Lean Manufacturing Definition
Lean has been defined in many different ways.
“A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating
waste(non-value-added activities) through continuous
improvement by flowing the product at the pull of the
customer in pursuit of perfection.”
By The MEP Lean Network
History Timeline for Lean Manufacturing
Lean manufacturing is a philosophy
In 1990 James Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and Daniel Roos
wrote a book called “The Machine That Changed
the World: The Story of Lean Production-- Toyota's
Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That Is Now
Revolutionizing World Industry”
In this book, Womack introduced the Toyota Production
System to American.
What was new was a phrase–
"Lean Manufacturing."
Muda (Waste)
Taiichi Ohno (1912-1990), the Toyota executive who was the most
ferocious foe of waste human history has produced, identified the first
seven types of muda in manufacturing system:
• Storage
• Transportation
• Waiting
• Motion
• Process
• Defects
• Over-production
Muda is everywhere.

The Objections to Lean
How should you deal with these objections to lean?
•“It is very hard to deal with raw material suppliers if
we fully depend on customer order.”
•“It takes too much discipline.”
•“It takes too long to implement.”
•“My process is too complex; I have to deal with too
many uncontrollable variables, like late supplier
shipments, sick people, etc.”
•“My process requires a large batch size.”
•“It doesn’t make sense in my industry.”
•“It’s unclear to me how lean will work with my MRP
system.”
Key Steps in Transforming
a Company to the Lean Approach
1. Establish a steering team—conduct strategic planning session
2. Train the steering team and the model line team in the disciplines of
lean
3. Perform PQR (product-quantity-routing) analysis
4. Identify value streams—select a value stream
5. Calculate model line takt time
6. Value stream map the model line—assemble current state map
7. Balance the line—assign standard work
8. Establish standard WIP (inventory levels)
9. Test the system (virtual cell)—document results
10. Setup reduction event
Key Steps in Transforming
a Company to the Lean Approach
11. Conduct 5S event—apply TPM techniques
12. Establish visual signals—reduce paperwork
13. Explore alternative flow patterns
14. Develop block layout
15. Develop detailed layout
16. Execute move
17. Select next value stream and repeat
