2 Lean Manufacturing What is Lean Manufacturing? A philosophy which shortens the timeline between the customer order and the shipment by eliminating waste which cause waiting and queues. The concepts can be applied up and down the Value Chain to create a Lean Enterprise LAKRE

3 Lean Manufacturing Lean Manufacturing Where are we implementing Lean Manufacturing? LAKRE

4 Lean Manufacturing Lean Manufacturing Why do we need Lean processes? Overall TOP 4 Customer buying priorities: Price/Value Customer only pays for what is value to meet their requirements. Product design is critical. Quality Quality is expected. It s the ante. Many customers no longer perceive quality as a positive differentiator (only negative) On-Time Delivery Customers want to do business with reliable suppliers. It costs the customer money if we re late (and sometimes early). Key for contractors & project orders! Lead Time SPEED to the customer is THE differentiator in the MRO and service world! Small P/D ratio requires contractors to forecast less. LAKRE

16 Lean Implementation Stages Stage 1 Define product families that have similar market expectations, process flows, and engineering content By product family, establish the Lean vision and operations strategy Educate and involve everyone Stage 2 Map the current state process material & information flows Establish baseline metrics for lead time, On-Time-Delivery, productivity, quality, etc. by product family Develop the future state, an ACTION PLAN and a schedule for implementation! LAKRE

17 Lean Implementation Stages Stages 3-5 From the future state action plan/schedule, start to apply Lean tools Link processes together to minimize queues and establish flow Identify and eliminate/minimize waste in our processes Keep materials and information moving from start to finish Operate processes to customer demand vs. MRP Improvement focus on speed to the customer rather than speed my operation/process Improve and perfect the process flow Link customers and suppliers to our processes LAKRE

18 Start By Linking Processes What are linked processes? Linked processes are driven by actual consumption and WIP is controlled by sequenced & synchronized replenishment signals Why do we link processes? To generate desired flow, process steps must be linked together Isolated islands working efficiently may not come together to make a product Component and subassembly flows must be synchronized to satisfy the customer LAKRE

19 Tools to Pull & Perfect - Value Stream Mapping What is a Value Stream? All the actions required to bring a product through the material, information, and resource flows essential to fulfilling every customer s order What is Value Stream Mapping? A tool that provides a pictorial look to help understand the process see the value and envision a future state. LAKRE

20 Tools to Pull & Perfect - Value Stream Mapping Why Map the Value Stream? Shows the linkage (or lack linkage) between information flow and the material flow Develops the ability to see the total process flow and relationships beyond the single process level Formulates a picture the total process that all levels the company can understand how each group fits into the total process Helps identify the sources overproduction & other waste Helps establish priorities based on barriers to overall process flow Forms the basis the implementation plan LAKRE

21 Tools to Pull & Perfect - Kaizen Blitz Kaizen Blitz Events Aggressive, short time frame team improvement projects Small focused team attacks a specific problem and implements improvement during 3-5 day focused event Areas requiring kaizen events should be identified from value stream map Isolated kaizen events alone will not move dollars to the bottom line in a major way To gain and sustain full benefit the kaizen tool, there must be a vision the Future State flow and understanding how kaizen will help achieve Future State LAKRE

22 Value Stream Vision Strategic Business Plan Customer to supplier (whole value chain) For developing new, or improving old and existing products Includes all information flows and delays Includes all material flows and delays Value Stream Mapping Process Value stream your product families Current state(baseline, Identify Opportunities) Future state (Lean plan) Prioritize improvement plans to get there Measures to assess your journey LAKRE

23 Value Stream Mapping What are the benefits? - Visualize the entire material & information flow a product family (Current State) - See the sources waste - Identify improvement opportunities - Create a vision an ideal or at a minimum improved state - Focus Priorities - Prioritize the opportunities into a door-todoor implementation plan (Future State).the expected results being dramatic improvements in cost, quality, & throughput in both manufacturing and business processes - Ties together lean concepts and techniques helps avoid cherry-picking - Measure - Match the improvement plan against your Strategic objectives LAKRE

24 Value Stream Mapping Business Model Approaches Build to Stock Generally high volume/low mix products requiring very short lead-times Assemble to Order Platform type products standard components with some variation that can be configured to order Build to Order Generally highly engineered products with high component & design variation Combination techniques.abc LAKRE

25 Determine Product Families First, select the product line based on Strategic Implications.Growth, Market share, pritability etc Group by Similarities : Similar Product / components Engineering content Products that pass through similar processing steps Similar Work Content (ABC stratification) Similar Market Expectations LAKRE

26 Value Stream Mapping Current State Map At minimum, Main or Key processes Identify similar processing needs Identify process bottlenecks Determine work capacity needs Analyze needs (Takt time) LAKRE

28 Value Stream Mapping What do we need to know about the upstream processes? Key Process data - Data collection box Understanding Work - Requires data collection - Understand SEQUENCE work - Understand cycles - Capture waiting time LAKRE

29 Add the information flow to the Current State Supplier Forecast Monthly Orders Production Control MRP Forecast Weekly Orders Customer Weekly Schedules Shaft Mach Daily Sched Assembly Test Shipping Hsg. Mach LAKRE

30 How to Use the Current-State Drawing Improve the whole instead optimizing parts See & understand the flow material and information STOP -- Do not go fix it Envision the Future State remove wasted steps, get remaining steps to flow, let the customer pull LAKRE

31 Value Stream Mapping The Future State Map THE MANUFACTURING GOAL: To get each process to make only what the next process needs when it needs it - by linking all processes together by either continuous flow or pull from the customer back to raw material - resulting in the shortest possible lead time, highest quality, and lowest cost. LAKRE

32 Mapping the Future-State Design a lean value stream. Don t wait until the current-state map is perfect Begin by drawing on the current-state map First iteration assume existing product designs, process technologies and plant locations are given Future-state should continuously evolve into the ideal state Forms foundation for the implementation plan--like a blueprint Always need a future state and a plan to get there LAKRE

33 Key Questions for Future State 1) What are your key performance gaps from both a Customer and Supplier perspective? 2) Re-assess your business model Should you build to stock, assemble to order, or make to order, or in some combination? 3) What is your Takt time? 4) Where can we continuously flow production? 5) Where will you use Supermarket pull systems in order to trigger and control production upstream processes? 6) Where in the production chain will you schedule production(the pacemaker Process)? 7) How will you level production at the pacemaker Process? 8) What Increment work will you release and take away from the pacemaker process? 9) What process improvements will be necessary to achieve your future state design ie setup reduction, kaizen, increased uptime? LAKRE

34 Key Questions for Future State Where can we continuously flow production? Continuous flow refers to producing one piece at a time. It is the MOST efficient way to produce. If the processes are dedicated and the work content can be balanced to Takt time then continuous flow may be possible BATCH To FLOW Raw ABC ABC ABC XYC XY XY A ABC ABC ABC Raw A X B X C Fin BEH BE BE B C ABC ABC ABC Fin LAKRE

35 Planning to Achieve the Future State What s the process? Develop a prioritized implementation plan with measurable goals and timelines. Within each loop strive to: - develop a continuous flow based on takt time - establish a pull system to control production - introduce leveling - practice kaizen to continually eliminate waste, reduce batch sizes, shrink supermarkets, & extend the range continuous flow LAKRE

36 Planning to Achieve the Future State Where do you start? Divide your value stream map into segments or loops - the pacemaker loop - the various manufacturing supply loops - the planning / scheduling loop - the supplier loop Start with the pacemaker loop, follow with the critical path loop LAKRE

41 Summary Production paced to customer demand rate using Balanced work content and linked processes Daily sequential schedules Synchronized flows for subassemblies and components /Pull/Perfect Remove barriers to flow line scheduling vs. Work center loading Progressive Improvements vs. Quick Fix Question the current situation - don t make excuses. Question why we do what we do. Is there a better way? NOTHING CHANGES, IF NOTHING CHANGES! Focus on removing barriers to achieve single piece flow Look for things that cause batching which lead to uncontrolled queues! Look at the WHOLE process vs. optimized / efficient individual operations LAKRE

42 Lean Six Sigma Any Questions?? A couple final thoughts - Insanity is doing the same things over and over again - and expecting different results. Don t put f until tomorrow what you can do today. It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. - W. Edwards Deming LAKRE
