26History of Manufacturing
People
Product
Work Environment
27Cycle Time
One of the most noteworthy accomplishments in
keeping the price of Ford products low is the
gradual shortening of the production cycle. The
longer an article is in the process of
manufacture and the more it is moved about, the
greater is its ultimate cost. Henry Ford,
1926
28Lean Is Market Driven
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It
knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or
it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes
up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle
or it will starve to death. It doesnt matter
whether you are a lion or a gazellewhen the sun
comes up, you had better be running.
29Defining Lean
Lean has been defined in many different ways.
A systematic approach to identifying and
eliminating waste (non-value-added activities)
through continuous improvement by flowing the
product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of
perfection. The MEP Lean Network
30Definition of Value Added
- Value Added
- Any activity that increases the market form or
function of the product or service. (These are
things the customer is willing to pay for.) - Non-Value Added
- Any activity that does not add market form or
function or is not necessary. (These activities
should be eliminated, simplified, reduced, or
integrated.)
31Lean Eliminating the Wastes
Non-Value Added
Value Added
- Overproduction
- Waiting
- Transportation
- Non-Value Added Processing
- Excess Inventory
- Defects
- Excess Motion
- Underutilized People
Typically 95 of all lead time is non-value added
32Brainstorm Wastes
What wastes were apparent in Buzz Electronics?
33Eight Wastes
Overproduction
motion
Inventory
Waiting
Transportation
defects
Underutilized People
Non-Value Added Processing
34Overproduction
- Making more than is required by the next process
- Making it earlier than is required by the next
process - Making it faster than is required by the next
process - Causes of overproduction
- Just-in-case logic
- Misuse of automation
- Long process setup
- Unlevel scheduling
- Unbalanced workload
- Over engineering
- Redundant inspections
35Inventory Waste
- Any supply in excess of a one-piece flow through
your manufacturing process - Causes of excess inventory
- Misconception that this protects the company from
inefficiencies and unexpected problems - Product complexity
- Unleveled scheduling
- Poor market forecast
- Unbalanced workload
- Misunderstood communications
- Reward system
- Unreliable shipments by suppliers
36Inventory Waste in the News
Update Cisco Systems got greedy. And now it's
paying the price. On
Tuesday, the network-equipment giant provided the
grisly details behind its astonishing 2.25
billion inventory write-off in the third quarter,
essentially admitting that it too was caught up
in the Internet hype that, at its peak, gave the
company the highest market capitalization in
Wall Street history.
Eighty percent of the charge came from raw
materials and 20 percent was from work in
process.
Work in process, which primarily consisted of
subassembly boards, checked in at 450 million.
Of the raw
materials, 300 million of the charge was related
to memory products, specifically DRAM, SRAM and
flash-memory chips.
Optical equipment, including lasers and
modulators, represented 450 million.
Electro-mechanical equipment accounted for
150 million.
Non-memory components, including digital signal
processors and other microprocessors, checked in
at 900 million.
37Defects
- Inspection and repair of material in inventory
- Causes of defects
- Weak process control
- Poor quality
- Unbalanced inventory level
- Deficient planned maintenance
- Inadequate education/training/work instructions
- Product design
- Customer needs not understood
38Processing Waste
- Effort that adds no value to the product or
service from the customers viewpoint - Causes of processing waste
- Product changes without process changes
- Just-in-case logic
- True customer requirements not clearly defined
- Over-processing to accommodate downtime
- Lack of communication
- Redundant approvals
- Extra copies/excessive information
39Waiting Waste
- Idle time created when waiting for?
- Causes of waiting waste
- Unbalanced work load
- Unplanned maintenance
- Long process setup times
- Misuses of automation
- Upstream quality problems
- Unlevel scheduling
40People Waste
- The waste of not using peoples mental, creative,
and physical abilities - Causes of people waste
- Old guard thinking, politics, the business
culture - Poor hiring practices
- Low or no investment in training
- Low pay, high turn-over strategy
41Motion Waste
- Any movement of people or machines that does not
add value to the product or service - Causes of motion waste
- Poor people/machine effectiveness
- Inconsistent work methods
- Unfavorable facility or cell layout
- Poor workplace organization and housekeeping
- Extra busy movements while waiting
42Waste of Transportation
- Transporting parts and materials around the plant
- Causes of transportation waste
- Poor plant layout
- Poor understanding of the process flow for
production - Large batch sizes, long lead times, and large
storage areas

- Continually improving standards is the process
for developing consistent and reliable production
methods.
50Workplace Organization
A safe, clean, neat, arrangement of the
workplace provides a specific location for
everything, and eliminates anything not required.
51Clutter
52Disorganization
53Congested Workspaces
54Elements of a 5S Program
- SortPerform Sort Through and Sort Out, by
placing a red tag on all unneeded items and
moving them to a temporary holding area. Within
a predetermined time the red tag items are
disposed, sold, moved or given away. When in
doubt, throw it out! - Set in OrderIdentify the best location for
remaining items, relocate out of place items, set
inventory limits, and install temporary location
indicators. - ShineClean everything, inside and out. Continue
to inspect items by cleaning them and to prevent
dirt, grime, and contamination from occurring. - StandardizeCreate the rules for maintaining and
controlling the first 3 Ss and use visual
controls. - SustainEnsure adherence to the 5 S standards
through communication, training, and
self-discipline.
55Tool Organization
56Visual Controls
- Simple signals that provide an immediate
understanding of a situation or condition. They
are efficient, self-regulating, and
worker-managed. - Examples
- Kanban cards
- Color-coded dies, tools, pallets
- Lines on the floor to delineate storage areas,
walkways, work areas, etc. - Andon lights

- Teams
- Quality at the Source
- Pull/Kanban
- Cellular/Flow
- Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
80Lean Workforce Practices
- Teams
- With rotation of highly specified jobs
- Cross-trained and multi-skilled employees
- Who can work many operations within a cell and
operations in different cells - Continuous improvement philosophy
- Process quality, not inspection
- Use of participatory decision-making
- Quality Control Circles, team-based problem
solving, suggestion systems, etc.
81Quality at the Source
- Source Inspection Operators must be certain
that the product they are passing to the next
workstation is of acceptable quality. - Operators must be given the means to perform
inspection at the source, before they pass it
along. - Samples or established standards are visible
tools that can be used in the cell for such
purposes. - Process documentation defining quality inspection
requirements for each workstation may need to be
developed.
82Poka Yoke
- What is Poka-yoke?
- A method that uses sensor or other devices for
catching errors that may pass by operators or
assemblers. - Poka-yoke effects two key elements of Zero
Defects Quality - Identifying the defect immediately ( Point of
Origin Inspection) - Quick Feedback for Corrective Action
- Poka-yoke detects an error, gives a warning, and
can shuts down process.
83Push vs. Pull Systems
- Push System
- Resources are provided to the consumer based on
forecasts or schedules. - Pull System
- A method of controlling the flow of resources by
replacing only what has been consumed.
84Pull System
- Pull System is a flexible and simple method of
controlling/balancing the flow of resources. - Eliminates waste of handling, storage,
expediting, obsolescence, repair, rework,
facilities, equipment, excess inventory
(work-in-process and finished) - Pull System consists of
- Production based on actual consumption
- Small lots
- Low inventories
- Management by sight
- Better communication

100Continuous Improvement (CI)
Old Adage If you always do what you always
did, youll always get what you always
got. Competitive Corollary If the other guy
gets BETTER, youre gonna get LESS.
101Lean Building Blocks
Continuous Improvement
102Barriers to Improvement
If we all know we need to improve, the question
becomes why dont we?
103Keys to Success
- Prepare and motivate people
- Widespread orientation to CI, quality, training
and recruiting workers with appropriate skills - Create common understanding of need to change to
Lean - Employee involvement
- Push decision-making and system development down
to the lowest levels - Trained and truly empowered people
- Share information and manage expectations
- Identify and empower champions, particularly
operations managers - Remove roadblocks (i.e., people, layout, systems)
- Make system both directive yet empowering
104Keys to Success (Continued)
- Atmosphere of experimentation
- Tolerating mistakes, patience, etc.
- Willingness to take risks (safety nets)
- Installing enlightened and realistic
performance measures, evaluation, and reward
systems - Do away with rigid performance goals during
implementation - Measure results and not number activities/events
- Tie improvements (long-term) to key macro level
performance targets (i.e., inventory turns,
quality, delivery, overall cost reductions) - The need to execute pilot projects prior to
rolling culture out across organization is also
essential (e.g., model lines, kaizen blitzes) - After early wins in operations, extend across
ENTIRE organization
105Implementation Success Factors
- Unyielding leadership
- Strategic vision based on Lean enterprise as part
of company strategy - Observe outside successes and failures
- Ability to question EVERYTHING
- Deep commitment to EXCELLENCE

107Typical Objections
- How should you deal with these objections to
Lean? - 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 doesnt make sense in my industry.
- Its unclear to me how Lean will work with my
MRP system.
108Getting Started
Value Stream Mapping
- A simple, visual approach to
- Focusing on a product family
- Creating a clear picture of current material and
information flow associated with that product
family - Identifying Lean tools and techniques that can
improve flow and eliminate waste - Incorporating those ideas in a new picture of how
material and information should flow for that
product group - Creating an action plan that makes the new
picture a reality for that product family
