House of Lean
- A visual representation of lean enterprise components
- Highlights key lean concepts and tools
- Depicts the flow of work with value stream mapping, standardized work, and 5S
- Shows how the concepts integrate to create a holistic approach
Lean Tools: Kaizen
- Small, continuous improvements ("kai" = little, "zen" = better)
- Focus on improving processes continuously
- World-class manufacturing outcomes
- Six-step cycle includes:
- Identifying problems
- Analyzing current processes
- Testing solutions
- Creating solutions
- Standardizing the solution
- Documenting standard work flows
Lean Tools: Poka-yoke
- Mistake-proofing strategies
- Eliminates human error by preventing defects
- Defects never get to customers
- Visual aids and methods are used to prevent mistakes.
Lean Tools: SMED
- Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED)
- Aims to reduce setup times to minutes
- Enables high-frequency changeovers
- Continuous improvement, team-based processes
- Keep reducing changeover time and cost for smaller batches
Lean Tools: Process Chart
- Documents work steps visually
- Used for process improvement within teams
- Captures process data, such as time taken and distances
Lean Tools: Visual Workplace
- Fundamental element in Lean
- Systems to share information at-a-glance, eliminating the need for verbal communication
- Important for ease of access, quick understanding, feedback
Lean Tools: Kanban
- Japanese word meaning "card" or "sign"
- A pull system for visual process & project management
- Manufacturing engineers at Toyota were behind its development over 60 years ago
- Kanban visualizes and manages flow and communication
What Kanban Does
- Main components include:
- Defining what to pull
- Deciding when to pull items
- Determining how much to pull
- Specifying where to pull items from/to
A Typical Kanban Card
- Includes information such as:
- Supplier name and stocking location
- Part information (ID, quantity)
- Customer information (storage location, group location)
- Kanban number
The Single-Card Kanban System
- A flow diagram of the receiving post, fabrication cell, and storage area for both Kanban products.
Lean Tools: Standardized Work
- Refers to standardizing best work practices
- Makes work safe and repeatable, with limited variation for high productivity
- It is the optimal combination of employees, equipment, materials, and procedures
Simple Calculations and Terms about Lean Times (Value Stream Mapping Metrics)
- Cycle Time: Time to complete a single unit
- Takt Time: Time between completing one unit and beginning the next
- Lead Time: Covers the entire order fulfillment process, from placement to delivery
- Throughput Time: Time for goods to go through the production process
Lead Time vs Cycle Time
- Lead time considers all steps, including those outside of internal production
- Cycle time is the elapsed time for the internal steps
Takt Time, Cycle Time, and Lead Time
- Calculation example and figures are included in the text
