Lean 101 is a class designed to introduce students to the principles of Lean Manufacturing, focusing on efficiency and waste reduction in processes. Students will learn how to identify and eliminate unnecessary steps through a combination of lectures and hands-on activities.

This class will cover basic design and modeling practices that can be used across all design platforms. The goal of this course is to teach the fundamental skills and concepts to build parametric models, parts, and assemblies and how to make simple drawings of those parts and assemblies. This will be accomplished by using SolidWorks to create 3D models of parts from drawings and within assemblies. These parts will then be assembled in SolidWorks to confirm fitment and create 2D drawings. This will be accomplished over 2 days of hands-on modeling exercises led by a certified SolidWorks professional with industry experience. No prerequisite skills are required, but familiarity with SolidWorks is recommended.

This three day course is taught by Ramesh Gulati, who is the world leader in this area and the author of 'Maintenance & Reliability Best Practices'.

The M&R fundamentals course will boost your technical workforce's understanding of reliability & maintenance principles and help create a sustainable reliability culture to maximize the benefits.

This workshop introduces participants to Microsoft Power Automate as a powerful tool for streamlining and digitizing manufacturing workflows. Attendees will learn how to build automated processes that connect data, systems, and people, reducing manual tasks and improving operational efficiency. The curriculum covers flow creation, integration with manufacturing platforms, and real-world use cases such as maintenance tracking, inventory alerts, and production reporting. Designed for professionals in manufacturing and operations, no programming experience is required.

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to Microsoft Power Apps as a tool for creating custom applications that support smart manufacturing initiatives. Attendees will learn how to design and deploy low-code solutions to streamline data collection, automate workflows, and enhance visibility across production systems. The curriculum covers app development fundamentals, integration with manufacturing data sources, and real-world use cases tailored to industrial environments. No prior coding experience is required, ideal for engineers, technicians, and operations professionals seeking to modernize their processes.

This comprehensive workshop provides a structured, end-to-end approach to understanding, implementing, and sustaining Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing environments.

Participants will gain:

• A foundational overview of current and emerging technologies such as AI, digital twins, machine vision, and predictive maintenance.
• A step-by-step guide to integrating these technologies into production systems, including ROI calculations and cost-benefit analysis. Strategic planning tools to develop a sustainable roadmap for digital transformation, with a focus on maintainability, scalability, and long-term value creation.

Designed for manufacturing professionals, engineers, and decision-makers, this workshop bridges the gap between technical implementation and strategic execution, empowering participants to lead successful Industry 4.0 initiatives.
