What Do We Expect of You? Total Top Management Committment &Top Down, Bottom Up Approach

Specify value correctly

Identify the value stream & remove waste (muda)

Enable the product to flow

Ensure customer pull

Go for planned perfection

What is Lean Thinking? Repeat the principles to avoid focus on isolated techniques!

Map your value streams

Identify your product families

Take everyone on a walk along a value stream, and

Learn to See!

The Lean Path

Products that:

Share the same designs, tools and fabrication processes

Follow roughly the same path between tools and fabrication steps

What is a Product Family?

All tasks currently required to move the product family from:

Concept to launch (the design cycle)

Raw materials to customer (the build cycle)

Delivery to recycling (the sustain cycle)

What is a Value Stream?

The only accurate way to create the map is to take a walk and draw what you see!

Historical data as well as what people declare to be “correct” is almost always wrong!

We recommend a pencil, a piece of paper, a clock (or a calendar), and sneakers as the basic mapping kit

Some Home Truths

Managers focus on techniques and programs

TQM

Business Process Reengineering

Kaizen Blitzkrieg

6 Sigma

ERP

Why is Lean Thinking Hard?

Focus on the value stream for each product

Make someone responsible for each product family: the Value Stream Manager (VSM)

Create an accurate current state

Ask the VSM to envision a future state with fewer wasted steps, maximal flow, and pure pull

Tell the VSM to achieve and stabilize the future state in a set period of time

Tell the VSM to do it again (the current-state to future- state lean leap) in a few months and then again and then again and then again and then…

What Should YOU Do?

We are a Group of Practitioners with “Hands-on” Production and Management Experience in implementing WCM in India, and overseas specializing in Japanese production techniques such as JIT / SMED / Poka Yoke / KANBAN / TPM.

Our strength derives from The Vedas of ancient India with the proven & diabolic Zen Philosophy of the Far East.

Our conviction is in the Principles of Gemba i.e. eliminating MUDA, MURA & MURI and in improving the Total Employee Involvement (TEI) towards increased supportive participation

A bit about Ourselves

Our Objective Our objective is to train a core group of people within your organisation to acquire new “hands-on” skills / capabilities in implementing Lean / WCM tools & techniques, such that they can be taught to ‘Fish’ from us & in turn multiply as well as pass on the skills to other employees and sections We believe that ordinary people if properly motivated & trained can turn in extra-ordinary results. Towards this end we shall insist on continual improvements by all We will provide you with Road Maps, Milestones, as we move along
