Value and Lean - Major Principles
Waste = Unnecessary Non-Added Value
-- Scrap, rework, waiting for batches, unneeded space/items/etc
-- People are NOT waste—they ARE the most versatile resource
Value is Ultimately Defined by the End Customer
-- Operators, maintainers, “emergency” folks, etc--Not just buyers
Identify the Value Stream (VS)
-- All steps in product creation, from first idea/action to end user
-- Work Backwards from End User Needs, to Beginning of VS
Make Value Flow Eliminate waste, Minimize non added-value, so
that the item moves easily, from one value creating step to the next
Let Customers PULL Value from Producer
-- Don’t make then Push product along without a clear rqmt./signal
from the next step- schedule by demand rather than forecasts
Strive for Perfection (at VS level, Avoid optimizing individual steps)

Lean, Value, Variation & Quality – F-16 MLG Door
Defect-causing Process Variations Occur in the many Not-Added Value
/ Wasteful (NAV/W) steps, Not Just in the fewer Value Added steps.
SO, Eliminating NAV/W steps can Reduce Variation, Improve Product Quality!

Best Method: Target “Non-Value” FIRST,
6 then Six Sigma the “Value Added”

Guidance for Info Gathering / Mapping
2. The VSM/their own Small “cadre” Walks the factory floor during
a “typical” period(s), gathers Current “slice in time” information
5. Protocol: Tell floor operators in Advance what and why you are
mapping, encourage them to provide inputs, suggestions, Changes
to your map. This is NOT “time & motion” or “prep for
downsizing” !!
