LEAN 101
Lean works to improve the efficiency of any process by
identifying and eliminating waste, also known as non-
value added activity.
LEAN 101
An Optimized Value Stream
LEAN is a system which produces:
What the customer wants…“The Right Part”
When the customer wants it… “The Right Time”
In the quantity the customer wants…“The Right Amount”
While using the minimum:
Raw Materials
Equipment
Labor
Space
Value Adding Activities...
...transform raw materials and information into products or services
which the customer wants!
Non-Value Adding Activities...
...consume resources, but don't directly contribute to the product.
VALUE ADD vs. NON-VALUE ADD
Value Adding Activities...

MANUFACTURING WASTES
Waste of Transportation:
“Transporting parts and materials around the plant.”
Causes of Transportation:
▪ Poor plant layout
▪ Poor understanding of process flow
▪ Large batch sizes
▪ Long lead times
▪ Large storage areas
▪ Double and triple handling
WASTE 1
Waste of Inventory:
“Inventory waste is stock or work in process in excess of the requirements
necessary to produce goods or services just in time.”
Causes of Inventory
▪ Unleveled Scheduling
▪ Poor Market Forecast
▪ Unbalanced Workload
▪ Unreliable shipments by suppliers
▪ Misunderstood communications
WASTE 2
Waste of Motion:
“Any movement of people or machines that does not add value.”
Causes of Wasted Motion:
▪ Inconsistent work methods
▪ Unfavorable facility or cell layout
▪ Poor workplace organization
▪ Misplaced tools and equipment
WASTE 3
Waste of Waiting:
“Idle Time created when waiting for…”
Causes of Waiting:
▪ Unbalanced work load
▪ Unplanned Maintenance
▪ Long set ups
▪ Misuses of automation
▪ Upstream quality problems
▪ Unleveled scheduling
▪ Waiting for approvals
▪ Poor communication
WASTE 4
Waste of Overprocessing:
“Effort adds no value to the product or service from the customers viewpoint.”
Causes of Overprocessing:
▪ Product changes without process changes
▪ Just in case mentality
▪ Customer requirements undefined
▪ Large downtime
▪ Lack of Communication
▪ Redundant approvals
▪ Extra copies/excessive information
WASTE 5
Waste of Overproduction:
“Making more, earlier, or faster than is required by the next process.”
Causes of Overproduction
▪ Misuse of automation
▪ Push Production Mentality
▪ Long process set up
▪ Un-level scheduling
▪ Unbalanced work load
WASTE 6
Waste of Defects:
“Using resources to inspect and repair material in inventory wastes time.”
Causes of Defects:
▪ Weak Process control
▪ Poor quality materials
▪ Unbalanced inventory level
▪ Deficient planned maintenance
▪ Inadequate training/work orders
▪ Product design
▪ Customer needs not understood
