Is Lean/TQM Just Another Buzzword?


• No, this
  philosophy has
  tremendous
  merit and is
  well proven in
  the industrry
  and the RB-
  ERP customer
  base
                                         2
Lean in a Nutshell
• Specify VALUE from the customer’s view
• Identify the VALUE STREAM – sequence of steps that
  add value for a product
• Eliminate Non-Value Added Steps
• Make value FLOW without interruption
• Let the customer PULL value from the producer
• Continually strive for PERFECTION

How did it Come to This?
Lean Manufacturing - APICS
 •   Lean is a philosophy of production that emphasizes the minimization of the
     amount of all the resources (including time) used in the various activities of the
     enterprise

 •   Lean embodies a set of principles and practices that reduce cost through the
     relentless removal of waste and through the simplification of all manufacturing
     and support processes.

 •   Lean involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design,
     production, supply chain management, and dealing with the customers.

 •   Lean producers employ teams of multi-skilled workers at all levels of the
     organization and use highly flexible, increasingly automated machines to produce
     volumes of products in potentially enormous variety.

                       Kanban Definition
    The Japanese word Kanban, loosely translated,
    means card, billboard, or sign, but other
    signaling devices such as colored golf balls have
    also been used. The term is often used
    synonymously for the specific scheduling system
    developed and used by the Toyota Corporation
    in Japan.

•    Kanban is a method of Just-in-Time production
    that uses standard containers or lot sizes with a
    single card attached to each.

•   It is a pull system in which work centers signal
    with a card or other device that they wish to
    withdraw parts from feeding operations or
    suppliers.

Push vs. Pull
•   Push – Produce to forecast of          •   Pull – Produce ONLY the necessary
    anticipated demand                         units in the necessary quantities at
     – Excessive inventory (stock out of       the necessary times
       what’s needed)
                                                – Simple – manage by eye
     – Large batches
                                                – Responsive to minor changes
     – Inability to keep pace with real-
       time orders                              – Effective at continuous inventory
     – Inefficient ops – high costs               reduction

    Lean Manufacturing -APICS • Lean is a philosophy of production that emphasizes the minimization of the amount of all the resources (including time) used in the various activities of the enterprise • Lean embodies a set of principles and practices that reduce cost through the relentless removal of waste and through the simplification of all manufacturing and support processes. • Lean involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, supply chain management, and dealing with the customers. • Lean producers employ teams of multi-skilled workers at all levels of the organization and use highly flexible, increasingly automated machines to produce volumes of products in potentially enormous variety. 6

    Kanban Definition The Japanese word Kanban, loosely translated, means card, billboard, or sign, but other signaling devices such as colored golf balls have also been used. The term is often used synonymously for the specific scheduling system developed and used by the Toyota Corporation in Japan. • Kanban is a method of Just-in-Time production that uses standard containers or lot sizes with a single card attached to each. • It is a pull system in which work centers signal with a card or other device that they wish to withdraw parts from feeding operations or suppliers. – APICS 18
  • 19.
    Push vs. Pull • Push – Produce to forecast of • Pull – Produce ONLY the necessary anticipated demand units in the necessary quantities at – Excessive inventory (stock out of the necessary times what’s needed) – Simple – manage by eye – Large batches – Responsive to minor changes – Inability to keep pace with real- time orders – Effective at continuous inventory – Inefficient ops – high costs reduction • Emergency changeover • Product teardowns • Expediting – Hot list 19

Editor's Notes

  • #22 There are three types of kanban circuits: Production kanban: A card or other signal for indicating that items should be made either for use or to replace some items removed from stock. Transport kanban (Move kanban): A card or other signal for indicating that a specific number of units of a particular item are to be taken from a source (usually an outbound stock point) to a point of use (usually an inbound stock point). Supplier kanban: A card or other signal for indicating that a specific number of units of a particular item should be purchased from a supplier.
  • #23 The flow starts with a demand of 10 SP-4 from customer order. The parts are delivered and a container at inventory location END is empty. A replenishment request is created for 10 SP-4 that automatically creates a production schedule. Now there is an empty container at inventory location SUB. A replenishment request is created for 10 C-40 that automatically creates a Shop order. Now there is an empty container at inventory location RAWM. A replenishment request is created for 10 C-400 that automatically creates a Transport Task from PICKING to SUB. Now there is an empty container at inventory location PICKING. A replenishment request is created for 10 C-400 that automatically creates a Purchase Order.
