The “4P Model” of the Toyota Way Problem Solving (Continuous Improvement & Learning) People & Partners (Respect, Challenge, & Growth) Process (Eliminate Waste) Philosophy (Long-Term Thinking) “The Toyota Production System [TPS] is the basis for much of the ‘lean production’ movement that has dominated manufacturing trends for the last 10 years or so.” Jeffrey Liker The Toyota Way Our Focus
Toyota Flow Model There is nothing illegal, immoral, or fattening with this approach, but many (most) companies can’t afford, or simply can’t follow, this approach to creating “linearity” with very large finished goods inventory. For Toyota, as we all know, it has worked very very well! Linearity Push “. . . many businesses in America are rushing to a build-to-order model of production. They want to make just what the customers want when they want it -- the ultimate lean solution. Unfortunately, customers are not predictable and actual orders vary significantly from week to week and month to month.” Jeffrey Liker The Toyota Way Suppliers Plant Dealers Toyota Assembly Customers Demand Pull Schedule (to dealer orders/ forecast) FG Inv. Buffer Variable Demand

Master Schedule definition . . . “The tool that balances demand and supply at the product level, as opposed to Executive S&OP which balances demand and supply at the aggregated Product Family level. It is the source of customer order promising, via its Available-to-Promise capability, and contains the anticipated build schedule for the plant(s) in the form of the Master Production Schedule.”
An Inconvenient Truth . . . (with apologies to Al Gore) “In general, when you try to apply the Toyota Production System [TPS], the first thing you have to do is to even out or level the production. Leveling the production schedule may require some front-loading of shipments [push to dealers] or postponing [delaying] of shipments and you may have to ask some customers [dealers] to wait for a short period of time. Once the production level is more or less the same or constant for a month, you will be able to apply pull systems and balance the assembly line. But if production levels – the output – vary from day to day, there is no sense in trying to apply those other [pull] systems, because you simply cannot establish standardized work under such circumstances.” Fugio Cho Toyota President

Lean & Executive S&OP Do Different (Necessary) Things Lean Manufacturing Lean is a basic approach to manufacturing that emphasizes/focuses on flow. It also has a focus on eliminating waste from processes Strong on execution Short future horizon Drives improvements to the operating environment Flow works best with stable and linear demand Executive S&OP Tools for forward decision-making Strong on planning Long future horizon Balances demand and supply across the supply chain Executive Forum for establishing relevant strategy, policy, and risk Can be used in many different environments In a broad sense, they both get at culture! They work best when they work together! Mention elevator speech

Why This Works? Toyota’s high quality and market acceptance allows limited variety With a limited number of end items: Schedule by end item Don’t configure (finish) to order Alignment of markets and resources
Product Environment Levels # of Parts In this ‘shape’ a few end items are made from many parts, materials, and components. An example would be an equipment manufacturer such as automobiles, lawn mowers, capital equipment, etc. This shape lends itself to making to stock.

Takt Time . . . . . . Takt can be used to set the pace of production. “Takt is a German word for rhythm or meter. Takt is the rate of customer demand -- the rate at which the customer is buying product. . . . Takt can be used to set the pace of production. Continuous flow and takt time are most easily applied in repetitive manufacturing . . .” Jeffrey Liker The Toyota Way
Takt time . . . Demand rate? or Production Rate?

The Family Feud . . . S&OP Families -- In Executive S&OP, Families are aggregate groups of products that are similar in the way that customers and/or markets view their use. Executive S&OP Families are used to develop a reasoned and reasonable forecast based on market trends, grounded in intrinsic and extrinsic leading indicators. Lean Families -- In Lean Manufacturing, the term Families is used to mean the grouping of products that are manufactured by the same resources. This is often called a ‘value stream.’ The idea is to create a ‘synchronous flow’ in manufacturing that allows products to be produced at a uniform and linear market driven rate – known as Takt Time.
Conclusion . . . Executive S&OP families should be market determined Lean families should be manufacturing (process) determined They are different because they serve different purposes

Determining Lean product families Create a Product Family Matrix: Separate processes based on capability (ex. “The machines are the same, but Part ‘A’ can only be produced on this one.”) Look at the ‘Downstream’ processing steps Approximately 80% of the similar processing steps Custom products look ‘Upstream’ at the fabrication steps Fill in Product Family Matrix with ‘X’

Primer on Takt Time . . . Sets the “Beat” in the form of pitch for production. Determines how many people work in assembly jobs. Provides “the bar” for operator balance charts for line balancing. For all of these, takt would be better represented by the production rate from S&OP.
Demand versus Production Rate? Current Lean definition has Takt time as effective working time divided by demand rate In most circumstances, we would be better off making it effective working time divided by Production rate (from S&OP plan)
People vs. Takt Time B A C B A Balanced Line Balanced Line 6 5 min 5 4 5 min 3 5 min 2 5 min 1 5 min In Time = 480 min Units = 16 Takt = 30 min Operators = 2 B A 7 5 min 8 5 min 9 5 min 10 5 min 11 5 min 12 5 min Out Lead time = 60 min Balanced Line 6 5 min 5 5 min 4 5 min 3 5 min 2 5 min 1 5 min In Time = 480 min Units = 24 Takt = 20 min Operators = 3 C B A 7 5 min 8 5 min 9 5 min 10 5 min 11 5 min 12 5 min Out Lead time = 60 min 69

Market Demands In this ‘shape’ many end items are made out of a few sub assemblies or intermediates that are made out of many unique raw materials and parts. An example of this would be a pharmaceutical manufacturer with many package types from standard product (aspirin), personal computers, packaged chemicals This shape lends itself to a postponement strategy.
