DESCRIPTION:
Based on the heijunka file, prepare a reading report (Free) where you indicate the
most important parts of the Lean tool.
Report:
Heijunka is one of the most important techniques that exist within the
implementation of Lean Manufacturing, because it represents a maximum degree
of commitment to the Just In Time philosophy;
This is due to the idea of leveling the flow of the product according to the real
behavior of the demand.
The heijunka is a means used to be able to adapt production flows to the behavior
of demands.
This is how the impacts caused by fluctuations in demands and their effects on the
system's inventories are mitigated.
Something important about this topic is that it is done by moving from a line
dedicated to a single product, therefore, this being sensitive to variations in sales
towards flexible lines, capable of manufacturing various types of products;
These variations in the demands of each type of product are cushioned by the
flexibility of production tools with the idea that there will be less variation and
variability.
While the process requires strict compliance with the principles of standardization
and production balance.
In short, Heijunka allows us to smooth line loads by mixing product manufacturing
orders, thereby facilitating work stability and standardization.
The second objective of Heijunka is to be able to assemble the different models of
the same line while eliminating the Mudas with the normalization of the work.
This application will allow production in the orders of customer demands, this is
because the Heijunka practice helps distribute and balance production in the
available means instead of subjecting the dedicated means to variations in
demand.
In order to implement Heijunka, it is necessary to use a series of tools that are
integrated to allow a constant and level flow production system to be obtained
based on real demands.
- The use of work cells
- Continuous flows piece by piece
- Production adjusted to takt time
- Leveling production quantities
- Production leveling for your reference
With this, more is understood about what Lean Manufacturing encompasses and
the various issues that it has;
The principle of Lean is to produce the variety of a limited team to be able to
compete without the costs of mass production, this Lean system specifies how the
demand is as level as possible so that the products flow regularly in the processes
and that these require a minimum of the stock in the necessary points without
incurring the risks of breaking the flow.
Production adjusted to takt time
The takt time is an indicator of the frequency of the customer's purchase in
measurements taken in a matter of seconds.
For Heijunka it is an objective time to which the production system must adapt and
meet customer expectations.
It is calculated as follows:
TIEMPO TAKT = Tiempo disponible/Demanda
The way to level the amount of production:
The objective of leveling the quantity of production is to minimize the differences
between the production in one period and that of the following period.
With this it is understood that it is best to produce the same amount of products in
each period (usually in each day).
Although the demand for it can change considerably depending on the factors of
seasonal variations, for example, the leveling of production quantities allows the
daily production volume to remain constant.
With this we understand the advantages of implementing Heijunka:

- Helps minimize overproduction

- Fully implements the pull system

- Minimizes inventories of products in process and finished

- Helps minimize opportunity costs

- Synchronizes the use of working capital and billing rates.
