Waste & Lean mind set in Organization Fundamentals of Lean mfg.. System Implementation Comparison with 6sigma & Lean mfg. Results Eras in Manufacturing Craft production has existed for centuries Mass production developed after World War I by Henry Ford and General Motors Alfred Sloan Based on principles of Scientific Management Lean production developed in Japan after World War II pioneered by Eiji Toyoda and Taiichi Ohno of Toyota Comparison large product variety high productivity and low cost low productivity, and high cost high productivity and low cost standardized products unique, individualized, custom made products highly flexible machines expensive, single purpose machines simple, flexible tools teams of multiskilled workers unskilled or semiskilled workers highly skilled workers or artisans Lean Mass Craft Why Lean or 6 Sigma? Business generally hold competitive advantages over their competitors for one of two reasons: 1.Unique Products:Having Superior product to their competition,often in the form of technological capabilities or niche marketing. 2.Low Cost Products:Having a superior process to their competition,often in the form of internal efficiencies or low cost production. Lean Manufacturing a brief history at Toyota Manufacturer of trucks and small automobiles in Post-WWII Japan Aneed was declared by Toyotas President to discover a new production method that would eliminate waste and help Toyota catch up with foreign competitors. Chief engineers studied writings of Henry ford,then visited Ford plants extensively in the 1950s -begins thewar on waste IMVP study in 1980s early identifiedLean Manufacturing 1984,Toyota becomes a North American manufacturer with joint venture at NUMMI plant in California.Stellar Results 1990s and Beyond,Lean Production Strategies adopted in numerous Industries All other Car manufacturers have adopted Lean principles!

Technology Management Structured flow manufacturing Small lot size production Setup Reduction Fitness for use
Ideally a lot size of one or at the very least,equal to customers order. Measured as time(and cost)from the last good piece of the previous job or run to the first good piece of the new job to run. Short set up enables greater production feasibility,less inventory & more capacity. Category Scope Each next step in the total business throughput process is the previous steps customer One work center must meet the needs or requirements of the next work centers precisely
Structured flow manufacturing In functional manufacturing the ration of Work to Motion is low because the products usually required a lot of transportation and other movements during the manufacturing cycle. Small lot Production Setup reduction Fitness For use Technology Management People Management Total employee Involvement Control through Visibility Housekeeping Total quality focus When a problem occurs, so fast & how effective the decisive action can be taken Visibility is used as a effective Communication media A place for everything and everything in its place Eliminate potential confusion,promote a safer environment and reduction of waste of time,motion and resources Category Scope Focus requires conformance to standards Quality of the product indicates the quality of the Process.If there are problems in the product quality,there are unacceptable variations in the manufacturing or Business process Focus encompasses the entire product chain from supplier to customer Employee Involvement Improvement through small group improvement activities Trigger the Empowerment Control through visibility House keeping focus Total quality Focus People Management System Management Level load & Balanced flow M/c maintenance(JH) Supplier Partnerships Pull system High level operating performance with in the requiredtolerances Eliminate equipment as a source of process defect Partner implied long-term & stable relation ship with vendor Focus on reducing costs for everyone through shared quality goals,design responsibility,delivery in total cost perspective

Super market is a place where material is available for the customer, based on their requirement. From the point of view of a customer, the Super Market -style purchase ensures that there is not going to be an excess purchase, customer goes out to buy what is needed and when it is needed Super Market Pull System "ordering" KANBAN "withdrawal" KANBAN CUSTOMER PROCESS Customer process goes to supermarket and withdraws what it needs when it needs it. SUPPLYING PROCESS Supplying process to replenish what was withdrawn. PURPOSE Controls Ordering at suplying process without trying to schedule. "ordering" KANBAN It Triggers Ordering of Materials. "withdrawal" KANBAN It is a shoping list that instructs the Material handler to get and transfer materials.

Pace setting is based on the Cycle time of the process center which is directly having impact on Customer Requirement. Pitch has to be set according to the takt time (available work time/customer requirement) and quantity need to transfer,by multiplying both.
Why Pace setting? To distribute the materials evenly over time at the pacemaker process, pace setting to be followed by Spider man..
Who is Spider Man? The person from subsequent Process who is Pulling material from supermarket when he needs, is Known as Spider man. He should come in a Paced manner in order to have load-smoothing system of production. It will eliminate the peaks and Valleys in the work load to avoid excess production and excessive progression in a particular process. This system is increasingly easier in change the production plan.
Lean & 6Sigma - a comparison Goal: 6 sigma = Reduce Variation Understand customer requirement(QFD) Focus on critical to quality variables Lean=Remove waste Understand what customer sees as value(QFD) Eliminate everything that does not add value
Lean & 6Sigma - a comparison Focus 6 sigma = Problem focused Variation is a problem that can be addressed Find the sources with the Largest economic impact Lean=Flow focused The constant start and stop of product results in costs that cannot be passed on to the customer Find the barriers to flow(Work flow Vs Work forced to flow)
Lean & 6Sigma - a comparison Primary Benefit 6 sigma = Uniform Process output Predictable,dependable processes are always less expensive to operate(less scrap,rework) Most companies grossly underestimate their COPQ Lean=Reduced flow time Improving flow will always reduce manufacturing cost(Ford,1926) Lean & 6Sigma - a comparison Secondary Benefit 6 sigma Less Waste Faster throughput Improved quality Less Inventory
Lean Less Variation Uniform output Improved quality Less Inventory
How 6Sigma helps Lean?! Lean Waste elimination Flow At the pull of the Customer Continuous improvement
Six sigma Variation reduction Scrap / rework elimination Process control Continuous improvement
Speed + Accuracy =Performance Lean exposes NVA/VA and makes value added flow 6Sigma reduces Variation of value added Differences-Lean & 6 Sigma Lean is long term - there is no done Lean is enterprise wide - it will ultimately involve all employees,as well as supplier and customers 6Sigma Project focused,projects usually last 3-6 months 6Sigma Promoted Product reliability,Lean promotes Organizational reliability.
