Thinking Lean





Specify value
 can only be defined by the ultimate customer
Identify the value stream
 exposes the enormous amounts of waste
Create flow
 reduce batch size and WIP
Let the customer pull product through the value stream
 make only what the customer has ordered
Seek perfection
 continuously improve quality and eliminate waste

Lean vs. Traditional




Major reduction in sales-order cycle time by 59 percent
(from 23 hours to 9 hours)
Engineering change-order cycle time by 91 percent
(from two hours to two)
Response time to customer’s quote requests by 83
percent (from 66 hours to 11 hours)
Errors by company employees were reduced by 69
percent

Push Vs. Pull Scheduling


Push Scheduling
• traditional approach
• “move the job on when finished”
• problems - creates excessive inventory
Pull scheduling
• coordinated
• driven by demand (pulled through system)
• extensive use of visual triggers
(production/withdrawal kanbans)

Everyday Poka Yoke Examples
3.5 inch diskettes cannot be inserted unless diskette
is oriented correctly. This is as far as a disk can be
inserted upside-down. The beveled corner of the
diskette along with the fact that the diskette is not
square, prohibit incorrect orientation.
Fueling area of car has three error-proofing devices:
1. insert keeps leaded-fuel nozzle from being inserted
2. tether does not allow loss of gas cap
3. gas cap has ratchet to signal proper tightness and
prevent overtightening.
New lawn mowers are required to have a safety bar
on the handle that must be pulled back in order to
start the engine. If you let go
of the safety bar, the mower blade stops in 3
seconds or less.
