Webinar On Lean In Non Manufacturing Environmentsfertuckda
The set of "lean" methods and tools, based on the Toyota Production System, now so widely applied in manufacturing organizations throughout the world, can also be adapted to non-manufacturing environments. Service, health care, construction, back office, sales, and financial organizations have all successfully used lean methods to streamline their repetitive processes by focusing them on the customer and by systematically eliminating waste.
You will learn how to stabilize, standardize, and simplify any set of processes using the power of the Toyota Production System. The presentation will cover: the importance of leadership and team-building to implementing change effectively; defining real value; the categories of waste and how to recognize them; defining work flow to uncover waste; standardizing work; and implementing continuous improvement. You will learn about the major lean techniques and tools such as: 5S, Kaizen events, Standard Work, just-in-time, Value Stream Mapping, and waste audits. You will also learn how to use these methods in concert to "lean up" organizational and cross-functional processes.
By the end of this presentation, you will be able to recognize whether the application of these methods could be of benefit to your organization. Challenge yourself to take a fresh look at how you are doing your work.
Value stream mapping is a practical and highly effective way to learn to see and resolve disconnects, redundancies, and gaps in how work gets done.
This VSM project template helps you and your project team to put together a "storyboard" for effective presentation to your key stakeholders. It includes four key phases:

2) Create a current state map
3) Develop a future state map
4) Develop an implementation plan
This document consists of a VSM project template in Powerpoint format and a set of Excel templates comprising VSM charter, Results table, Implementation Plan and common VSM icons.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Lean journey. A description of what we have learned and done over the last few years. We are just getting started, but already seeing good results from Lean and our efforts to become a learning organization. From Kaizen, to Kata, to Coaching, our focus on people has remained constant. In order to be our best we need our best out of our staff.

3. About US
We have advised and implemented change in manufacturing,
distribution and inventory management for a combined 50+ years.
We have a track record that includes 15 turnarounds in
manufacturing and distribution companies. Our approach is: keep it
simple and teach and implement the fundamentals. We will make
sure that your customers are happy with deliveries and you have less
invested in capital with higher market share and profits.
Our methods are:
“Hands On”: where we occupy the position and make the
changes in people and processes necessary. Then we help you
fill the position.
Assessment : where we analyze, propose solutions, and teach

5. “85% of the reasons for failure to meet customer
requirements are related to deficiencies in
systems and processes… rather than the
employee. The role of management is to change
the process rather than badgering individuals to
do better.”
- W. Edwards Deming
O&S Solutions
6. Some of the common barriers that can prevent
you from success are:
Factory Flow
Lead times too long and inflexible
High labor costs
Poor flow of materials

Labor not trained
Warehouse/Distribution Center issues
Lack of inventory accuracy
No simple visual stocking methods
Flow of product not well defined
Freight issues
Inventory Management Issues
Demand and supply planning out of sync
Unpredictable supply chain because inventory isn’t stratified with
appropriate minimums and lot sizes
Excess or wrong inventory
Incorrect bills-of-material
O&S Solutions
8. Flexible and Lean Factory
Schedule based on customer/distribution center needs
Produce units with like processes together
Establish a Sequence of Events and Takt times for units in
order to establish consistency and predictable results
Teach employees the principles of flow manufacturing and the
specifics of their job
Well trained employees with consistent and predictable
processes will ensure great quality
Implement/amend plant layout with a flow and space for
material presentation to production
Stock common parts at point-of-use with Kanban
replenishment
O&S Solutions
9. Organized Distribution Center/Warehouse
“Keep It Simple”
Efficient layout optimizing space for receiving and shipping
Inventory located in accordance with frequency of use and size
Bulky items stored separately
Slow movers stored separately
