Learning Objective 8-1

Seven Basic Types of Waste

• Overproduction: processing more units than needed

• Waiting: resources wasted waiting for work • Transportation: units being unnecessarily moved • Processing: excessive or unnecessary operations • Inventory: units waiting to be processes or

delivered • Motion: unnecessary or excessive resource

activity • Product defects: waste due to unnecessary

scrap, rework, or correction

Learning Objective 8-1

Lean Principles

Principle 1: Precisely specify value for each specific product

Principle 2: Identify the value stream for each product

Principle 3: Make value flow without interruptions

Principle 4: Let the customer pull value from the producer

Principle 5: Pursue perfection

Learning Objective 8-1

Principle 1: Specify Value

• Customers determine value

• Suppliers must provide products/services that customers desire

– Outcomes

– Product features

– Functionality

– Capabilities

Anything that doesn’t add value is waste!

written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.8-11

Learning Objective 8-1

Principle 2: Identify Value Stream

A firm must link together activities of product development. Identify value-adding and non–value-adding steps, categorizing waste into these seven categories:

1. Overproduction: processing more than needed

2. Waiting: resources waiting for work/materials

3. Transportation: units moved unnecessarily

4. Processing: excessive or unnecessary steps

5. Inventory: units waiting for processing or delivery

6. Motion: unnecessary or excessive resource activity

7. Defects: scrap, rework, or correction

Principle 3: Make Value Flow

Inventory hides problems and slows flow

Principle 4: Customers Pull Value

• Pull System: processes are activated by actual, not forecasted, demand

• Customers get

– what they want

– when they want

– where they want

Learning Objective 8-1

Principle 5: Pursue Perfection

Lean System Culture: places a high value on respect for people

• Acceptance: agree to goals, veterans teach new employees

• Flexibility: responsive pull systems

• Teams: cross-functional and cross-organizational

• Employee empowerment: employees work to attack waste

• Manage with data: objective over subjective

• Waste is a symptom: attack root cause

• Goals are met: set realistic, achievable goals

• Standardization: reduces variation, simplifies problem solving

• Process orientation: process change for outcome change

Learning Objective 8-2

Lean Tools and Techniques: Scheduling and Control

• Takt Time: synchronizing output rate with demand rate

• Kanban (Pull) Scheduling: output generated in response to actual demand

• Push Scheduling: products are moved according to schedule, irrespective of whether or not there is demand

• Mixed Model (Heijunka) Scheduling: build smaller quantities more frequently

• Setup Reduction: shorter, easier changeover leads to smaller batches

• Statistical Process Control (SPC): use of statistical tools to monitor processes

• Visual Control: performance and problems easily, immediately visible

Learning Objective 8-2

Lean Tools and Techniques: Continuous Improvement

• Quality at the Source: eliminating defects at their origination points

• Kaizen Events: short-term, cross-functional, intense process improvement

• Process Analysis/Value Stream Mapping: graphical analysis of the flow through a process

• Poka-Yoke: redesign so mistakes are impossible or immediately detectable

• 5-S: effective housekeeping (sort, straighten, scrub, systematize, standardize)

• Simplification/Standardization: removing non– value-adding steps, making processes exactly repeatable

The 5-C Campaign

Intent

Seiri Sort Clear out Red tag suspected unnecessary items. After a monitoring period, throw out unnecessary items.

Seiton Straighten Configure Put everything in an orderly fashion so that it can be located—“a place for everything and everything in its place.” This is frequently done using “footprinting,” which creates a painted outline for each item.

Seiso Scrub Clean and check

Clean everything and eliminate the sources of dirt.

Seiketsu Systematize Conform Make cleaning and checking routine. Set the standard, train, and maintain.

Shitsuke Standardize Custom and practice

Standardize the previous four steps into one process and continuously improve it. Use visual control through performance boards, checklists, and graphs.

Reducing the Opportunity for Product Design Waste

Seven wastes in product design:

• Complexity: few, simple processes

• Precision: capability to attain specifications

• Variability: attainable specifications

• Immaturity: tested technology

• Danger: customers and environment are safe

• High skill: high degrees of training and experience
