Then we’ll address specifically how Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 supports lean thinking and enables implementation while delivering an integrated business management solution known for providing a fast return on investment. Finally, we’ll end with a brief demonstration and a chance to answer your questions.
I don’t need to tell you that business is tough. In recent years, global competition in manufacturing sectors has been especially fierce. On top of that, challenging conditions in many markets are leading to closures, business failures, and difficulty in obtaining capital. That means it’s more important than ever to control costs, do more with the equipment and resources you’ve already got, and provide superior service to customers. Of course, those same conditions represent a huge opportunity for organizations that can outperform competitors and leverage the uncertainty into greater market share and profitable growth.
In such tough conditions, the benefits of lean manufacturing interest manufacturers more than ever. Lean manufacturing or “lean thinking” is not new, of course, and Toyota is the most well-known practitioner, having been at it for decades. In the book Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation, James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones demonstrate the value of lean using the Toyota model. And although they can make lean manufacturing look easy, it’s not. Numerous organizations can attest to that, as do many bestselling books on the topic. But the jaw-dropping results of companies that have successfully implemented continue to draw admiring glances. It’s easy to see why such improvements give these companies a big edge over the competition. And the success stories are more than enough to make other business leaders take notice—or even renew a commitment to lean manufacturing that has previously fumbled or waned.
In fact, research done by AMR Research in 2007 indicated that the vast majority of organizations already are adopting lean methodologies and tools, at some level or in some parts of their organization. More than half are engaging in value stream analysis, which is the fundamental first step to implementing lean manufacturing. And fewer than 10 percent give lean thinking no attention at all.Reference: Demand-Driven Manufacturing, by Colin Masson, Alison Smith, and Simon Jacobson.

So what IS lean manufacturing, and what makes it of such widespread interest? Fundamentally, it’s doing more for the customer with less effort, less time, less inventory, less equipment, less space, and less money—except on the bottom line, that is.
To enable an organization to “do more with less,” lean thinking advocates five specific steps: Understand the value of your product, including the purchase experience, delivery, and service, as defined by the person who will pay for it: the customer. Clearly identify how that value is created by your organization—the value stream—and what you may be doing that is not actually contributing to that value. By lean definitions, anything else is muda, or waste. Most lean tools, such as Six Sigma and kanban systems, are aimed at identifying and eliminating waste to increase efficiency. Create a streamlined production flow that maximizes value and minimizes waste, including wasted time, wasted space, and wasted materials. Flow production is a radical change from traditional batch-and-queue production, in which orders may accumulate or work-in-progress may sit in inventory between stages of production. Drive production from customer demand, which is known as demand-pull production, instead of pushing production to create inventories that may or may not be directly associated with demand. Demand-driven production is another way to reduce waste in the form of finished goods inventories that take up space, age, become damaged, or that nobody ultimately wants. Strive for perfection. Do all of this flow improvement and waste reduction on a continuous cycle of incremental and ongoing improvement.
In some industries, lean manufacturing is a radical change in how manufacturers think about their businesses. But the effort has been proven well worth it.For instance, organizations have achieved results on the order of: Lead and throughput times down from weeks to days or from days to minutes. 90 percent inventory reduction. Rejections cut to zero, or near zero. On-time delivery performance approaching 100 percent. Productivity increases by nearly half. Cost reductions of 50 to 70 percent.
With such benefits, why is anyone waiting? There are probably as many reasons for hesitation or failure as there are organizations, and entire books have been written on the challenges of lean manufacturing and how to overcome them. But from an IT perspective, the challenges include: The inability to get or understand adequate information for process improvement. Lack of integration between processes, people, and information. Creating a “proof of concept”. It can work really well to take one product line to create "proof of concept" while the rest of the company remains "classic" batch and queue. But that means running in mixed mode and phased implementations in which some production cells or lines may be operating under lean principles and others have not yet made the switch. ERP and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems are viewed as essential but need to promoteprocess flow (lean) thinking.
