Study Notes

Lean Production

  • Lean production optimizes processes to reduce waste and improve efficiency.
  • Seven types of waste are identified: overproduction, waiting, transportation, unnecessary inventory, motion, over-processing and defects.
  • Lean production leads to reduced storage, faster production, fewer repairs, improved equipment utilization, faster processes, lower inventory costs and enhanced worker safety.

Lean Production Concepts

  • Kaizen involves continuous improvement through team discussion to eliminate waste. It focuses on ideas rather than technology.
  • Just-in-Time production minimizes or eliminates inventory by producing items only when needed.
  • Cell Production breaks down production lines into sections for specific items, unlike a linear and continuous process.
