Chapter Objectives Be able to: • Describe what JIT/Lean is and differentiate between the Lean philosophy and kanban systems. • Discuss the Lean perspective on waste and describe the eight major forms of waste, or muda, in an organization. • Discuss the Lean perspective on inventory and describe how a kanban system helps control inventory levels and synchronize the flow of goods and materials across a supply chain. • Describe how the concepts of the Lean supply chain and Lean Six Sigma represent natural extensions of the Lean philosophy. • Explain how a two-card kanban system works. • Calculate the number of kanban cards needed in a simple production environment. • Show how MRP and kanban can be linked together and illustrate the process using a numerical example. © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036

Post World War II • Growing and rebuilding world economy • Demand > Supply • US Manufacturing: • Higher volumes • Capital substitution • “Breakthrough” improvements • “The production problem has been solved” © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
View from Japan • Very little capital • War-ravaged workforce • Little space • Poor or no raw materials • Lower demand levels • Little access to latest technologies U.S. methods would not work © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Japanese Approach to Operations • Maximize use of people • Simplify first, add technology second • Gradual, but continuous improvement • Minimize waste (including poor quality) Led to the development of the approach known as Just-in-Time © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036

JIT Goals(throughout the supply chain) • Eliminate disruptions • Make the system flexible • Reduce setup times and lead times • Minimize inventory • Eliminate waste © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Waste Definition: Waste is ‘anything other than the minimum amount of equipment, materials, parts, space, and workers’ time, which are absolutely essential to add value to the product.’ — Shoichiro Toyoda President, Toyota © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Forms of Waste:(‘muda’ in Japanese) • Overproduction • Waiting • Unnecessary movement • Wrong process • Unnecessary inventory • Excess motion • Defects • Underutilization of employees © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Inventory as a Waste • Requires more storage space • Requires tracking and counting • Increases movement activity • Hides yield, scrap, and rework problems • Increases risk of loss from theft, damage, obsolescence © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Lean Perspective Process of reducing inventory leads to reduction of the other “wastes” and exposes problems in order of severity (‘water and rocks’ analogy) © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Lean Six Sigma & Supply Chain in Lean Environment • Six Sigma methodology combines well with Lean goals, helps address the ‘rocks’ as they become exposed when reducing inventory. • Supply chain choices affect many of the ‘wastes’. Supplier variances such as lead time and quality create need for safety stock — a direction opposite reduction of inventory goals © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036

Kanban card: Signal to produce When a container is opened by Workcenter B, its kanban card is removed and sent back to Workcenter A. This is a signal to Workcenter A to produce another box of parts. © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Empty Box: Signal to pull Empty box sent back. Signal to pull another full box into Workcenter B. Question: How many kanban cards here? Why? © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
How Many Kanbans? y = number of kanban cards D = demand per unit of time T = lead time C = container capacity X = safety factor © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Example • Hourly demand = 300 units • Lead time = 3 hours • Each container holds 300 units • Assuming no variation in lead-time or demand (x = 0): y = (300 3) / 300 = 3 kanban cards © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
