1. Work Vs. Waste
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Work Vs. Waste
Work = Physical or Chemical Change in the Product
A Process that physically or chemically
transforms / changes / shapes a product
or service which is eventually sold to a
customer.
In other words, the activities which increase
the value of a product is called Value
Added (VA) activity for which the customer
will be willing to pay for.
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Work Vs. Waste
Waste = No Physical or Chemical Change to the Product
A Process that takes time, resources,
space and effort but does not add any
value to the product or service, for which
the customer will not be willing to pay
eventually affecting the profit margin of the
company. NVAs are also called as Wastes.
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Work Vs. Waste
More than 95% of the time spent inside a factory is Waste
All companies have NVAs, Studies show
WORK
5%
that in a typical manufacturing unit, VA time
constitutes to less than 5% of the total lead
time.
We cannot eliminate all the NVAs, some of
them can be eliminated and many of them
can be reduced.
www.hashllp.com
WASTE
95%
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Work Vs. Waste
Example: Consider a Batch production in a Stamping
operation (Batch size 1000 pieces)
In this Stamping, Operation, the Value Added time is just the 1
second required for the Punch and Die to stamp the product.
But once the activity is done the product waits in the bin for
the remaining 999 pieces, before moving to the next
operation.
So, in this case, the Work is 1 Second (stamping time) and
the Waste is 999 seconds (waiting time)

Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
1. Transportation
Transportation is moving the product from one place to another. In other
words, transportation does not add value, but only changes the location.
Yes, the product has to be transported from one machine to another and
from one section to another. It is not possible completely remove the
transportation waste, However the transportation can be reduced through
effective layout.
Examples of Transportation:
•
•
•
Conveyors
Forklifts
Movement between shops
How to identify this waste:
•
•
•
Multiple storage of materials
Multiple movement of materials
Poor facility layout
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
2. Inventory
Inventory is the stock that is present in the company. You may be
thinking, How can it be a waste?
When the material is stored as inventory, there is no transformation
that happens in the product. So it is considered as a waste.
Inventory can be classified into 3 types. Raw Materials (RM), WorkIn-Progress (WIP) and Finished Goods (FG).
We consider WIP to be the biggest enemy of Lean (we would explain
this in the later slides)
Examples of Inventory:
•
•
•
Too much WIP in the shop floor
Large warehouse to store RM and FG
Strategic purchase of RM
How to identify this waste:
•
•
•
High Set up times and high WIP in shop floor
Long lead times for engineering change
Long supply channels / Lead times of purchased products
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
3. Motion
Any movement of people, that does not add value to the product. In
other words operator moving to pick or place a component does not
add any value to the product. Similarly, bending/ leaning to pick a
product frequently causes fatigue to the people and can reduce the
productivity. Motion waste can be reduced by placing the components/
tools at right place which reduces the operator movement.
Examples:
•
Materials/Tools kept at distance making the operator stretch/ bend
How to identify this waste:
•
•
•
•
Looking for tools and parts
Excessive reaching or bending
Material too far apart
Poor cell/process layout
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
4. Waiting
Idle time in which no Value Addition takes place to the product. People/
machine/ Material waiting for the other is a waste. Some common examples
are Machine break-down, Changeover time, Set-up time etc.
Examples:
•
•
•
People waiting for machines or materials
Machine waiting time - Absenteeism, No Raw Materials
Material waiting time - breakdown / set-up change
How to identify this waste:
•
Person watching machines run/ waiting for machines to complete the
process
•
•
Materials placed in bins /storage racks
Machines halted during setup, Changeover or breakdown is a waste
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
5. Over Production
Producing more than what the next process requires, Producing at a faster
pace than needed.
Examples:
•
•
Stock in between process (WIP)
Excess Capacity machines
How to identify this waste:
•
•
•
•
Unbalanced material flow
Producing ahead of demand
Large lot sizes or Batch processing
Inventory stockpiles
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Overproduction locks the
Working capital of the unit
6. OverProcessing
Efforts / Activities that are added to compensate for the inefficiencies in the
operations. These activities do not add any value, but looks like Value Adding
activities. It’s very difficult to identify them.
Examples:
•
•
•
Multiple counting and packing of the products in between stages
Multiple inspections
Numbering / in individual parts
How to identify this waste:
•
•
Multiple Stages of Inspections
•
•
Redundant approvals, Extra copies and excess information
Barcoding / numbering / identification systems which do not reach the
customers
Inefficient policies and Procedures
www.hashllp.com
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
7. Defect
Producing defective components is a waste. The defective product has to
be reprocessed again to meet the customer requirements which takes
time and effort.
Examples:
•
•
•
Warranty replacements
Rework
Scrap
DEFECT
How to identify this waste:
•
•
Extra floor space, tools & equipments for Defects handling
Extra man power to inspect, rework and repair

The Biggest Poison in every
company?
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
WIP is the Biggest Poison
WIP hides high set up times, poor quality, high
transportation, waiting and high breakdown of machines; all
the wastes we had read earlier.
Imagine the overall operations as a ship and there are so
many wastes (rocks) at the bottom of the sea. The water
level is the WIP. If the water level is high, the ship will sail
without hitting the rocks. But when the water level is low,
the ship starts to get hit by the rocks.

Reducing the WIP, solves Problems
Pressure to revert back to old ways. Lean Fails…
There would be pressure from all the sides to revert to the old way
of working (with high WIP). Don’t revert to the old ways of working.
Now these issues have to be addressed one by one, so that the
productivity improves.
One of the primary reason lean initiatives fail across many
organizations is because, having more WIP means there is no
pressure for the people to solve the issues. So they would
continue to work in the same way and no results would be achieved
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Magic Pill = Continuous Flow
Creating Continuous Flow (Single Piece Flow) would reduce
WIP
Single Piece Flow (Small batch Production) would eliminate WIP
which would result in all the wastes getting eliminated / reduced.
For e.g. Transportation is reduced as each piece needs to be moved
immediately to the next operation. So the processes have to be set
close to each other (layout has to be modified). Similarly Change-over
time has to be reduced as no WIP means the entire line will stop
during change over.
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
Continuous Flow is
the Foundation of all
Lean Initiatives
All lean tools depend on Continuous Flow
Without Continuous Flow, all other tools fail
All the lean tools are designed to work better along with Continuous

SMED
E.g. Change-over time reduction would be possible by Single
Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED). However, if there is no flow, and
high WIP, there is no pressure for the teams to reduce the change
over time. They can take as much time as they want for changeover.
But if there is less WIP, the entire line would stop during the change
over. So there is a pressure for the team to reduce the change-over

time. In this case, SMED cannot be skipped and would be followed
automatically

3. Introduction to Value Stream
Mapping (VSM)
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
What is a Value Stream
All the activities inside a factory (from Raw Materials to
Finished Goods)
Before learning about Value Stream Mapping, let us discuss about Value Stream. It is all
the activities (both VA and NVA) currently required to complete a product. i.e., from the RM
stage to FG stage.

Value gets added at each stage

Value Stream Mapping (VSM)
Value Stream Mapping(VSM) is a pencil and paper tool which maps the entire process
(both VA & NVA) currently required to bring a product to the customer. Unlike other tools
VSM captures both Material flow and Information flow of a process. It helps in identifying
the source of Non Value Adding(NVA) activities in a Value stream.

Some Guidelines for VSM
For mapping the value stream, the initial step is to
identify the Product Family you want to focus on.
The next step is to create the VSM for that product
family. We can call this VSM as Current State VSM,
because we are mapping the existing state.
This VSM is the baseline for the future and the
improvement projects would be planned based on
the current state VSM. The team can then create a
Future State VSM to understand the changes that
would be done and the benefits of the improvement
projects.

Product family
What is a Product Family?
Assembly Steps & Equipments
A Product family is a group of products that
pass through similar processing steps and
over common equipment in your downstream
process. In simple words, products having
same operations
www.kaizenclub.co.in
PRODUCTS
Select a product which goes through most
of the processes in your unit. In many
cases this would be the high Volume / Value
product in your company. Select that product
to start creating the VSM.

Current State Map
What is a current state map?
Current state map, as the name
implies it maps the existing processes
(for a product) which happens inside
the plant.
Process level
Single plant Level
It is advisable to work in a single plant
level(at the initial stages) and later
create VSM across multiple units

Guidelines
How to collect data for VSM
• Start with a product family that’s getting produced in a single plant
• Always collect current state information while walking along the actual pathways of material and
information flows yourself
• Begin with a quick walk along the entire door-to-door value stream - to have an idea
• Begin at the Delivery Stage and work upstream
• Bring your own stopwatch and do not rely on standard times or information given by others
• Map the whole value stream yourself - don't do in bits or outsource
• Always draw by hand in Pencil - No computers please

Guidelines
A few mapping tips
•
Stand at a distance from the operator - do not disturb him/her. Tell them that you are just
observing and not to be nervous. let them continue at their own pace
•
Do not start measuring the time immediately. Observe the process in detail for at least 5
cycles. What is the work happening in the process?
•
After 5 cycles, note the sub-activities in the process - loading, unloading, switching on the
machine, cleaning the burr, etc. - note it down in the sheet
•
•
After another 5 cycles - start measuring the time - this is the total cycle time
•
Totally - 20 Cycles for 1 operation
After another 5 cycles - Measure the time of the Value Added activity (physical/chemical
change in the product)

How to draw the Customer requirement?
Get yourself with a A3 paper and walk across
the entire process flow to under stand the
process to have an idea of the process. Now
start creating the map by drawing an Factory
icon and note down the customer
requirements(Month requirement, Variant,
Shipment schedule and Bin/ tray quantity) in
the Data box icon

Changeover time, No. Of operators, No. Of machines, Uptime,
Shift time, No. Of Shifts) for each process in the process box.
A Process box indicates a process or an area of material flow
(ideally a continuous flow). Example, an assembly process
with 3 activities done by 1 person in a table, would be drawn
as 1 box. But if the product moves to the next table, it would
be drawn as another box.

How to represent Inventory between stations?
As you move past the processes you may
notice inventories piled up between
processes. Capture the inventory locations
with the inventory triangle(Shown right side) in
between process and Note down the
inventory quantity below each triangle.
If the inventory is in more than one place,
then draw a triangle for each location.

6. Ten Important Concepts
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
1. Takt Time
Takt time is the customer requirement rate of a product. Takt time is calculated by dividing
the customer demand per day to available working time per day(in seconds)
Available working time per day
Takt time
Customer requirement per day
“Takt time is the Heartbeat of the Line”
For example: If the customer demand rate is 500nos per day for a product and if the
company works 1 shift per day, then
Available time - (8hours *60minutes *60seconds) *90% efficiency = 25900 seconds
Takt time = 25900/500 = 51.84 sec
i.e., every 51.84 seconds the line should produce 1 product
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
2. Bottleneck Activities
What is a Bottleneck operation?
Bottleneck operation is the process for which the cycle time of the process is higher than
the Takt time. There can be more than one bottleneck operation.

Bottleneck Activities
•
Output of the line is determined by the Bottleneck Activities
•
To improve the line’s output, cycle times of the bottleneck activities have to be reduced (to
less than take time requirements)
•
Do NOT reduce the cycle times of Non-Bottleneck Activities
•
•
It will not have any impact on the overall output of the line
Even a small reduction of cycle time in the bottleneck activity would have a big impact on the
output of the line
•
For E.g in our previous example, the current output is 25900/75 = 345 pieces. If the cycle
time is reduced to 65 Seconds, the output of the line will be = 25900/65 = 398 pieces

improvement is the process improvement in strategically important areas (Bottleneck
operation).

4. Line Balancing
What is Line Balancing?
The cycle times of the various processes vary and this creates Waiting and OverProduction
inside the line. To smoothen the output of the line, Line Balancing is necessary.
“Line balancing is optimising the workload across all processes in a cell or value stream
to remove bottlenecks and excess capacity”
Line balancing can be done by observing the process for their work elements (VA time vs. NVA
time in the process) and doing Kaizen in the process.

5. Supermarkets
Fixed Quantity Shelf for storing materials
A Supermarket in lean manufacturing is similar to a
conventional supermarket, where a predetermined
quantity will only be allowed to be stored.
Wherever continuous flow is not possible (Very fast
process, Supplier is very far away, one process
serving multiple product lines, etc), Super market
system can be practiced. E.g. a conventional heat
treatment oven operating in Batch Production. You
cannot operate it in single piece flow. So, you may
want to create a supermarket before the oven.

8. Load Levelling (Heijunka)
How to distribute the Production of Different products
evenly?
Do not schedule long runs of one product type and avoid changeovers, It eventually
creates high WIP / FG in the shop floor.

9. Pitch
•
Smallest standard Quantity that can be planned in the line
•
Normally the Carton Box Quantity can be taken as the pitch
•
For e.g. If the final product is packed in a box of 50 , Pitch of the line
is 50
•
The Production plan can be given in terms of the Pitch
•
We can plan the line to change to another product based on the Pitch
(50 Nos)

10. Cell Layout
•
A Cell Layout is used when a product flows through a dedicated set of
A
machines / processes
•
The cycle times of these machines are balanced in such a way that no of
operators are less than the number of machines
•
t
n
e

I.e. An operator can load machine A, and move to the Machine B for
a
n

a
Sometimes
the
cells
are
designed
in
such
a
way
that 1 operator operates

7 Steps to reduce wastes - Future State
1. Develop Continuous flow wherever possible
2. Produce to your Takt time
3. Use Supermarkets to control production where continuous flow is not possible
4. Try to send the customer schedule to only one production process
5. Distribute the production of different products evenly at the pacemaker process
6. Create an “initial pull” by releasing and withdrawing small increments of work at the pacemaker
process
7. Develop the ability to make “Every Part Every Day” (later improve to shifts, hours , etc)
www.kaizenclub.co.in
Copyright of Hash Management Services LLP, 2020. All Rights Reserved
1. Develop continuous flow
Continuous Flow reduces
wastes
Benefits of Continuous Flow Production
1. Less WIP means less supervisory effort
2. Better Quality as the mistakes are
corrected immediately
3. No waiting of the materials
4. Less mixups and handling related issues

3. Use Supermarkets to control production
Use Supermarkets for managing the WIP and the Flow
Whenever a process cannot be put inside a line, use supermarkets to manage the flow
1. When the machine is designed for Batch Processing - e.g. Oven for baking, Heat treatment, Powder Coating Curing
machine, etc.
2. Machines with very high capacity - E.g. Press operations (Stamping / blanking, etc) typically have 1 or 2 sec cycle
times. In our experience, these machines have higher capacity than the downstream processes.
3. Subcontracting Process - materials which go outside the walls of the company for subcontracting
4. High Cycle Time Operations - In some cases the cycle times of the process cannot be reduced beyond a limit. In that
case where this process’ cycle time is significantly higher than the rest of the process, we have no option to move the
process out of the line and put the other activities in the line. Example: This process has to be run 2 or 3 shifts, but the
other activities can be managed in 1 shift

In batch processing, production scheduling has to be done at various levels. When using a P
L
Pull system, you will typically need to schedule only one Production process, and this iss L
called Pacemaker process. Typically, pacemaker processes are present after the ice
va
Supermarkets. Material moves from the Pacemaker process to the downstream in

5. Distribute the production of different products
evenly in the pacemaker process
Load Levelling
Do not schedule long runs of one product type and avoid changeovers, It eventually
creates high WIP / FG in the shop floor.
E.g. Instead of assembling all the “Type A” products in the morning and all “Type B”
products in the afternoon, try to alternate repeatedly between “Type A and Type B”, else
make One hour once changeovers

6. Create an Initial Pull
How to Create an initial Pull?
What will happen if you release large batch of work?
•
No sense of takt time / No pull from the downstream process
•
Work happens unevenly - extra burden on people
•
Difficult to monitor - are we behind or ahead of schedule?
•
Responding to customer order changes becomes difficult
Start with small, consistent quantity schedules ( 5 to 60 minutes of work)
•
Pitch = time taken to fill One Carton size / Bin Size = takt time X carton size
•
E.g. if takt time is 30 seconds and carton size is 20 pieces; pitch = 30X20 Sec = 10 min
•
Plan based on 10 min pitch. i.e. Once in 10 min there can be a change in the
production. Production plan cannot change in between.

7. Develop the ability to make “Every Part Every Day”
How to make “Every Part Every Day”?
•
Shorten the Change-Over Process
•
Run Smaller Batches
•
Every Part Every Day
•
Later improve to every shift, hour, pitch

Future State VSM
So far, we have discussed the guidelines for creating future State
VSM. A sample Future State map is given in the next page
1. Develop Continuous flow wherever possible
2. Produce to your Takt time
3. Use Supermarkets to control production where continuous flow is not possible
4. Try to send the customer schedule to only one production process
5. Distribute the production of different products evenly at the pacemaker process
6. Create an “initial pull” by releasing and withdrawing small increments of work at the
pacemaker process
7. Develop the ability to make “Every Part Every Day” (later improve to shifts, hours , etc)

Benefits of VSM
1. Gives a clear understanding of the operations - bird’s eye view
2. VSM brings out the bottleneck activities and other wastes present in the
operations
3. Helps in identifying the improvement projects that needs to be done
4. Results can be measured for the entire value stream, not for particular
operations / sections. In some companies we have seen that improvement
in some sections, would not translate into overall line improvements
(because they would have worked on non-bottleneck activities)
5. Everyone in the team can use the same language, so communication
among the members is easy
