5. What is Lean? Elimination of waste Toyota Production System (TPS) Philosophy Produce only what is needed, when it is needed, with no waste Methodology Determination of value added in the process Tools Five Ss, Kaizen event, standardised work, etc 5

21. 5 S Seiri (Sort)—Separate necessary from unnecessary items, including tools, parts, materials, and paperwork, and remove the unnecessary items Seiton (Straighten)—Arrange the necessary items neatly, providing visual cues to where items should be placed Seiso (Sweep)—Clean the work area Seiketsu (Standardise)—Standardise the first three Ss so that cleanliness is maintained Shitsuke (Sustain)—Ensure that the first four Ss continue to be performed on a regular basis 8
23. Common Causes of Waste Long setup time Lack of training Layout (distance) Poor maintenance Poor work methods Incapable processes Inconsistent performance measures Ineffective production planning Lack of workplace organisation Poor supply quality / reliability 10
24. Jidoka and Andon Jidoka is the ability for machines to be self-dependent and error proof without any human interaction Prevents defects from passing from one step in the system to the next Enables swift detection and correction of errors Andon is a visual or audible signaling device used to indicate there is a problem in the process 11
25. Poka-Yoke (Mistake-Proofing An approach for mistake-proofing processes using automatic devices or methods to avoid simple human or machine error, such as forgetfulness, misunderstanding, errors in identification, lack of experience, absentmindedness, delays, or malfunctions 12
26. Single Minute Exchange of Die(SMED) Used to reduce changeover or setup time, which is the time needed between the completion of one procedure and the start of the next procedure Steps Separate internal activities from external activities Convert internal setup activities to external activities Streamline all setup activities 13
27. Standardised Work Written documentation of the way in which each step in a process should be performed Not a rigid system of compliance, but a means of communicating and codifying current best practices 14
28. Takt Time The speed with which customers must be served to satisfy demand for the service Cycle time is the time to accomplish a task in the system System cycle time is equal to the longest task cycle time in the system—the rate at which customers or products exit the system, or “drip time” 15
29. Takt Time - Calculation TAKT time is how many minutes or seconds are needed to make one part when considering the daily volumes, to be produced in that work-cell and the total time available to perform the job TAKT time is NOT the time it takes to manufacture the product. It is based on customer demand Who is the customer The next operation Customer orders 16
30. TAKT Time Net Available Operating Time (NAOT) • Time per shift - 480 minutes • Breaks (2 @ 10´) - 20 minutes • Clean-up - 20 minutes • Lunch - 30 minutes • NAOT per shift - 410 minutes Customer Requirements • Monthly - 26,000 units/month • No. Working Days - 20 days/month • CR/Day - 1,300 units/day TAKT Time • 410 x 60 x 3 shifts (73,800) divided by 1,300 • 57.769 seconds per part or 57 seconds 17
31. Throughput Time Time for an item to complete the entire process, which includes: Queue time Waiting time Transport time Actual processing time 18
33. Value Stream Mapping Process map of the value stream Includes information & transformational processing Value-added steps: “Would the customer be willing to pay for this activity?” Non-value-added steps Necessary (required for business operation) Unnecessary 20
34. 21 Kaizen Blitz Determine and define the objectives Determine the current state of the process Determine the requirements of the process Create an implementation plan Continue the cycle Implement the improvements Check the effectiveness of the improvements Document and standardise the improved process

36. Total Preventative Maintenance Idle workers use their time more effectively and maintain workstations to help in the prevention of various problems that would halt production Advantages of flexible workers: - Quality inspections - Operation of several machines
37. Cellular Manufacturing Work cells are central to the idea of one piece flow Ideally these work cells focus on a low range of similar products Product continually moves around the cell to each operation until complete at the end of the “U” – this optimises flow from one station to the next
38. Heijunka Heijunka —“make flat and level”; eliminate variation in volume and variety of “production” Level customer demand 25
40. Voice of Customer (VOC) - Key Factors Customer Feedback Kaizen Process Understand Customer Experience Customer Data Analysis Customer Data Collection
41. 28 Brainstorming – Ideas for Improvement Too many emergencies (“rush” projects) Lack of Communication Timeliness (Process takes too long) Lack of Streamlined process Unrealistic job expectations Brainstorm Process not followed or forms incomplete / inadequate / incorrect Mentoring / coaching / training needed Too Many Steps in Process One size does not fit all Need to educate the customer Lack of prioritisation
