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.
