Getting Started with Lean Process Management

Transcription

1 Getting Started with Lean Process Management Hi-Tec Exchange Conference San Francisco July 25, 2011 Missions To team with Organizational Leaders, Managers, & Employees to focus on customers & improve competitiveness, profitability, & the way business is done. The go-to organization for manufacturing & advanced technical education, best practices & resources supporting the high performance skilled workforce for Florida's manufacturing sectors. 2 1

2 Objectives Today Provide hands-on opportunity to learn & implement Lean Process Management principles & techniques Increase ability to identify Lean opportunities Emphasize importance of involvement Understand next steps Learn and have fun 3 Introductions - Your name - Your job - Lean knowledge or experience - Expectations? 4 2

3 Pre-Quiz 5 Focus of Lean Reduction of Process Cycle Time & Increasing FLOW by systematically eliminating waste in processes 6 3

4 Reduction of Cycle Time One of the most noteworthy accomplishments in keeping the price of Ford products low is the gradual shortening of the production cycle. The longer an article is in the process of manufacture and the more it is moved about, the greater is its ultimate cost. - Henry Ford, Problem-Solving Mindset You have to address employees fundamental way of thinking. - Fujio Cho Former president of Toyota 8 4

5 Three Principles of Lean Frequently forgotten resulting in failure of lean initiatives Lean is about people, not techniques Lean is a mind-set, not a toolset Lean is a journey, not a destination 9 Process A designed sequence of operations using space, material, information or other resources, to produce an outcome All work is the result of some process

6 Typical Benefits of Lean % Lead Time Reduction Productivity Increase WIP Reduction Quality Space Utilization 11 What is Waste? Waste is anything more than the minimum of equipment and tools, materials and parts, space, and time needed to add value to a product Waste is just a symptom 12 6

7 Adding Value Waste is Non-Value-Added Not something our customer is willing to pay for Occasionally, we recognize waste we can t eliminate We call that Business Necessary: Required for running the business Gov t required: FDA, FAA, USCG, etc. 13 Defects & rework Excess work in process inventory Over processing Eight Wastes Excess finished inventory Excess motion by people Waiting time Excess movement of materials & tools POS-IMPACT LLC Uninvolved minds 14 7

8 How Much Waste is in our Processes? 5% Value added Non-value added A typical process includes up to 95% non value added waste 15 Waste is Just a Symptom Revealing waste tells us we have process problems Revealing waste starts us on the road to identifying root cause problems to be resolved We must find the root causes to solve process problems to eliminate waste 16 8

9 Waste Impact on Process Capacity Productive Use of Resources: Value-Added Productive Use of Resources: Value- Added Non-Productive Use of Resources: Non- Value-Added Capacity is consumed by waste Released Capacity Eliminating waste releases capacity 17 Benefits Spun Off from Increased Flow Operating Costs Financial Returns Capacity Cash Flow 18 9

21 Inspection at the Source The product inspected by each operator before passing to next operator Each operator inspects before adding value To conduct inspection operators must be prepared: The right documentation The right training and support The right tools 41 Mistake Proofing Low-cost, reliable device or approach to prevent & detect defects Prevent production of defects Make it harder to do wrong than to do right Japanese concept : poka yoke = to avoid inadvertent errors 42 21

26 Cellular Flow We build cells to improve FLOW of Materials & Information FLOW is a direct link (information) between customer & supplier FLOW is the movement of materials triggered by customer Process inputs & outputs are balanced 52 Building a Cell We must know: Product groupings Demand on our process: Takt time The work sequence How to balance the process 53 26

27 Understand Demand on Our Process: Takt Time Takt Time = Demand rate Takt Time = Work Time Available Number of Units Sold Takt Time = 600 Seconds 60 Units = 10 Sec/Unit Cycle Time Takt Time = Minimum # of People 54 Build the Cell Use Lean concepts Small Production Lot Size (1) Flexible layout POU Visual Management Operation 5 Operation 5 Operation 6 Operation 6 Operation 4 Operation 4 Operation 1 Operation 1 Operation 3 Operation 3 Operation 2 Operation 2 Build a Virtual Cell if necessary 55 27
