History of LeanManufacturingBy Maytee Cuervo Lorena GomezLeandro MargulisTatyane Martins
History of Lean • It started in Japan at the Toyota Motor Company • 1902 Sakichi Toyoda, founder of the Toyota group, • Invented an automated loom that stopped anytime a thread broke. • Quality defects significantly decreased and one operator was able to monitor several machines at one time. • Decades later Taiichi Ohno, a production engineer at Toyota • Eliminate waste, or non-value added activities • Jidoka, JIT (just in time) • Pillars of the Toyota Production System, supported by a foundation of Heijunka (level loading) Leveraging from Toyota
THE HOUSE OF TOYOTA TPS The house of Toyota is built on three main principles, the two pillars, JIT (Just in Time) and Jidoka, and the foundation of Heijunka. These concepts will be briefly explained in this overview and gone over in more detail in the sections that follow.
TPS (Toyota Production System) THE HOUSE OF TOYOTA Stop @ Abnormality Pull Production Single Piece Flow Autonomation Takt Time Production Leveling Sequencing
What is Heijunka? Heijunka is the process of level loading and sequencing the timing of production. • There are two main elements of Heijunka • Leveling: Distribute the workload over time for it to be homogeneous. • Sequencing: The order in which the parts on the line or in the cell are processed.
What is JIT? JIT (Just in time) is a theory of production characterized by producing according to TAKT time(1), single piece flow(2), and pulling(3) of material from upstream process while keeping inventory at minimum, established levels. • There are three main elements of JIT • TAKT Time • Available production time / required production (forecast & actual demand) • Single Piece Flow • 3. Pull Manufacturing System
What is Jidoka? Machines that have “human intelligence” built into them, giving them the ability to shut down automatically in the case of an abnormality to stop defective products from flowing into the next process. Jidoka measures are incorporated in the assembly process by use of Andons and Pin-Pan-Pon; stopping when abnormality is detected. • There are two main elements of Jidoka • Stop at Every Abnormality • Autonomation … Human intellegence built into machines or systems
What is Lean? • Lean production focuses on eliminating waste in processes (i.e. the waste of work in progress and finished good inventories) • Lean production is about expanding capacity by reducing costs and shortening cycle times between order and ship date • Lean is about understanding what is important to the customer • Lean production is not about eliminating people
Defining Value • Value Added Activity • Any activity that changes the form, fit, or function of materials or information to meet customer requirements —OR — • Something customers are willing to pay for • Non-Value-Added Activity • All other actions and unwanted features are by definition —WASTE adding no value to the customer —simply raise costs in our business Before After Time Time Non-Value Added Work Value Added Work Eliminate Non-Value-Added Activity
Understanding and Eliminating Waste “Begin by learning the FUNDAMENTALS. If you learn the wrong ideas about fundamental matters, you are likely to continue to make mistakes later, no matter how enthusiastic you are about implementingimprovements.” • The Seven Types of Waste… • Defective Parts • Overproduction • Inventory • Motion • Processing Transactions • Transportation • Waiting Waste Exists In Every Process…Eliminate It
1. Defects • Creating and correcting defects robs resources, “chokes” flow, and must be minimized or eliminated. • Examples: • Wrong parts from supplier • Rework
2. Over-Production • Consumes valuable resources not immediately needed. • Hides other process problems (bad quality, poor scheduling, poor delivery). • Builds inventory not needed. • Examples: • Assembling parts ahead of schedule while delinquent parts wait • Working on the wrong parts at the wrong time • Making more parts than your customer needs
Ties up capital. Requires moving. Difficulty in finding material. Reduces customer responsiveness. Examples: Inventory on shelves, racks, and floors Long queues in service operations High levels of safety stock Large deposits of material at each operation Large delivery quantities instead of frequent deliveries (in or out) 3. Excess Inventory • Takes valuable space. • Obsolescence. • Losses due to damage. • Multiplies quality problems.
4. Unnecessary Motion • Ergonomic concerns • Labor efficiency • Safety • Wasted cycle time Before After
5. Excessive Processing • Consumes valuable resources. • Creates delay. • Opportunity for more defects. • Examples: • Unnecessary approvals • Processing beyond specification limits or customer requirements • Unnecessary record retention
6. Transportation and Conveyance • Consumes valuable resource. • Takes time. • Safety concerns. • Capital expenditures. • Increases damage. • Examples: • Using crane to move material • Using forklift truck to move material • Moving material/tools to point of use • Mailing of documents • Unnecessary personnel travel
7. Waiting • Adds to cycle. • Consumes valuable resources. • Increases work in process. • Slows response to customer. • Examples: • Waiting for shared equipment • Operations not balanced, waiting for previous operation • Idle time due to lack of “standard” operations • Waiting for decisions (dispositions, inspection , materials…)
Sorting Waste Quick Reference Guide
Eliminate the Waste, It is Non-Value Added • ASK YOURSELF — Is this operation something that the customer is willing to pay for? • BETTER YET — Does this operation change the Form, Fit, or Function of the part? - Deburring - Cleaning - Inspection - Unnecessary approvals NON-VALUE-ADDED OPERATIONS … examples Reduce Non-Value Added Operations Without Incurring Unreasonable Costs
Summary Page • Lean has defined elements to work towards Elimination of waste in a process • Lean is eliminating waste • Waste is defined as Non-value activities • Non-value activities are those which the customer would not care about
