4. 4
What is Lean ?
Lean is achieving “More with LESS”.
It means
achieving more with given resources or
achieving more with less resources .
Mainly it is elimination or reduction of waste in the entire value chain .
5. 5
What is Lean Manufacturing ?
Lean manufacturing system can be understood by relating to the human body. If
the person appears “lean”, then general assumption is that he/she is free from
unnecessary FAT in the body, hence free from unnecessary side effects like BP,
Pain in joints, laziness etc. And the person is perceived as healthy, more flexible,
active etc..
The same way ,Lean manufacturing means , manufacturing system is free from
unnecessary fats like high inventory, high rejection, high breakdowns or line
stoppages factors etc which leads to more flexible in delivery, less lead time,first
time right , low cost of manufacturing and free flow of communication etc .
6. 6
What is Lean System Thinking ?
Similarly, Lean System or Lean Organization means free from unnecessary
waste in the entire value chain starting from extended supply chain system
to customer, even after sales service system .
Lean system Thinking is more than application of Tools and Techniques.
It is a culture of continuous improvement or a way of working or winning
mindset of everyone working for the organization.
8. 8
Misconception about Lean?
There are some misunderstandings about lean and its application .Some of the
misconception about lean are
•Lean means cost cutting
No. Cost cutting means cutting down the expenses whether it is essentially required or
not .Lean is focusing more on cutting down the waste or unnecessary expenses, which
is not adding value to customer ,inturn to business.
•Lean is for manpower productivity
Partially true. Lean is focusing on waste elimination or reduction in any form like man,
machine, material, and method. By eliminating or reducing wasteful activities in
format, manpower, material, machine, or process efficiency is improved. Hence, it is
not only on manpower productivity alone.but for all factors of manufacturing.
•Lean is applicable for manufacturing organization only
No. As said, lean is all about waste elimination. As long as activities are there in any
organization, waste will be present .Wherever waste is there, Lean is applicable. It is
not only applicable for manufacturing.
9. 9
•Lean can be implemented only in large organization
No. One of the assumptions is that implementing lean requires investment and only
large organization can afford .Actually, understanding the lean concept, tools, and
techniques is easy and does not require investment. Lean thinking and practices can
be implemented in any size of the organization. In fact, Lean can be easily
implementable in small and medium scale organization because of its size and
activities involved.
•Lean is all about 5S and Visual Boards
No. Most of the people think that doing Housekeeping (5S) and putting display
boards is lean manufacturing. Ofcourse fundamental requirement for waste
elimination is housekeeping , ie keeping the workplace in order ,but that alone is
not constituting Lean system. Lean is beyond implementing housekeeping practices.
Similarly visual management is one of the elements of lean system in which display
and control boards are part of it. Hence, Lean is beyond 5S and visual boards or
even it is beyond any lean tools and techniques. It is philosophy and way of
conducting daily management.
10. 10
•Lean is for during lean seasons
One of the most misconception is that lean implementation is for not peak season
as everyone is busy with activities and lean is for during lean season. Lean is
nothing do with the busyness of people either peak or lean period. Lean is for
waste elimination or reduction. In fact, implementing and practicing lean concepts
during peak period may give more savings.
•Lean can be useful during recession
Same as above assumption. There is no right time as recession or booming
economic environment. In fact, if Lean is understood well and lean thinking is
implemented internally, external factors will not affect the organization much.
11. 11
•Lean is only for automobile and ancillary organizations
No. As said, Lean is not specific to any industries. Wherever there are activities
involved, Lean can be implementable. Why it is popular in auto and ancillary
industries, because the lean concept was evolved and tested first in auto industries.
•Lean implementation is time bound
No. No organization can claim that they implemented lean system thinking
,because fundamental of lean is zero waste, zero accident , zero defects and it is
impossible to achieve and thus it calls for continuous improvement or excellence
journey .Lean implementation is a process or journey .. It is not a destination.

throughout value chain at constant rate
rather than in batches
Synchronized production .no delay or temporary
storage results in other side effects
Quick Changeover Uses work simplification of each setup
process and reduce waste and time. Also
makes the changeover process as more
predictable
To reduce changeover time and then encourage low
batch production. Also improves the availability time
of equipment or facility
Mistake Proofing Uses wide variety of technique to prevent
mistake in process
To avoid rejections or rework and also enhances the
availability
TPM Uses predictive and preventive maintenance
technique with problem solving approach
To increase availability , process capability of facility

OEE provides simple, consistent, and proven way of measuring the
effectiveness of any productivity initiatives or lean manufacturing
programmes or TPM programmes
55. 55
What is OEE?
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the best METRIC used for monitoring
and improving the Efficiency of manufacturing processes.
The manufacturing processes can be machining, fabrication, assembly line etc
OEE is a simple, holistic, and powerful metric.
OEE takes into account the typical sources of manufacturing productivity losses and
groups them in THREE categories like AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE, and QUALITY.
By grouping so in different categories, it distills the complex manufacturing losses into
simple metrics .It helps us to understand the losses with clarity and helps to choose
the right lean tool for each loss. In addition, it helps us to verify the effectiveness of
action against each manufacturing productivity losses
56. 56
Elements of OEE :
Availability:
It measures manufacturing productivity losses from down time .i.e. the events that
stops planned production like machine breakdown, changeover, material not
available, operator not available etc.
Performance:
It measures manufacturing productivity losses from slow cycles .i.e. the factors that
cause the process to operate at less than the standard or possible speed.
Quality:
It measures manufacturing productivity loss from manufactured parts do not meet the
specification or quality requirements.
Together all three measure like Availability, Performance and Quality combine into
one FACTOR as OEE Score .This one complete measure OEE reflects the
manufacturing efficiency and effectiveness.
57. 57
World class OEE for discrete manufacturing process
Generally, world class OEE for discrete manufacturing process is considered 85 % or
greater than 85 %
It is arrived from Availability (90 %) * Performance (95%) * Quality (100 %) = 85 %
Generally, from the study, it is indicated that average OEE score for discrete
manufacturing process is around 60 %.If we aim for excellent OEE standard of 85 %,
then we can realize that there is so much opportunity to move from 60 % to 85 %
through loss elimination or reduction initiatives.
58. 58
Calculating OEE
OEE is calculated from three categories like availability, performance, and quality
OEE = Availability * Performance * Quality
Pl note that OEE is not calculated as addition or average of three categories, it is
calculated by multiflying three categories
For example
Availability = 75 %
Performance =90 %
Quality = 89 %,
Then
OEE= 75 % * 89 % * 90%
= 60 %
59. 59
Availability:
Availability is the ratio of actual operating time to planned operating time ….
It measures the downtime loss
Availability = Operating Time / Planned Operating Time
Operating time = planned operating time – downtime loss
For example
Availability =Operating Time (300 min) / Planned Operating Time (400 min)
=75 %
Planned Operating time:
Available time per shift – planned shutdown time
Available time per shift
Say 8 hrs i.e. 8 * 60 = 480 min
60. 60
Planned shutdown time
It is planned shutdown for valid reasons like morning meetings, lunch break; refresh
break, scheduled maintenance check etc
For example ,
Morning meeting – 10 min ; Lunch break – 30 min ;Refresh break – 20 min
Scheduled maintenance check – 10 min
Hence planned shutdown time = 10 + 30+20+ 10 =70 min
Hence, planned operating time is 480 -70 = 410 min
Actual Operating Time
Planned operating time – down time
=410 – 110
=300 min
61. 61
Break up of down time (110 min ) can be
Machine breakdown -20 min
Operator not available – 30 min
Material not available – 10 min
Changeover loss – 50 min
Hence,
Availability = actual operating time / planned operating time
=300/ 410
= 73 %
Performance:
Performance is the ratio of actual qty produced during operating time / standard qty
can be produced during operating time.
From above example,
Actual operating time = 300 min
62. 62
Say std time per piece = 3 min
So standard qty can be produced during operating time = 300/3 =100 pieces
Suppose, in a given operating time, actual qty produced is 270 pieces, then
Performance = 270 / 300
=90 %
Quality:
Quality is the ratio of good qty produced to total qty produced.
For example,
Total qty produced = 270 pieces
Good qty = 240 pieces
Quality = 240 / 270
=89 %
63. 63
Important Steps in OEE Improvement Process
•Identify the facility or equipment or line to be measured
•Understand the current OEE level
•Collect shift wise/ day wise data for specified period
•Identify the loss pattern
•Classify the losses in each category
•Prioritize the losses
•Choose the right lean tool for elimination or reduction of losses
•Implement the solution
•Monitor the OEE trend and loss
