JIT/Lean Operations Good production systems require that managers address three issues that are pervasive and fundamental to operations management: eliminate waste, remove variability, and improve throughput © 2011 Pearson Education

Just-In-Time, Toyota Production System, and Lean Operations JIT is a philosophy of continuous and forced problem solving via a focus on throughput and reduced inventory TPS emphasizes continuous improvement, respect for people, and standard work practices Lean production supplies the customer with their exact wants when the customer wants it without waste © 2011 Pearson Education

Eliminate Waste Waste is anything that does not add value from the customer point of view Storage, inspection, delay, waiting in queues, and defective products do not add value and are 100% waste © 2011 Pearson Education

Types of Waste in TPS Muda: Waste, uselessness, idleness Mura: Unevenness, irregularity, non uniformity Muri: unreasonableness, impossible, beyond one's power, too difficult; © 2011 Pearson Education

Taiichi Ohno’s Seven Wastes (Muda) Defective products: Costs of reworking and rescheduing Overprocessing: Providing a quality more than demanded by the customer Waiting lines: Queues Non used employee talent (8th. Waste item!) Transportation: Costs and risks of demage Inventory: Costs, risks of obsolescence, thivery Motion: Risks the production process inflicts on workers and machinery Excessive (Over) production: Producing more than demand © 2011 Pearson Education

Eliminate Waste Other resources such as energy, water, and air are often wasted Efficient, sustainable production minimizes inputs, reduces waste Traditional “housekeeping” has been expanded to the 5 Ss © 2011 Pearson Education

The 5 Ss to Organize a Workspace for efficiency and effectiveness Rules for identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order Sort/segregate – Identify unnecessary items and dispose of them properly Simplify/straighten – Arrange all necessary items so they can be easily selected for use Shine/sweep – Keep workplace clean, safe and easy to work Standardize – Maintain high standards of housekeeping and workplace organization at all times. Sustain/self-discipline – Keep things working by performing regular audits, Training and self-discipline Two additional Ss Safety – build in good practices Support/maintenance – reduce variability and unplanned downtime © 2011 Pearson Education

Remove Variability 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 © 2011 Pearson Education

Sources of Variability Incomplete or inaccurate drawings or specifications Poor production processes resulting in incorrect quantities, late, or non-conforming units Unknown customer demands © 2011 Pearson Education

Sources of Variability Incomplete or inaccurate drawings or specifications Poor production processes resulting in incorrect quantities, late, or non-conforming units Unknown customer demands Both JIT and inventory reduction are effective tools in identifying causes of variability © 2011 Pearson Education

Improve Throughput Throughput time is the time it takes to move an order from receipt to delivery. Manufacturing cycle time is the time between the arrival of raw materials and the shipping of the finished order A pull system –produce to order- increases throughput rate © 2011 Pearson Education

Pull Systems/Kanban Kanban system control the flow of resources in a production process by replacing only what has been consumed. They are customer order-driven production schedules based on actual demand and consumption rather than forecasting. Implementing Pull Systems with Kanban can help you eliminate waste in handling, storing, and getting your product to the customer. Benefits Reduce overall inventory Reduce work in process (WIP) Reduce order turnaround time Increase customer satisfaction Improve cash flow © 2011 Pearson Education

Improve Throughput By pulling material in small lots, inventory cushions are removed, exposing problems and emphasizing continual improvement Manufacturing cycle time is reduced Push systems –make to stock- dump orders on the downstream stations regardless of the need © 2011 Pearson Education

Lean Operations Different from JIT in that it is externally focused on the customer Starts with understanding what the customer wants Optimize the entire process from the customer’s perspective © 2011 Pearson Education

Building a Lean Organization Transitioning to a lean system can be difficult Lean systems tend to have the following attributes Use JIT techniques Build systems that help employees produce perfect parts Reduce space requirements © 2011 Pearson Education

BPM with Lean Principles Lean system aims to decrease waste while attaining a high value as perceived by the customer. Value is a combination of purchase lead time, price and quality as perceived by the customer Waste includes everything that does not add value from the customer’s persepective This results in significant improvements in Process time (30-50%) Process cost (25%30%) Stock levels (25-50%) Operational costs (5-30%) Efficiency (15-40%) Customer satisfaction (20-60%) Quality, Standardization 2.
