Quick Changeover Traditional setup and large batches Setup Run Quick change and small batches Externalized & Streamlined Tasks
Why Reduce Set-ups? Remember:  nothing is being produced! So, set-up time is   Non Value Added Setups need to be  eliminated, integrated, or simplified

Editor's Notes

  1. Describe… This represents a 20% ratio, nationally, the ratio is commonly 5-10 % depending upon which industry we’re analyzing. Next, let’s look at the Wastes that are clogging the arteries of the factory operations

  3. Overproduce—Slow down the machine, off the shelf (got to stock the shelf) Waiting—downtime, balance, changeover, Transport—physical relocation eliminates most if not all.
  4. Now, Push is the alternative, but since we have that now, let’s discuss PULL PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
  5. Overproduce—Slow down the machine, off the shelf (got to stock the shelf) Waiting—downtime, balance, changeover, Transport—physical relocation eliminates most if not all.
  6. Slide - PUSH VS. PULL A concept or topic that is always mentioned as part of Lean or associated with Lean, is this idea of a Pull System. So now I’d like to talk a little about what we mean by a pull system versus a push system. I have a few slides to go over this push versus pull idea; however, I feel that this title page kind of explains it all. In push production you make large batches and push them through the place to the next process. In pull production, you pull a controlled amount of WIP through the process. The operations are physically linked. ASK: Can anyone here relate to this fellow here? (Reference the PUSH view)
  7. Looks pretty well organized until we introduce the product into the mix…. CLK Now it looks about right— What do you see now that wasn’t apparent at first????
  8. Okay, here's the equipment layout that a Cell Design Kaizen Team. A U-shaped flow cycles from the Raw Material (RM) through the 8 Work-stations to the Finished Goods (FG). The cell works in a counter-clockwise U-shaped flow The next step is to populate the cell with raw materials, components, drums of coolant & cleaners. All in labeled containers. Now, we need access aisles all around the cell for material replenishment, equipment servicing and quicker changeovers. Main aisles on both ends of the cell allow for material flow and personnel flow between cells. We've right-sized the material containers, so we eventually run out of raw materials and the green diamond represents a Kanban Post that will play a vital role in material replenishment Now, the blue bin runs empty--no more parts--what happens next???? This rack on the backside of the cell contains a second set of components in a second set of labeled and right-sized containers. So the operator simply walks the side-aisle to the rack, picks up a new container of parts and puts it in the work-station But how do we get it replenished again?? Put the empty labeled bin on the Kanban Post and the Material Clerk who circulates throughout the shop will take the empty back and refill it before the backup container can be emptied....
