One Point Lesson (OPL) Preparation Training
Grupas' One Point Lesson (OPL) Preparation program brings the most practical learning tool of Lean Manufacturing and TPM strategies to your organization. An OPL is a single-page learning document that focuses on one single topic, is short, concise and easy to understand, and is supported by pictures, graphics and diagrams. Thanks to this program, your teams learn to quickly visualize, standardize and share shop-floor knowledge; experience stays in the system, not in individuals.
The training covers OPL formats of the basic knowledge, problem and improvement types, the preparation steps and real application examples (for instance, a lubrication standard procedure).
Benefits It Provides
- Reduction of errors: Operators understand tasks and processes better; recurring errors and quality deviations are prevented.
- Increased productivity: Process losses, waiting times and downtimes decrease; overall operational efficiency rises.
- Fast and lasting learning: Instead of lengthy training documents, learning time is shortened with visual and applicable knowledge on a single page.
- Occupational safety culture: Safe working practices, PPE use and emergency procedures spread across the shop floor in an understandable way.
- TPM and autonomous maintenance support: Maintenance tasks such as cleaning, lubrication and part replacement are standardized step by step, and equipment performance improves.
- Early detection in quality control: Operators receive clear guidance on checking product characteristics and recognizing defective products.
- Continuous improvement culture: With before/after comparative OPLs, improvements become visible and employee participation grows stronger.
- Corporate knowledge sharing: Knowledge spreads rapidly between departments and shifts; the orientation of new employees becomes easier.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Production, maintenance, quality, occupational safety and continuous improvement teams; factories implementing Lean Manufacturing and TPM; and also office process teams that want to optimize software usage and workflows.
