Toyota Kata and Emotional Intelligence Workshop
By Mr. Dave Harry and Dr. Tony Prensa
TOYOTA KATA: The Secret Sauce for Toyota Production System
Speaker:
DAVE HARRY, a.k.a. “The Process Whisperer®”
Retired U.S. Naval Aviator
CEO of Process Whisperer® Consultants LLC, Greeneville, Tennessee, USA
ASQ certified Six Sigma Black Belt and A PMI certified PMP®
Kata in the Classroom (KiC) workshops are based on Mike Rother’s “Toyota Kata” methodology and that Scientific Thinking is a life skill. It’s the basis for creativity and successfully pursuing seemingly unattainable goals. KiC demonstrates a teachable skill that anyone can learn — by combining a simple scientific striving pattern with practice routines called Kata – to help you learn meta-cognitive strategies. Many view Toyota Kata as the “secret sauce” of the Toyota Production System (TPS). Mike Rother wrote “Toyota Kata” to explain the secrets of TPS improvement sustaining methodology. How do we prepare for the future when we don’t know what the future will bring? We can’t predict how to get from A to B… we’re stumped and overwhelmed, there are time constraints and economic pressure. Dave Harry will share the “secret sauce” with IEOM and Dubai Area University students through an intense hands-on “Kata in the Classroom” workshop. Be prepared to move fast!
Prizes: Each round table will be used for a team. Local university can form teams to complete. Dave is very kind to provide some prizes with gift cards.

Workshop by Co-Host
Digitalization in Production Planning and Control – Artificial Intelligence in Layout Planning and Digital Methods in Assembly
Speaker:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Braunreuther and Marcel Öfele
Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg
Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany
Stefan Braunreuther researches and teaches at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA) in the field of production technology, especially in the area of factory operations and organizational topics. In the surrounding area, he is active here in the Center for Production Technology at THA. Mr. Braunreuther studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with a focus on aerospace engineering and completed his doctorate in the field of laser production technology in 2013 at the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) at TUM. From 2014 onwards, he headed the department for production planning and control at Fraunhofer IGCV in Augsburg. Here he was also deputy head of the area processing technology from 2015. Since 2017 Stefan Braunreuther has been a professor for factory operations and production technology at the Faculty of Mechanical and Process Engineering at THA.
Marcel Öfele is a researcher in the field of production technology at THA. His research focuses on the application of artificial intelligence and operations research in production planning. He completed his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Ulm University of Applied Sciences in 2018 and afterwards was responsible for the project management and development of artificial intelligence tools for engineering applications at Faurecia Clean Mobility. Since attaining a master’s degree in Digital Engineering from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in 2021 he has been a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Center for Production Technology at the Faculty of Mechanical and Process Engineering at THA.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about the digitalization of production planning and control. The first part will cover the challenges associated with planning new assembly systems or replanning existing ones. Methods for systematically solving these challenges and how artificial intelligence can be used to speed up the planning phase will be presented. The workshop then applies these planning methods to the assembly system of a drone within the learning factory “OITC – Plant 1” of THA.
The second part of the workshop covers the digitalization of order processing within assembly systems. The positive effects of the digital connection of MES and the assembly stations with the help of worker assistance systems on the performance of the drone assembly line will be demonstrated.
