Lean Essentials Basic Definition
Core principles • Lean Manufacturing is to adjust process and resources to what is the minimum necessary • It is not trying to get the maximum out of the resources
Essentials • Every activity can be broken down in process or series of tasks creating value, and one or more support process
Task Analysis • Analysis of tasks reveal some are useful creating value as a result • Others are really useless, they don't create value but consume energy and resources i.e. waste • Hence, lead time is extended by these useless activities, delaying the value delivery to clients
A lean process is a now slender process who was lightened of wastes and excess inventories which made it obese and less performing
No client, if he knew, would accept to pay premium for products and/or services he "buys" to compensate inefficiency of his supplier • An inefficient supplier will not reveal his own poor performance • Competitors will, proposing better products at lower costs in faster delivery
