    Study Notes

    Lean Management Tools and Concepts

    • Obeya: A visual management tool used to facilitate communication and collaboration among team members, typically a room or area where teams can meet and discuss projects.
    • A3: A problem-solving approach that uses a single sheet of A3-sized paper to define, analyze, and solve problems.
    • 6 Sigma: A methodology for quality management that aims to reduce defects and variations in processes, focusing on achieving near-perfect quality (3.4 defects per million opportunities).

    Quality and Problem-Solving Methodologies

    • 8D: A problem-solving approach that follows eight disciplines: Establish the team, Describe the problem, Contain the problem, Identify and verify the root cause, Identify and verify the corrective actions, Implement and validate the corrective actions, Implement and monitor the preventive actions, and Close the problem.
    • Demaic: A problem-solving approach that consists of five stages: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
    • PDCA: A continuous improvement cycle that stands for Plan, Do, Check, Act, used to solve problems and improve processes.

    Lean Principles and Concepts

    • 5S: A methodology for organizing and standardizing workplaces, consisting of five S's: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
    • 5W: A process for identifying and understanding the root cause of a problem by asking five questions: Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
    • Visuelle Management: A visual management approach that uses visual aids to communicate and manage information.
    • Hoshin Kanri: A strategic planning approach that aligns goals and objectives with the organization's overall vision and mission.

    Continuous Improvement and Quality Control

    • Kaizen: A philosophy of continuous improvement that aims to improve processes and products through small, incremental changes.
    • Poka Yoke: A mistake-proofing approach that prevents errors from occurring in the first place.
    • Gemba: A Japanese term that refers to the "real place" where work is done, emphasizing the importance of observing and improving processes at the source.
    • Jidoka: A principle of quality control that aims to detect and respond to defects as soon as possible.
    • SMED: A methodology for reducing changeover times in manufacturing processes.
    • JIT: A production strategy that aims to produce and deliver products just in time to meet customer demand.

    Lean Management Tools and Principles

    • Obeya: A Japanese term for "big room" or "war room," referring to a collaborative space where teams work together to identify and solve problems.

    Lean Methodologies

    • A3: A problem-solving approach that uses a single sheet of A3-sized paper to document and analyze problems, identify root causes, and implement solutions.
    • 6 Sigma: A methodology that aims to reduce defects and variations in processes, with a goal of near-perfect quality (99.9997% defect-free).
    • 8D: A problem-solving methodology that consists of 8 disciplines: establish the team, describe the problem, contain the problem, identify the root cause, verify the root cause, choose a solution, implement and validate the solution, and implement and monitor the solution.

    Lean Improvement Cycles

    • DEMATIC: A structured approach to continuous improvement, consisting of Define, Evaluate, Map, Analyze, Improve, and Control.
    • PDCA: A cyclical approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement, consisting of Plan, Do, Check, and Act.

    Lean Principles

    • 5S: A principle for organizing and maintaining a productive work environment, consisting of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
    • 5W: A principle for asking questions to identify and solve problems, consisting of Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
    • Visual Management: A principle for using visual indicators to manage and control processes, making it easy to identify and correct problems.
    • Hoshin Kanri: A strategic planning and implementation approach that aligns organizational goals and objectives with action plans.

    Lean Tools and Concepts

    • Kaizen: A philosophy of continuous improvement, encouraging small, incremental changes to achieve significant improvements.
    • Poka Yoke: A principle for designing and implementing mistake-proofing or error-proofing mechanisms to prevent defects.
    • Gemba: A Japanese term for "the real place" or "the shop floor," referring to the area where value-added work takes place.
    • Jidoka: A principle for building quality into processes, allowing machines or workers to detect and respond to abnormalities.
    • SMED: A principle for reducing setup and changeover times, allowing for more efficient and flexible production.
    • JIT: A principle for producing and delivering products just in time, eliminating unnecessary inventory and waste.
