1 - MODULE LFT101 - LEAN FLOW TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY FOR YOUR FUTURE

2 STRATEGY FOR YOUR FUTURE PURPOSE Lean Flow Technology Definition. Elimination of Wasting. Benefits. Market Share. Margin. Pay-Back. Traditional Organization Vs. Process Organization. Measurable Results. 20 Major Steps. Quality Productivity Inventory Turnover. Transition to Lean Flow Technology Roadmap.

3 An Advanced Manufacturing Technology based upon a Production Flow Process that Pulls Material into and through the Process in Response to Customer Demand. LFT Precursor to "Business Reengineering"

4 LEAN FLOW ATw #Op = TAKT TECHNOLOGY TAKT = ATw = H(S) Σ Dc Σ ( Dc x AT ) Σ Dc

5 ELIMINATION OF WASTING ELIMINATION OF NON-VALUE ADDED ACTIVITIES NON-VALUE ADDED : If it doesn't add value in the Eyes of Customer. We should target it for ELIMINATION.

6 7 TYPES OF WASTES 1. Overproduction ahead of Demand. 2. Waiting for the next process step or information. 3. Transporting materials unnecessarily. 4. Inventory that is more than bare minimum. 5. Over Processing. 6. Motion by Employees that is unnecessarily. 7. Producing non-conforming Parts.

7 BUT THE MUST STUPID IS 8. Not Utilizing the Talent and Knowledge of HUMAN RESOURCES.

8 CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION "Promise the Best, and Deliver What is Promised" Our Customers. Our Investors. Our Partners. Our Associates.

9 METHOD OR MAGIC? LFT is a Method. LFT provides a Focus. LFT provides at the Management Commitment an Opportunity for Change.

10 " TO BOOST PROFITS" Reduces Cycle Time. Improves Flexibility. Improves Quality. Improves Productivity. Reduces Rework and Scrap. Improves Response Time. Reduces Space. Reduces Investment. Reduces Inventory. MARKET SHARE GAINS MARGIN IMPROVEMENT PAY-BACK IMPROVEMENT

13 TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM LEAN FLOW TECHNOLOGY Total Business Strategy. Designed for all Discrete and Process Industries. Driven by Actual Demand. Adjust Product Mix Daily. Carry some Raw Materials for flexibility with Minimal In-process and Finished Goods. Zero Working Capital. TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM Production System. Designed for Paced Lines Automobile Industry from the 70 s & 80 s. Driven by Forecasts. Changing the Product Mix Requires Line Design Changes and Re-training. Focus to Raw Material with massive expensive Finished Goods. Just-In-Time Raw Materials.

14 HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATION LIMITATIONS Focused on Tasks and Activities. Hierarchical Structure vs. Process. Slow and Unresponsive.

15 PROCESS ORGANIZATION Enabling Process Human Resources Systems Finance Legal LFT PROCESSES Strategy Development Order Acquisition Order Fulfillment Customer Service Idea Concept Proposal Order Inquiry Concept Product Order Payment Resolution CUSTOMERS Centers of Excellence "Coach" Engineering "Coach" Financial "Coach" Marketing "Coach" Manufacturing

16 TRADITIONAL ORGANIZATION ORDER FULFILLMENT PROCESS Marketing Finance Manufacturing Order Entry Finance Credit Check Logistic Scheduling Inventory Availability Invoice Collections Shipping Production

17 LFT ORGANIZATION ORDER FULFILLMENT PROCESS Metrics : External : Quality. On-Time Delivery. Internal : Cycle Time. Costs. Inventory Turns. ONE PROCESS LFT Order Entry Credit Check Manufacturing SUB-PROCESSES Shipping Invoicing Collections CUSTOMERS

18 PROVIDES Step by Step Process. Mathematical Basis. Not subjective. One Manufacturing Language. Customers Lean Technology. Flexible System to make Any Model, Any Day, to Customers Demand. Mixed-Model Manufacturing Power. Measurable Results. TAKT = H(S) Σ Dc Fully Supported by ORACLE Flow Manufacturing (R.11). Demand Management, Mixed-Model Line Design & Balancing, Production Execution and Kanban Management. ORACLE Flow Manufacturing is a registered trademark of Oracle Corporation

19 MEASURABLE RESULTS Reduction in Injuries-Rate : 10-15%. Reduction in Non-Quality Costs : 5-20%. On-Time Delivery Improvement : 98%. Reduction in Work In Process : >70%. Space Savings : 25-35%. Capacity or Productivity Improvement : 25-50%. Reduction in Cycle Time : >60%. "Double Digit" Inventory Turns. Flexible Employees, Trained and Certified.
