Competition 2
Competing for Resources (Capital, Raw Material, Energy, HR) Customer Markets Technology Innovation 3
Areas of competition Cost Quality Delivery Flexibility Volume 4
Flexible adaptation is key Cost Cutting Actions Demand Capacity Waste! 5
Sources of Flexibility People People are the most flexible element of the System They are able to handle Exceptions, Changes, Problems Continuously improving and learning Make Decisions Processes Should help to adapt to changes Standardized Processes help to manage General situations Exceptions Should be continuously improved PDCA Cycle, Continuous feedback on performance 6
Process Flexibility Supplier Order Quantity Reliability Availability Variety Predictability Changeability Customer Procurement Inbound Logistics Component Production Subcomponent Assembly Assembly Distribution Where is the bottle neck? Which is the Pace Maker (Controlled) Process? Where should be inventory? How much inventory? How much does it cost? To dedicate resources? Not serving your customer? Serve the Customer later? To hold inventory? When do I get the money? 7
LEAN - TOYOTA Sources of competitiveness 8
Toyota Production System Shigeo Shingo Taichi Ohno All we doing is looking at the timeline from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing that time by removing non value added wastes. Taichi Ohno 9
Lean approach Lead time of order fulfillment Material received Material ordered Lead time of transformation system Product delivered Lead time from order to payment Lead time from cash to cash Order Material payment 10 Payment
5 Principles of Lean Management 1. Specify value from the standpoint of the end customer by product family. 2. Identify all the steps in the value stream for each product family, eliminating whenever possible those steps that do not create value. 3. Make the value-creating steps occur in tight sequence so the product will flow smoothly toward the customer. 4. As flow is introduced, let customers pull value from the next upstream activity. 5. Pursue perfection. As value is specified, value streams are identified, wasted steps are removed, and flow and pull are introduced, begin the process again and continue it until a state of perfection is reached in which perfect value is created with no waste. Value Value stream Flow Pull Perfection (Daniel Jones, James Womack) 11

The interrelationship between the use of different methods The application of tools is clustered around two philosophies Lean Management and TQM. At those companies, where the Lean is not applied in a structured way yet, but the TQM philosophy is strongly applied, the Stability, 0 defects, continuous improvement and people involvement - flexible workforce methods are applied on a higher level. At those companies, where the Lean Management is applied in a systematic way, besides the previous 4 areas, the strategic approach, Pull principle, and, Continuous Flow methods are also applied on a higher level. The following methods can be applied effectively independently (without the use of other tools): Supplier Development Systematic Problem Solving, Controlled and documented processes, TPM, operator trainings. 21
Correlation of the results (performance measures) and the methods Sales/revenue Inventory turnover Lean implementation program, JIT production scheduling, One-piece flow, FIFO inventory handling, Line balancing, Synchronized production, SMED, POKA-YOKE 5S. Lean implementation program Supplier development, JIT production scheduling, Kanban System One-piece flow Supermarket Line Balancing Synchronized production, SMED, Andon. So, if you want to improve inventory turnover, the methods of the strategic approach, Pull principle and Continuous flow should be applied better. 22
