The document discusses lean production and just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing. It defines lean production as minimizing waste and inventory to produce output with minimal lead time and cost. Key aspects of lean covered include the 5S methodology, eliminating sources of variability, pull-based JIT systems using kanban cards, and the goals and techniques of JIT partnerships and the Toyota Production System.

Kirandeep Kaur Mr. Amarjeet Singh Roll No.: 1734743 Introduction Characteristics Eliminate waste The 5 S Remove Variability Sources JIT Toyota Production System Kanban A corporate system designed to produce output within the minimum lead time and at the lowest total cost by continuously identifying and eliminating all forms of corporate waste and variance. JIT is a philosophy of continuous and forced problem solving via a focus on throughput and reduced inventory Lean production supplies the customer with their exact wants when the customer wants it without waste o Other resources such as energy, water, and air are often wasted o Efficient, ethical, and socially responsible production minimizes inputs, reduces waste o Traditional “housekeeping” has been expanded to the 5 Ss Sort/segregate – when in doubt, throw it out Simplify/straighten – methods analysis tools Shine/sweep – clean daily Standardize – remove variations from processes Sustain/self-discipline – review work and recognize progress Two additional Ss Safety – build in good practices Support/maintenance – reduce variability and unplanned downtime JIT systems require managers to reduce variability caused by both internal and external factors Variability is any deviation from the optimum process Inventory hides variability Less variability results in less waste 1. Incomplete or inaccurate drawings or specifications 2. Poor production processes resulting in incorrect quantities, late, or non- conforming units 3. Unknown customer demands The time it takes to move an order from receipt to delivery The time between the arrival of raw materials and the shipping of the finished order is called manufacturing cycle time A pull system increases throughput By pulling material in small lots, inventory cushions are removed, exposing problems and emphasizing continual improvement Manufacturing cycle time is reduced Push systems dump orders on the downstream stations regardless of the need Powerful strategy for improving operations Materials arrive where they are needed when they are needed Identifying problems and driving out waste reduces costs and variability and improves throughput Requires a meaningful buyer-supplier relationship JIT partnerships exist when a supplier and purchaser work together to remove waste and drive down costs Four goals of JIT partnerships are: Removal of unnecessary activities Removal of in-plant inventory Removal of in-transit inventory Improved quality and reliability o Kanban is the Japanese word for card o The card is an authorization for the next container of material to be produced o A sequence of kanbans pulls material through the process o Many different sorts of signals are used, but the system is still called a kanban Strong relationship JIT cuts the cost of obtaining good quality because JIT exposes poor quality Because lead times are shorter, quality problems are exposed sooner Better quality means fewer buffers and allows simpler JIT systems to be used Continuous improvement Build an organizational culture and value system that stresses improvement of all processes, kaizen Part of everyone’s job Respect for people People are treated as knowledge workers Engage mental and physical capabilities Empower employees Standard work practice Work shall be completely specified as to content, sequence, timing, and outcome Internal and external customer-supplier connection are direct Product and service flows must be simple and direct Any improvement must be made in accordance with the scientific method at the lowest possible level of the organization Develop partnerships with suppliers Educate suppliers Eliminate all but value-added activities Develop employees Make jobs challenging Build worker flexibility The JIT techniques used in manufacturing are used in services Suppliers Layouts Inventory Scheduling Lean Production is the set of activities that achieves quality production at minimum cost and inventory The flow of material is pulled through the process by downstream operations Lean originated with the Toyota Production System and its two philosophies – elimination of waste, and respect for people
