LEAN ACTIVE WORKSHOP Introduction Lean, reduced to the most fundamental of definitions is the purposeful elimination of waste activities. In his book, Lean Thinking, James Womack defines Lean as the process of determining what is of value and then making it flow. Lean principles began in manufacturing environments and are described in a number of ways: Lean Enterprise, Lean Manufacturing, Lean Production, Toyota Production System, etc. The development of Lean principles stem back to the time of Henry Ford and his production facilities, however, more refined principles are generally attributed to the Japanese production environment. Lean can be defined as a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement, flowing the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection. Lean applies to an entire organisation. Although individual components or building blocks of Lean may be tactical and narrowly focused, using them together and applying them cross-functionally through the entire system is required to achieve maximum effectiveness. Lean is a process philosophy with three purposes: 1. To eliminate wasted time, effort and material; 2. To provide customers with made to order products/services; and 3. To reduce cost while improving quality. www.saiglobal.com Page 12
Benefits of Implementing Lean The creation of a Lean Enterprise will deliver wealth and prosperity to an organisation. The price of a goods and services is determined by the cost to supply the product and service and the profit determined by the organisation. Hence the selling price minus the cost of supplying the goods and service determines the profit. Waste will add to the cost of supplying goods and services, hence reducing an organisation s profit margins. By creating a Lean Enterprise organisations can expect to cut production times, reduce inventories, reduce errors and scrap within any process. Typically job related injuries are also reduced. Goods and services will reach the market place far quicker and value added products will require less investment costs. This is not the end of the benefits though. When fully adopted within a business, improvements are continuous and an organisation can expect to increase productivity whilst decreasing errors and lead times. The investment required to implement Lean is insignificant to the rewards that will be gained. Consider if your competitor is doing Lean and you are not. How will you compete? Typically the benefits of implementing Lean can be broken down into three broad categories: Operational, Administrative and Strategic Improvements. Most organisations that implement Lean do so for operational improvements, primarily because of the perception that Lean only applies to the operations side of the business. However, Lean s administrative and strategic benefits are equally impressive. Some of Lean s benefits are summarised below. Operational Improvements Lead Time (Cycle Time) reduction. Productivity increase. Work In Progress Inventory reduction. Quality improved. Waste identified and removed Space utilisation improved. Customer satisfaction increased www.saiglobal.com Page 13
LEAN ACTIVE WORKSHOP Administrative Improvements Reduction in order processing errors. Streamlining of customer service functions. Reduction of paperwork in office areas. Reduced staffing demands, allowing the same number of office staff to handle larger numbers of orders. Documentation and streamlining of processing steps enabling the outsourcing of non-critical functions, allowing the company to focus their efforts on customers needs. Reduction in turnover and the resulting attrition costs. Strategic Improvements Identification of Root Causes allowing for more effective strategic planning Creation of Customer Value Proposition, providing clarity to ongoing strategy development Inclusion of staff as part of the Continuous Improvement development, allowing for key engagement Allowing for the innovation from all staff to build the business. Identifying key metrics to continue to improve and build the business Creating motivated staff to take on the new directions of the business Lean requires A different way of thinking A different way of looking at the organisation s processes A different way of looking at everything we do Recognising that we have to make changes www.saiglobal.com Page 14
Activity Barriers Objective: To determine barriers to effectively implementing Lean in an organization. Introduction: Form teams, then in your team discuss and record whether there are likely to be any barriers to the successful implementation of Lean in an organisation. As you undertake this activity consider organisational culture; executive; management; people; implementation as well as other perspectives. Task: Develop a list of barriers to implementing Lean and present it for discussion. www.saiglobal.com Page 15
LEAN ACTIVE WORKSHOP Where to Begin Stephen R. Covey gave the best advice on where to begin Start with the end in mind. Only when the executive vision of Lean is clear will it be possible to commence a course of action. Successful implementation strategies have shown that having good leaders with a sound knowledge of Lean who can quickly and effectively commence building a culture of continuous improvement on a day-to-day basis is a positive start. The sequence of events that must be followed for a successful implementation are: 1. Understanding of Lean. 2. Ongoing commitment. 3. Initial Application areas identified as pilots 4. Resources made available. 5. JDI. Base your management decisions on a long-term philosophy, even at the expense of short-term financial goals Toyota 4P Model www.saiglobal.com Page 18
Overview of the Five Principles 1. The Customer Defines Value Value is defined from the perspective of the final customer/end user. Value is expressed in terms of a specific service or product, which defines the customer s needs at a specific price and at a specific time. 2. Eliminate Waste Identify the value stream. Create a map of the current state and the future state of the value stream. Identify and categorise all forms of waste in the current state and eliminate it. 3. The Customer Establishes Pull The customer will pull products from the organisation as they need them, thus eliminating the need for a sales forecast. 4. Involve and Empower People Who Add Value Use empowered teams to create value and eliminate waste. 5. Total Cost is the Ultimate Performance Metric The promise of wealth and prosperity can only be achieved using total cost as the driving measure. www.saiglobal.com Page 19
