• Create precise customer value
- goods and services with higher quality
and fewer defects
– with less human effort, less space, less
capital, and less time than the traditional
system of mass production.
• Remove ‘waste’
– Consume ‘just enough’ recourses
– Do more with less

Defining Value and Waste
• Defining value - an item or feature for
which a customer willing to pay.
• Every thing else – waste
• Waste - activities that consume time,
resource and/or space but do not add
value.
• Lean - Production of product to meet
demand on daily basis with minimum lead
time & non value added activities
eliminated or minimized

Focus on Waste

Value Added Activity
• Test for value added activities
- Transforms product in some way
- Customer sees & willing to pay
- Will the customer know if eliminated

“Lean manufacturing is not a collection of best
practices from which manufacturers can pick
and choose. It is a production philosophy, a
way of conceptualizing the manufacturing
process from raw material to finished goods
and from design concept to customer
satisfaction. Lean is truly a different way of
thinking about manufacturing.”
- Running Today’s Factory: A Proven Strategy
for Lean Manufacturing, Charles Standard.

……‘Identify the Value Stream’
All the actions required to bring a specific
product or service through the three critical
transformation processes:
• Idea transformation: concept to market launch
• Information transformation: order-take through
scheduling to delivery
• Physical transformation: raw materials to final
customer

Lean Thinking Principles #3,4,5
#3: Make the work flow
• Every time the flow of work stops we
consume resources that adds costs but
generates no value
#4: Respond only when the customer pulls work
• Overproduction is the worst form of waste
as it generate all other waste types e.g.
transportation, inventory, waiting,…..
#5: Strive to seek perfection
• The real benchmark is zero waste, not what
your competitors are doing!

problems as they occur in the
manufacturing process.
2. Provide a simple and consistent
mechanism for communicating
information on the plant floor.
3. Encourage immediate reaction
to quality, down time, and
safety problems.
4. Improve accountability of
operators by increasing their
responsibility for “good”
production and empowering
them to take action when
problems occur.
5. Improve the ability of
supervisors to quickly identify
and resolve manufacturing
issues.

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Many of the key principles were pioneered by Henry Ford, who was the first person to integrate an entire production system, under what he termed “flow production." Following World War II, the Toyota Motor Company adapted Ford’s principles as a means of compensating for its challenge of limited human, financial, and material resources.
