2. Definition
• Aiming to compete for quality on a world wide market and
becoming competitive in global market
• A position of international manufacturing
excellence, achieved by developing a culture based on
factors such as continuous improvement, problem
prevention, zero defect tolerance, customer-driven just-in-
time production, and total quality management

5. Check Points for WCM (Contd…)
• Timely delivery
• Knowledge of key customers and competitors
• Authority and empowerment to staff
• Elimination of central storage of direct materials and supply
of purchased material to the point of use without routine
inspection
• Training and development of existing employees
24 July 2012 5

6. Check Points for WCM (Contd…)
• Reduction of set - up time and economical batch sizes
• Active policy to help keep work areas clean, tidy and
uncluttered
• Culture of continuous improvement in customer service
• Mechanism to quickly and effectively receive and evaluate
suggestions from all employees
24 July 2012 6

7. Objectives of Global Production
• Reduce costs ( labor, taxes, tariffs etc.)
• Reduce risks ( foreign exchange)
• Improve supply chain
• Provide better goods and services
• Attract new markets
• Learn to improve operations
• Attract and retain global talent

9. Kaizen
• Continuous improvement involving everyone
• Business strategy involves working together to make
improvements without large capital investments
• Setting doable, replicable standards and then continually
improving those standards
• It is not all about incentives and rewards—it is about the
support given to front-liners to help them improve the way
work is done
24 July 2012 9

10. Lean Manufacturing (Contd...)
• Lean Manufacturing is a Team Based continuous
improvement process designed for long term maximization
of company resources
• Lean Manufacturing is an approach to achieve
manufacturing excellence based upon the continuous
elimination of waste
• Waste is defined as activities that do not add value to the
product
24 July 2012 10

11. Lean Manufacturing (Contd...)
• Lean Manufacturing utilizes techniques and principles that
improve efficiencies of value added activities
• Value Added Activities : Transform raw materials and
information into parts or products
• Non - Value Added Activities : Consume resources that do
not contribute to the physical changes of the product
24 July 2012 11

12. 7 Wastes
• Over production
• Waiting
• Transportation
• Unnecessary inventory
• Inappropriate processing
• Excess motion
• Defects

15. Characteristics of Lean Manufacturing
• Waste Elimination
• TAKT Time / Line Balancing
• Point of Use / Kanban
• Error Proofing
• Inspection
• Visual Factory
• Flexible Low Cost Automation
24 July 2012 15

16. Results of Lean Manufacturing
• Reduced Costs
• Reduced inventory
• Reduced WIP
• Reduced Cycle Times
• Reduced Scrap
• Improved Quality
• Increased Productivity
• Improved Utilization of Space
24 July 2012 16

17. Flexible Manufacturing
• Manufacturing system which allows flexibility into the
system to respond to changes.
• Two types
- Machine Flexibility
- Routing Flexibility
24 July 2012 17

18. Advantages and Disadvantages of FM
Advantages
• Reduced manufacturing time
• Lower cost per unit produced
• Greater labor productivity
• Greater machine efficiency
• Improved quality
• Increased system reliability
Disadvantages
• Cost to implement
• Substantial pre-planning required
24 July 2012 18

19. Just In Time Manufacturing
• Just in Time manufacturing is a systems approach to
developing and operating a manufacturing system
• JIT means making what the market wants, when it wants it.
• JIT has been found to be so effective that it increases
productivity, work performance and product quality, while
saving costs
24 July 2012 19

20. Just In Time Characteristics
• Accurate demand forecast
• Low inventories
• Small lot sizes
• Quick / low cost setups
• Multifunctional workers
• Reliable vendors
• Problem Solving
• Continuous improvement

26. Kanban
• Meaning – Signboard is a concept related to lean and just-
in-time (JIT) production
• Kanban is one means through which JIT is achieved
• Kanban cards are a key component of Kanban that uses
cards to signal the need to move materials within a
manufacturing or production facility or move materials
from an outside supplier to the production facility
