The document discusses Andon, a visual signaling system used in factories to indicate issues that need attention. It suggests Andon signals can be lights or sounds and should be placed where operators and support staff can see or hear them. Locations can include operator stations, automated equipment, and areas needing monitoring. The document stresses determining signal needs, establishing protocols, training employees, and monitoring usage to ensure Andon is used effectively and problems are solved rather than just reacted to. It notes Andon implementation can range in cost but the most important factor is developing a culture where problems are stopped and supported.
Visual elements in a workplace have a tremendous impact on education, morale, and productivity.
A visually dynamic workplace energizes employees, builds pride and ownership, and conveys the strength and currency of the organization.
Visual control are means, devices, or mechanisms that were designed to manage or control our operations (processes) so as to meet the following purposes:
Make the problems, abnormalities, or deviation from standards visible to everyone and thus corrective action can be taken immediately (Identification).
Display the operating or progress status in a easy to see format (Informative).
Provide instruction (Instructional).
Helps formulate and proliferate plans (Planning).
The purpose of this session is to provide you with a high level overview and sense of importance of what Lean is and how it can be applied to your organization. We will also help you identify waste in your processes and give you a flavor of some tools that will help to eliminate that waste, making your processes more efficient and effective.
“Lean” is a management philosophy based on the Toyota Production System (TPS). With Lean Manufacturing, you will be able to enhance value for your customers by improving and smoothing the process flow and eliminating waste. Simply put, with Lean, you will be able to increase productivity and create greater customer value with less resources.
By teaching this presentation, managers and employees will have a better understanding of the Lean principles and approach to eliminating waste, and will be more forthcoming to lead and participate in the Lean implementation process.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Acquire knowledge on the key concepts and principles of Lean

Implantando el concepto de fábrica o factoría visual conseguiremos obtener un lugar de trabajo auto-regulable y auto-explicativo gracias a señales o paneles luminosos de bajo costo que proporcionen una información rápida a los operarios y reduzcan así costes de tiempo, mejoren la seguridad o ayuden a entender los problemas más eficazmente.
Distribución correcta en planta. Distribución adecuada de la fábrica o centro logístico para mejorar el flujo de materias primas, de materiales, lugares de tratamiento, etc...
Técnicas asociadas a la entrega de los pedidos a los clientes cuidando el tiempo de entrega, los costes de producción, opciones de mejora continua, etc. Nivelado y planificación de la producción de forma que ésta sea más eficiente. Determinación del TAKT o tiempo requerido.
Lean Manufacturing VSM Value Stream MappingLean Sigma
Para una empresa es crucial analizar la cadena de valor de sus procesos productivos de forma que se puedan identificar las pérdidas en dicha cadena para eliminarlas. De esta forma conseguiremos mayor beneficio en la producción. El VSM es una herramienta de análisis, consiste en plasmar en un documento todos los procesos productivos, todos los procesos informativos y asociarlos a sus tiempos.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

4. Anyplace that is practical
› At an operator station
› As Jidoka on automation
› In a place where monitoring is required
5. Determine where andon is needed
Establish what signals will be used and when
Put the switch near the operator
Put the signal in a place where the
supporting person can see/hear it
Write instructions
Train
Practice, monitor, retrain
6. It can be expensive:
OR
It can be as cheap as you want it to be:
OR
Anything in between:
7. A light is just a light
The culture will decide if Andon will work
› Do you stop the line when there’s a problem?
› Are there support systems in place?
› Do you value a visual factory?
› Are you solving problems or just reacting?
› Is there motivation to use it?
