1 Training Pack Standard Business Roadmap Value Stream Analysis / Mapping
2 Value stream mapping is the start to any lean transformation Where you can flow you flow Where you can t flow You Pull!
3 Value Stream Mapping AGENDA! Introduction to mapping! Creating a Current State Map! Introduction To Lean Techniques! Creating a Future State Map! Using a Map as a basis for Tactical Implementation Planning
4 Definition of Value Stream Map A Value Stream Map is a diagram of all actions (both value added and non-value added) required to bring a product through from raw material to the arms of the customers Current Future Representation of Current State: reveals waste and its sources Representation of Future State: explains how lean business will flow
5 Introduction to Mapping Toyota have been benefiting from Material & Information Flow Mapping since 1940 s Taiichi Ohno could not see waste at a glance (especially across a geographical area) He developed Material & Information Flow Mapping as a standard method for mapping the flows visually Became the standard basis for designing improvements at Toyota - as a common language it became one of their business planning tools Value Stream Mapping is now utilised throughout the world, in many businesses to strategically plan
6 Principles for Creating a Value Stream Map Diagram needs to be on one sheet of paper Use the standard format for the diagram Use the standard symbols for the diagram Capture all of the data yourself Walk, Understand and Validate the process Involve as many people as practical Use paper and pencil
7 Value Stream Mapping V s Process Mapping VALUE STREAM MAPPING PROCESS MAPPING! Considers the whole value stream! Identifies non value added between processes! Improvements to system are usually significant but difficult to achieve! Enables long term strategy to be planned! Concentrates on a single process! Identifies non value added within a process! Improvements to process are usually small but very easy to implement! Enables short term tactical planning

12 Levels of Value Stream Process Start here! Single plant Multiple plants Across companies
13 Value Stream Mapping AGENDA! Introduction to mapping! Creating a Current State Map! Introduction To Lean Techniques! Creating a Future State Map! Using a Map as a basis for Tactical Implementation Planning
14 Creating a Current State Value Stream Map THE 7 STEPS 1. Customer Requirements 2. Draw Process Steps 3. Process Data 4. Inventory 5. Material Flow: Supplier to Manufacturer & Manufacturer to Customer 6. Information Driving Flow & Internal Material Flow 7. Manufacturing Lead Time & Processing Time
15 Slug Brackets Data Set Slug Brackets stamping company produces several components for Slug assembly plants. This case concerns one product family: a titanium fastening bracket subassembly in two types: one for A1 Slugs and one for A2 Slugs. These components are sent to Final Assembly Line (FAL) Customer Requirements 320 pieces per month 200 per month of Type A1 120 per month of Type A2 Customer plant operates on 2 shifts Palletised returnable tray packaging with 1 brackets in a tray and up to 10 tray s on a pallet. The customer orders in multiples of trays One daily shipment to the assembly plant by Truck Work Time 20 days in a month Two shift operation in all production departments Eight (8) hours every shift, with overtime if necessary Two 10-minute breaks during each shift Manual processes stop during breaks Unpaid Lunch-all processes continue
16 Slug Brackets Data Set Production Processes Slug Brackets process for this product family involves stamping a metal part followed by welding and subsequent assembly. The components are then staged & driven to the FAL on a daily basis. Switching between Type A1 and Type A2 brackets requires a 1 hour changeover in stamping and a 10-minute fixture change in the welding processes Coils (500ft) are supplied by the Coils R Us. Deliveries are made to Slug Brackets on Tuesdays and Thursdays by truck Slug Brackets Production Control Department Receives FAL 90/60/30 - day forecasts and enters them into MRP via EDI Issues Slug Brackets 6-week forecast to Coils R Us. via EDI secures coil steel by weekly faxed order release to Coils r Us. Receives daily firm order from the FAL via EDI Generates MRP based weekly departmental requirements based on customer order, WIP inventory levels, F/G inventory levels, and anticipated scrap and downtime Issues requirement to Coils R Us for it 500ft coils. Issues weekly build schedules to Stamping, Welding, and Assembly processes Issues daily shipping schedule to Shipping Department
17 Slug Brackets Data Set Production Processes: All processes occur in the following order and each piece goes through all processes 1.) STAMPING (The press makes parts for many SB products) 1 operator to run press Automated 10 ton press with coil(automated material feed) Cycle Time: 1 minute (60 pieces a hour) Changeover time: 1 Hour (Good piece to good piece) Machine reliability: 85% Observed inventory: 5 Days of coils before stamping 150 pieces of Type A1 finished stampings 24 pieces of Type A2 finished stampings 2.) SPOT WELD WORKSTATION 1 (Dedicated to this product family) Manual process with 1 operator Cycle Time: 39 minutes Changeover time: 10 minutes (Fixture change) Reliability: 100% Observed inventory: 36 pieces of Type A1 after process; 6 pieces of Type A2 3.) SPOT WELD WORKSTATION 2 (Dedicated to this product family) Manual process with 1 operator Cycle Time: 46 minutes Changeover time: 10 minutes (Fixture change) Reliability: 80% 3.) CONT D Observed inventory: 6 pieces of type A1 before spot weld 2; 16 pieces of Type A1after spot weld; 18 pieces of Type A2. 4.) ASSEMBLY WORKSTATION 1 (Dedicated to this product family) Manual process with 1 operator Cycle Time: 62 minutes Changeover time: non Reliability: 100% Observed inventory: 42 pieces of Type A1 6 pieces of Type A2 5.) ASSEMBLY WORKSTATION 2 (Dedicated to this product family) Manual process with 1 operator Cycle Time: 40 minutes Changeover time: none Reliability: 100% Observed finished goods inventory in warehouse: 27 pieces of Type A1 14 pieces of Type A2 6.) SHIPPING DEPARTMENT Removes parts form finished goods warehouse and stages them for Truck shipment to customer
18 Creating a Current State Value Stream Map (2) You need:! A Large Piece of Paper! A Pencil! An Eraser (absolutely)! A Ruler (maybe)! A set of detailed information / data about the company - Its Processes, Machines, Employees, Stock, WIP etc Its Suppliers Its Customers

36 Designing a Lean Flow FUTURE STATE MAPPING 2 days Product family Current state drawing Future state drawing! If you don t design a future state then! so far it s all been waste! You may not get it right first time, keep updating! Becomes the foundation for your T.I.P.! Begin with the current state! First try should be low cost no cost! Move existing kit! Make only minor purchases Plan and implementation Apply Lean techniques
37 Waste Elimination Traditional Focus Work Longer-Harder-Faster Add People or Equipment Lean Manufacturing Improve the Value Stream to Eliminate Waste Value Add Waste LEAD TIME
38 Isolated Efficiency V s System Efficiency
39 7 Wastes Not Right First Time - Scrap, Rework & Defects Over-production Inventory Over-processing 6 WAS TE Motion Transportation Waiting
40 Overproduction Definition To produce sooner, faster or in greater quantities than the absolute customer demand Manufacturing too much, too early or "Just in Case". Overproduction discourages a smooth flow of goods or services. Takes the focus off what the customer really wants. Leads to excessive inventory.
41 Takt Time Takt is a German word meaning beat (metronome) Takt time is matching the pace of production to customer demand. Adherence to Takt time will ensure customer satisfaction through 100% on time delivery Takt = total time available* total customer demand 57.5 minutes = 2(480-20) minutes 16 pieces * only management allowances are deducted:- e.g. tea breaks, lunch breaks, team meetings, clean down time Beat makes no allowances for machine inefficiency e.g. breakdowns, changeovers

51 A Lean System all Processes are Linked Process Supplier Process SHIPPING Supplier Assembly plant All Processes linked to produce exactly what their customer wants when the customer needs it. What do we do if a link breaks?
52 What do we do if a Link Breaks? Problem Solve - Maintain Flow!! Do NOT add Waste to act as a safety net and cover the problem How do we know if a link/process has broken?
53 When do we find out if a link has broken? " The amount of work produced at the Pacemaker process is to schedule. " Each part of the process is working to Takt " And are you providing a Takt image? " Monitor the process at set intervals; your management time frame! 1 week 1 day 1 shift takt 1 hour
