat

Monday, May 18
5:15 p.m. − 6:30 p.m.

Improve your quality of life with “After 5” sessions. These exciting and innovative sessions are less formal than concurrent sessions or tutorials and cover a myriad of topics that may or may not relate directly to quality in the traditional sense. The sessions are 75 minutes long and include a social component, which adds to the level of interaction between the facilitator and the participants as well as the participants and their peers.

AF01 - Lean For Your Kitchen

Presenter: Aimee Siegler - Benchmark Electronics and Lori Dellinger - Citizens Bank
Level: Basic
Focus Area: 21st Century Needs/Competencies/Issues

Description: Freezer or once-a-month cooking is a great way to bring the power of lean to your kitchen. Buying in bulk reduces shopping trips, which saves time and money. Doing preparation work redistributes the work so weeknights are less of a challenge. Brought to you by the Women in Quality Network, this session will show you how to bring the power of lean to your kitchen.

AF02 - Making Sushi: An Improved Process Using PDCA and Lean

Presenter: Valentine Boving - U.T.M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Level: Basic
Focus Area: Quality Basics

Description: The growing popularity of sushi is evidenced by its expansion beyond the traditional sushi bar. It is common to encounter sushi in your local grocery stores and workplace cafeteria. The volume required to meet taste bud demands in multiple locations requires some thought. Join us in our efforts to reduce waste and improve layout design in order to produce our lean, mean sushi machine of the future. Our improvement metric will be motion and time studies.
