Waste
The essence of lean manufacturing is ide All processes either add value or waste.
Value
Waste
Waste Material Time Equipment Finished Goods Hidden Costs Set up and changeovers Reduced Speed Breakdowns Idling and Minor Stoppages Defects, Rework Overproduction The Seven Wastes in Manufacturing
1. Overproduction
Overproduction leads to all other forms o Just in Case production Overproduction Countermeasures Turn off the tap Reveales underlying problems Order-based scheduling Improve setup/changeover capacities 2. Waiting
Waiting is a major cause of production a Waiting is mostly due to long runs, poor Waiting Countermeasures Redesign production flow Interfaces Shorten production cycles Kanban Scheduling Teamwork 3. Transportation and Excess Motion
Transportation is a cost factor, and exce Transportation and Excess Motion Countermeasures Process Mapping Ergonomics Workplace Redesign Shorten distances and processes Teamwork
Overprocessing drives high asset utilisat Processing Countermeasures Appropriate Technology Appropriate Automation Levels Flexible Options Total Productive Maintenance
Teamwork 5. Defects
Defects are the primary metrics in Six Si Defects Countermeasures Quality Control Benchmarking Continuous Process Improvement

Value Stream Mapping Broad perspective of value streams Objectives: Increase customer responsiveness Identify opportunities Specify added value Process Mapping Sequential process charts Objectives: Identify wastes Specify improvements Streamline processes Standardize steps Build consensus
Process Mapping Example Process Mapping - Current, Future State Flow Key Objective: Tools: Takt Time Calculation Overall Equipment Effectiveness Set up reduction Standardised Work Levelled Production Work Balancing Pull Scheduling, Kanban Error Proofing 5 S, Visual Controls, FiFo
Flow Levelled Production Monthly customer demand translated into a daily mix of products Flow - Cellular Production Flow Takt Time
Takt Time = Production Time Available

Customer Demand
Takt Time
Customer Demand = 500 parts per week = 100 parts pe Takt Time = 420 / 100 = 4.2 minutes Cycle Time = 1,400 seconds Crew Size = 1,400 / 242 = 5.6 = 6 staff, strive for cycle reduction as to arrive at crew size of 5 staff
Just in Time
Little or no inventory Supplying the production process with the right part, First in, first out flow
Pull Scheduling 5 S / 5 C

Clearout & Classify clear up space Configure Standard layouts Clean & Check ensuring equipment fit for purpose Conformity standardize, communicate new standard Custom & Practice make it a habit and review freque
Metrics
Primary Metrics Six Sigma: Defects Primary Metrics Lean: Time Principles for Lean Metrics
Keep it simple. Use metrics that are easy to compile a Limit the metrics. Metrics only have to signal an alert; Use tripwires. Daily or weekly metrics only need to ale
Benchmarking
Adopting Best Industry Practices Setting Standards Quality Management Continuous Improvement
Deming Cycle Plan Do Check Act (Project Mgmt) DMAIC Process Variant (Six Sigma) Define Measure Analyze Improve Control Plan
Define a problem, an opportunity Analyze the situation. Brainstorm on causes and possi Develop an implementation plan Do Implement change/test Document processes Collect data Check Analyze data/results Monitor trends/levels Compare results against plan Act
If results are as expected, conclude/adopt > benchma If results are not as expected, revise plan Document processes
