I'm not sure even someone as long-winded and experienced as I about Lean would fill 3 hours talking about Lean without inviting a barrage of rotting fruit and vegetables unless I made the event an interactive seminar with some hands-on things for the audience to work with to get a feel for the concept of "thinking Lean."

Thus said, a typical seminar might start with an

1. overview of brief history, general tools (spaghetti diagrams, etc.),
2. then a division of group into teams with a case study to generate a plan for picking some low hanging fruit to help an organization move into Lean,
3. next, a group evaluation of the strategies developed by the teams
4. finishing with a recap of lessons learned and a handout of lists of sources for more knowledge of the topic.

Re: What should I include in a Lean Manufacturing presentation

Here is a PPT for a presentation I did at a local college a few years back. Obviously a lot of what is there would need to be modified based on your own experience, examples, etc., but you can at least see the flow, theory vs. examples, references, etc.

I don't remember how long it was, and as Wes suggested, you could make it more relevant by having them think about a particular type of organization/situation that most people have seen, thinking about how lean is relevant.

Of course what happened is they all wanted to know more about what it was like to be a consultant. Wonder how many of them are now competitors? Oh well, that's capitalism.

Hello Ekonom !
Here you can find material for a very long course.
Browse the Pdf files, and sort out what you need.

It is enough for presentations for several days.
Good luck.

Duke made some very good points in his presentation.

I would also stress that Lean isn't a cost reduction program. It is a way to manage, and grow, the business. This is one of the reasons why there is an emphasis on "no layoffs". As resources become available, it is the job of management to find additional work and/or opportunities for the employees.

brief presentation for 3 hours? u must be kiddin'

a simple presentation would sound a lullaby and at the end of the presentation everybody would be found sleeping!

try interactive sessions with games explaining lean principles, One piece flow by dividing the participants into groups.
