• Step 1 – Define: Define the priorities of the customers with respect to
quality
• Step 2 – Measure : Measure the processes and the defects arising in the
product due to the process
• Step 3 – Analyze: Analyze the process to determine the most likely causes
of defects
• Step 4 – Improve : Improve the performance of the process and remove
the causes of the defects
• Step 5 – Control : Ensure that the improvements are maintained over
time.
• ISO 9001: This is the most comprehensive of the certificates for an organization
engaging in development / design, production, installation, and servicing
Two documents are provided by ISO as guidance to organizations for
understanding various aspects of a good quality system:
• ISO 9000: This document explains principal concepts and applications, guide to
selection and use.
• ISO 9004: This document explains principal concepts and applications, guide to
quality management, and quality system elements.

Lean manufacturing is a
philosophy
In 1990 James Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and
Daniel Roos wrote a book called “The Machine That
Changed the World: The Story of Lean Production--
Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That
Is Now Revolutionizing World Industry”

Which to Choose — MRP
(ERP), or Kanban?
Where Kanban works best.
Kanban is a very reactive system. Very little is planned ahead.
Instead, Kanban causes replacement of material used in a totally
reactive mode. Kanban works best in a highly stable and predictable
environment.

The Objections to Lean
How should you deal with these objections to lean?
• “It is very hard to deal with raw material suppliers if
we fully depend on customer order.”
• “It takes too much discipline.”
• “It takes too long to implement.”
• “My process is too complex; I have to deal with too
many uncontrollable variables, like late supplier
shipments, sick people, etc.”
• “My process requires a large batch size.”
• “It doesn’t make sense in my industry.”
• “It’s unclear to me how lean will work with my MRP
system.”

Lean and Green
The environmental impacts due to
production and waste generation
have made its way into every day
society.
Consumers are becoming more
environmentally conscious.
With the Earth’s limited resources,
companies are more conscious of
their carbon footprint, and there has
been a movement to create more
environmentally friendly decisions.

Lean Manufacturing is a link to green
engineering
Population grows
Wastes increase
Fossil fuels are diminishing and there is nothing replenishing
them. Consumers are becoming more aware of the environment
and prefer environmentally friendly companies.
Being lean and green is so important now to reduce the
consumption of natural resources and the CO2 concentration
in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Kanban
• Japanese word for card
– Pronounced ‘kahn-bahn’ (not ‘can-ban’)
• Authorizes production from downstream
operations
– ‘Pulls’ material through plant
• May be a card, flag, verbal signal etc.
• Used often with fixed-size containers
– Add or remove containers to change production
rate

– Seiri - keep only what is absolutely necessary, get rid of things that
you don't need, i.e. simplify or sort.
– Seiton - create a location for everything, i.e. organize
or straighten.
– Seiso - clean everything and keep it clean, i.e. cleanliness or
sweep.
– Seiketsu - implement Seiri, Seiton and Seiso plant wide, i.e.
standardize.
– Shitsuke - assure that everyone continues to follow the rules of 5S,
i.e. stick to it or self discipline.
ISO 9000
Who created the standards?
• International Organization for Standardization
- Geneva
• ISO tech committee - TC 176 started in 1979
• Standards created in 1987
– To eliminate country to country differences
– To eliminate terminology confusion
– To increase quality awareness
ISO 9000

How did ISO get started?
• 1906 - International Electro-technical Commission
• 1926 - International Federation of the National
Standardizing Associations (ISA)
• 1946 London - delegates from 25 countries decided to
create a new international organization "the object of
which would be to facilitate the international
coordination and unification of industrial standards
• 1947 - ISO began to officially function
• 1951 - The first ISO standard was published .
