Above all SUSTAINABLE Improvement


Create precise customer value

- goods and services with higher quality and fewer defects

with less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time than the traditional system of mass production.

Remove waste Consume just enough recourses Do more with less

Survival Kit


Defining Value and Waste

Defining value - an item or feature for which a customer willing to pay.

Every thing else waste

Waste - activities that consume time, resource and/or space but do not add value.

Lean - Production of product to meet demand on daily basis with minimum lead time & non value added activities eliminated or minimized


Focus on Waste


Value Added Activity

Test for value added activities

- Transforms product in some way

- Customer sees & willing to pay

- Will the customer know if eliminated

To produce sooner,fasteror in greater quantitiesthan customer demand.

Raw material,work in progress

or finished goods which is not havingvalue added to it.

People or partsthat wait for

a work cycle tobe completed.

Unnecessary movementof people, parts or

machines withina process.

Unnecessary movement of peopleor parts between processes.

Non rightfirst time.Repetitionor correctionof a process.

Seven Wastes


Eliminating Waste

7 steps

1. Reduce lead time

2. Cut operations costs

3. Improve business performance visibility

4. Speed time to market

5. Exceed customer expectations

6. Streamline outsourcing processes

7. Manage global operations


Lean manufacturing is not a collection of best practices from which manufacturers can pick and choose. It is a production philosophy, a way of conceptualizing the manufacturing process from raw material to finished goods and from design concept to customer satisfaction. Lean is truly a different way of thinking about manufacturing.

Lean Thinking, Lean Tools & Supporting Strategies


Lean Tools to Lean Management

Lean thinking

The basics of Lean Thinking is the customer first

How do we do that?

By creating thinking people

And how do we do that?

By creating workplaces that are more human and encourage people to think


Lean Thinking Principle #1Define Value

The critical starting point for Lean Thinking is The critical starting point for Lean Thinking is valuevalue as defined by the ultimate customer.as defined by the ultimate customer.

???


Lean Thinking Principle #2Identify the Value Stream

All the actions required to bring a specific product or service through the three critical transformation processes:

Idea transformation: concept to market launch Information transformation: order-take through

scheduling to delivery Physical transformation: raw materials to final

customer

Value-add time (Hours) Inventory Waiting

Typical value-add to lead-time ratio ~ 1%

Waste Value-add activity

Setup Transportation Waiting Inspect


Lean Thinking Principles #3,4,5

#3: Make the work flow Every time the flow of work stops we

consume resources that adds costs but generates no value

#4: Respond only when the customer pulls work Overproduction is the worst form of waste

as it generate all other waste types e.g. transportation, inventory, waiting,..

#5: Strive to seek perfection The real benchmark is zero waste, not

what your competitors are doing!

5S

A method for organizing a workplace, and keeping it organized.

Benefits1.Improve safety2.Decrease down time3.Raise employee morale4.Identify problems more quickly5.Develop control through visibility6.Establish convenient work practices


Visual Control

Any communication device used in the work environment that tells us at a glance how workshould be done and whether it is deviating from the standardBenefits1. Increase productivity2. Improve quality3. On-time delivery4. Reduce inventory 5. Increase equipment reliability6. Boosts bottom-line profits


Visual controls show

Where items belong?

How many items belong there?

What is the standard procedure for doing something?

Status of work in process.

Many other types of information critical to the flow of work activities.


Visual management

Visual management maintains an orderly work environment.

Employees have quicker and safer access to items that are needed.

Colour-coding is often used to remind employees of where items belong.

If order is not continually stressed, disorder will result and create an unfriendly work atmosphere.


BenefitsIntroductionLean Tool1. Improves morale and

leadership skills.2. Finds the barriers that

thwart creativity3. Clearly defines objectives

and goals4. Improves processes and

procedures5. Improves organizational

productivity6. Identifies a teams

strengths and weaknesses7. Improves the ability to

problem solve

An active process by which a group of individuals with a common purpose are focused and aligned to achieve a specific task or set of outcomes

BenefitsIntroductionLean Tool

1. Leads to identify root cause(s) of chronicle problems

The Problem Solving is a systematic approach with a sequence of sections that fit together depending on the type of problem to be solved. These are:

1. Problem Definition2. Problem Analysis3. Generating possible

Reduction of total time taken from start of the production or service to its completion. It includes processing time, move time, wait time, and inspection time

Cycle Time reduction


Cycle Time reduction


1. Bring immediate attention to problems as they occur in the manufacturing process.

2. Provide a simple and consistent mechanism for communicating information on the plant floor.

3. Encourage immediate reaction to quality, down time, and safety problems.

4. Improve accountability of operators by increasing their responsibility for goodproduction and empowering them to take action when problems occur.

5. Improve the ability of supervisors to quickly identify and resolve manufacturing issues.

A Japanese term refers to the warning lights on an assembly line that light up when a defect occurs. When the lights go on, the assembly line is usually stopped until the problem is diagnosed and corrected.
