What are the best ways to network with Lean Manufacturing professionals in different regions?

Uma abordagem é participar de conferências e workshops relevantes. Esses eventos oferecem oportunidades para interagir com especialistas, compartilhar experiências e estabelecer conex?es significativas. Além disso, plataformas online como LinkedIn podem ser utilizadas para encontrar e se conectar com profissionais influentes na área. Participar de fóruns de discuss?o e grupos de interesse online também é útil para trocar ideias e conhecimentos com colegas em diferentes partes do mundo. A colabora??o em projetos internacionais e a busca por certifica??es reconhecidas globalmente, como o Lean Six Sigma, também podem facilitar a amplia??o da rede de contatos.

Além de seguir ou conectar-se com profissionais através de plataformas online, é importante interagir com os profissionais de modo a aumentar a qualidade do networking, por vezes fazendo algum comentário, mas publica??es, ou mesmo fazendo alguma pergunta específica sobre algum conteúdo divulgado.

Attend relevant conferences and seminars focused on Lean Manufacturing. These events often attract professionals from various regions, providing an opportunity to connect with experts, share insights, and build valuable relationships.

Acredito que todas as plataformas online podem trazer boas experiências, mas a grande quest?o no meu entendimento é o que compartilhar em termos de formato e conteúdo. Entendo que dividir experiências é a forma mais rica das pessoas entenderem as suas competências, os seus interesses e as ferramentas que você trabalha. Com base neste entendimento o network come?a a crescer com base nos interesses em comum e evolui de forma que os dois lados possam crescer juntos e simultaneamente!

We must search for and join LinkedIn groups and online forums specifically focused on Lean Manufacturing. Here we need to focus on groups with active discussions and a diverse membership base. We should participate actively in group discussions by sharing our insights, asking questions, and contributing to conversations. We have to be respectful and professional in our interactions to build credibility within the community. We can leverage these platforms to seek advice, guidance, and recommendations from experienced professionals in the field. Here we would have the opportunity to follow influential thought leaders, practitioners, and organizations in the Lean Manufacturing space on LinkedIn and other platforms.

Participe de grupos específicos sobre Lean, vá em eventos que abordem temas como Melhoria Contínua e gere conex?es, troque experiências relevantes.

Getting involved in Lean Manufacturing professional associations can offer you access to industry insights, networking opportunities, and useful tools. An international organisation called the Association for Manufacturing Excellence is devoted to advancing manufacturing excellence and exchanging best practices. They provide seminars, workshops, and other learning and networking opportunities.The International Society of Six Sigma Professionals is devoted to Six Sigma and associated approaches, which frequently enhance Lean concepts. Access to information and networking possibilities in the larger field of process improvement can be obtained by joining this society.

AME is a MUST!!! Join the Association for Manufacturing Excellence and get engaged. Annual AME conference, Regional summit, benchmarking tours, seminars, large variety of opportunities available through this outstanding organization. If you only join one, AME is it. Sign up for AME visits to OC Tanner and Autoliv, priceless!

Joining Lean Manufacturing associations like the Association for Manufacturing Excellence and the International Society of Six Sigma Professionals offers insights, networking, and tools. These organizations focus on advancing manufacturing excellence and Six Sigma, providing seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities for process improvement.

We have to do some research and identify professional associations that focus on Lean Manufacturing or related fields. Once we've identified relevant associations, we can consider becoming a member and get access to training programs, networking events, conferences, workshops, and other resources that can facilitate connections with professionals from different regions. We should leverage these professional association events and platforms to exchange knowledge, best practices, and lessons learned. Professional associations would provide us access to industry publications, research papers, and newsletters and would keep us informed about the latest trends and developments in Lean Manufacturing and related fields.

Adding Conferences is one of the best ways to get out there and meet like-minded people. Don't be afraid to approach the speakers and engage with them. Sit with different people at lunch or breakfast.

Parto do principio de que nada melhor que o contato fisico. Na minha opini?o, participar de conferencias e workshops de manera presencial te possibilita aprofundar mais na conversa com os participantes, gerar uma melhor comunica??o e sem dúvidas um melhor networking.

Busque participar de eventos sobre o assunto, independente de tamanho ou importancia, ou mesmo custos. Eventos gratuitos podem ser menores porém podem promover conex?es importantes também.

Atualmente as op??es on line s?o inúmeras, praticamente toda semana tem um evento. Existem tb grupos de Whatsapp específicos com o tema Lean.

Attending the conference and workshops will always help you in creating your network with like-minded people, always take some time from your routine job and attend the conference. "YOUR NETWORK IS YOUR NETWORTH"

é muito importante conhecer outros processos, ou práticas diferentes associadas a processos conhecidos. Procure visitas abertas, ou participe de workshops dentro de empresas.

Ano passado visitei 04 empresas e este ano pretendo continuar com estas trocas. Os profissionais precisam se abrir para isto... mesmo em ramos totalmente diferentes a troca sempre acontece....viva a partilha!!

Visite grandes empresas que s?o referências no assunto. Por exemplo, você pode agendar uma visita à fabrica da Toyota pelo site da empresa e conhecer o TPS de perto, com certeza isso vai agregar muito ao seu conhecimento sobre Lean Manufacturing.

You can gain important insights into Lean Manufacturing processes by visiting plants and sites and seeing firsthand how companies put these ideas into effect on the shop floor. Respect the policies and procedures of the host company when planning or taking part in plant tours. Take into account how sensitive some activities and information are, and make sure you follow any confidentiality clauses or safety guidelines. Furthermore, thank the host for giving you the chance to benefit from their experiences.

Na minha opini?o as visitas direcionadas, com objetivos claros de benchmark em temas específicos, s?o as melhores formas de benchmark pois no gemba é onde se pode observar na prática o objeto de estudo/benchmark. Mas obviamente as visitas ocorrem após firmarmos rela??es nas plataformas online, nos workshops e conferências, etc que s?o outras op??es de resposta dessa quest?o.

To establish a more intimate and straightforward professional network with other lean manufacturing experts, consider contacting mentors or peers who may provide you with direction, counsel, or encouragement. Mentors are seasoned and accomplished lean practitioners who can support you as you advance professionally, hone your abilities, and conquer obstacles. Peers are other lean practitioners with whom you can collaborate, share resources, and gain knowledge from one another. Online networks, associations, or organizations that pair up lean practitioners according to their aims, interests, and backgrounds can help you locate peers or mentors.

Mentoring and coaching is very important, for me i get a lot of knowledge from mentoring others projects, as much as i gain experience I'll never cover all types of industries and services on my own but through coaching others from different industries i gain this necessary knowledge.

Participe de treinamentos, e mentorias para elevar e refinar seu conhecimento, com isso você poderá ministrar mentorias e ser referência no assunto, o que consequentemente atrairá outros profissionais para você, aumentando, assim, seu networking.

Moreover, fostering an environment that values coaching and mentoring can improve organisational learning as a whole.

Offering, and also taking , mentorship is a very effective way for a faster growing in Lean manufacturing. Infacts the knowledges, techniques, methods, will be very focused on real practices and cases. The key is to choose the right menthor, in your sector in order to have a win win discussion.

Post-networking events with professionals we need to follow up and stay connected.

We need to keep our connections engaged by sharing relevant articles or resources related to Lean Manufacturing which would demonstrate our interest in the field. If there were potential collaboration opportunities during the event, suggest scheduling follow-up meetings and calls to further explore those opportunities.

Engage actively in discussions, share valuable insights, and connect with professionals from diverse regions virtually.
