What is lean?
A quick reminder…
Lean and Flow aren’t new
Any colour as
long as it’s
black!
Manufacturing at Highland Park in
1913
When did it all become so
complex?
We want
variety!
Variety means...
•Colour changes
•Body and shape changes
Which, in turn, means...
• Increased skill requirement
• More parts and part numbers
Which, in turn, means…
•Process islands
•More complex scheduling
Which, in turn, means…
Spaghetti World!

Inputs Your Process Outputs
1st Step - ID your Value Streams and
create flow with what resources you have
Inputs Your Process Outputs
MRP, Shared Resource, unbalanced
shifts and long C/O times
Value Stream 1
Value Stream 3
Value Stream 2
Value Stream 4
2nd Step eliminate the “knots and remaining tangles”
by dedicating resources to value streams - commit
yourself to single piece flow!

• The systems, people, equipment, product and all need to go from
control to habitual improvement
• Areas from clutter to clean
• Engineering from breakdown panic to predictive calm
• Process from fickle to dependable
• Product from changeable to consistent
• Shift management from reactive to proactive
• Continuous improvement from special effort to daily habit

Creating Standards for
Operational Excellence
Standard Work
Standard description of a task or
process, which if followed
consistently, ensures the same output
Standard Management
Standard process to ensure
standards are being met
Visual Management
Make problems visible and
bring them to the attention
of the user.

Identifying and
Eliminating Waste
In Manufacturing there are 7
Traditional Types of NVA or Waste
•Waste of T ransport
•Waste of I nventory
•Waste of M ovement
•Waste of W aiting
•Waste of O verprocessing
•Waste of O verproduction
•Waste of D efects and Rework

Has a positive impact on;
• Quality and scrap
• Engineering change introduction
• Margin
• Overtime & resources at month-end
• Capital investment
• Due date performance
• Improved forecast reliability
• Leadtime-
• Leadtime is proportional to inventory

Stuck in first gear and can’t get
traction!
“Lean production has dramatically lifted the
competitiveness of many manufacturing companies and the
value they deliver to customers.
Despite these triumphs, many firms I visit are stuck in first
gear on their initial lean efforts. They are trying to create
flow but can’t somehow get traction.
An overlooked and recurring pitfall that I’m seeing more
often is a lack of “basic stability” in operations.”
Art Smalley Lean Enterprise Institute
