6. 6 Lean Thinking The core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. »Lean Enterprise Institute, –Guiding Principles Purpose Process People Source: http://www.lean.org/WhatsLean/Principles.cfm

8. 8 Lean Thinking - JIT Lean Thinking – JIT (Just-in-Time) –Response to variation –In Supply chains – parts are available: –at the time they are needed –in the right quantity –in the right condition. –In service systems – service providers are available: –At the time they are needed –Without undue delay (queuing) –With the right skills In response to a demand signal ( 看板 Kanban ) In response to demand

9. 9 Lean Thinking - Jidoka Jidoka (Autonomation) –Automation with a human touch 4 Steps –Detect the abnormality (problem visibility) –Stop (learn how to wait). –Fix or correct the immediate condition. –Investigate the root cause and install a countermeasure.

10. 10 Value It must transform the product or service. The customer must be willing to “pay” for it. It must be done correctly the first time. Waste Mura or waste due to variation Muri or waste due to overburdening or stressing the people, equipment or system Muda also known as the “seven forms of waste” Source: http://www.lean.org/Coomon/lexiconterm.aspx

11. 11 Overburdening (Muri) Theory of Constraints 4 Focusing steps 1.Identify the constraint usually a bottleneck 2.Exploit the constraint run the constrained step efficiently 3.Subordinate all other processes to above Re-balance the work 4.Elevate the constraint system / capacity changes

12. 12 Variation / Unevenness (Mura) 1.Understanding Variation 2. Planning for Variation

13. 13 Six Sigma and Variation Six Sigma – Improves results by finding and eliminating sources of defects and reducing variation Variation –“If I could reduce my message to management to just a few words, I’d say it all has to do with reducing variation.” Attributed to W Edwards Deming

25. 25 Creating the Future State 8 Future State Questions 1.What is the takt time? 2.Will you build to a finished goods supermarket or directly to shipping? 3.Where can you use continuous flow? 4.Where will you use pull systems? 5.What single point will be the pacemaker where you will schedule work? 6.How will you level production mix at the pacemaker? 7.What increment of work will you release? 8.What improvements will be necessary?

26. 26 Future State Map Step 1, Mark your future state ideas on your current state map 2. Build to shipping 3. Flow 4. Supermarket to exam room supplies 5. Pacemaker 6. Mix 7. Ptich 1. Takt = 9 Minutes

33. 33 Lean and Learning “Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity. People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think’” - Taiichi Ohno - 10. Rother
