Study Notes
Overproduction
- Producing more than the next step needs or more than the customer buys
- Contributes to all other forms of waste
- Examples include:
- Preparing extra reports that are not needed
- Having multiple copies of data in storage
- Over-ordering materials
- Duplication of effort/reports
Waste of Overproduction
- Relates to the excessive accumulation of work-in-process (WIP) or finished goods inventory
- Examples include:
- Transactions not processed
- Bigger "in box" than "out box"
- Over-ordering materials consumed in-house
- Over-ordering raw materials just in case
Waste of Inventory
- Identical to overproduction except that it refers to the waste of acquiring raw material before it is needed
Introduction to Lean Six Sigma
- Focuses on process-centric performance improvement
- Uses methodologies of Six Sigma, Lean, and Process Management
- Aims to provide a well-rounded understanding of various tools and techniques
Elements of Waste in Kaizen
- Kaizen aims to eliminate waste called "Muda"
- 3 MUs of Kaizen:
- Muda (waste)
- Mura (inconsistency)
- Muri (strain on people and machines)
Seven Components of Waste
- Muda is classified into seven components:
- Transportation (Conveyance)
- Inventory
- Motion
- Waiting
- Overprocessing
- Overproduction
- Defects (Correction)
- Additional forms of Muda:
- Skills (Under use of talent)
- Lack of safety
Transportation
- Unnecessary movement of material and goods
- Steps in a process should be located close to each other to minimize movement
