Chapter 14: Learning Objectives
14-3
Lean operationA flexible system of operation that uses
considerably less resources than a traditional systemTend to achieve
Greater productivityLower costsShorter cycle timesHigher quality
Just-in-TimeA highly coordinated processing system in
which goods move through the system, and services are performed, just as they are needed
Lean Operations
LO 14.1
14-4
A number of characteristics are commonly found in lean systems:Waste reductionContinuous improvementUse of teamsWork cellsVisual controlsHigh qualityMinimal inventoryOutput only to match demandQuick changeoversSmall lot sizesLean culture
Lean System Characteristics
LO 14.2
14-5
Five principles embody the way lean systems function:1. Identify customer values2. Focus on processes that create value3. Eliminate waste to create “flow”4. Produce only according to customer demand5. Strive for perfection
Lean System Principles
LO 14.3
14-6
Key BenefitsReduced wasteLower costsIncreased qualityReduced cycle timeIncreased flexibilityIncreased productivity
Critical RisksIncreased stress on workersFewer resources available if problems occurSupply chain disruptions can halt operations
Benefits & Risks of Lean Systems
LO 14.4
14-7
Lean operations began as lean manufacturing, also known as JIT in the mid-1900s
Developed by Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Ohno of Toyota Focus was on eliminating all waste from every aspect of
the processWaste is viewed as anything that interferes with, or
does not add value to, the process of producing automobiles
Lean Operations: The Beginning
LO 14.5
14-8
Lean: Supporting GoalsThe degree to which lean’s ultimate goal is
achieved depends upon how well its supporting goals are achieved:1. Eliminate disruptions2. Make the system flexible3. Eliminate waste, especially excess inventory
LO 14.6
14-9
WasteRepresents unproductive resourcesEight sources of waste in lean systems:
1. Excess inventory2. Overproduction3. Waiting time4. Unnecessary transporting5. Processing waste6. Inefficient work methods7. Product defects8. Underused people
Waste
LO 14.7
14-10
Four elements of product design important for lean systems:1. Standard parts2. Modular design3. Highly capable systems with quality built in4. Concurrent engineering
Building Blocks: Product Design
LO 14.8
14-11
Building Blocks: Personnel/OrganizationalFive personnel/organizational elements
that are important for lean systems:Workers as assetsCross-trained workersContinuous improvementCost accountingLeadership/project management
LO 14.8
14-12
Seven elements of manufacturing planning and control (MPC) are particularly important for lean system:1. Level loading2. Pull systems3. Visual systems4. Limited work-in-process (WIP)5. Close vendor relationships6. Reduced transaction processing7. Preventive maintenance and housekeeping
Building Blocks: MPC
LO 14.8
14-13
Value stream mappingA visual tool to systematically examine the
flows of materials and informationIts purpose is to help identify waste and
opportunities for improvementData collected:
TimesDistances traveledMistakesInefficient work methodsWaiting timesInformation flows
Lean Tools: Value Stream Mapping
LO 14.9
14-14
1. Make sure top management is committed and that they know what will be required
2. Decide which parts will need the most effort to convert
3. Obtain support and cooperation of workers
4. Begin by trying to reduce setup times while maintaining the current system
5. Gradually convert operations, begin at the end and work backwards
6. Convert suppliers to JIT
7. Prepare for obstacles
Transitioning to Lean Systems
LO 14.10
14-15
1. Management may not be fully committed or willing to devote the necessary resources to conversion
2. Workers/management may not be cooperative
3. It can be difficult to change the organizational culture to one consistent with the lean philosophy
4. Suppliers may resist
Obstacles to Conversion
