How To
How is Lean Manufacturing done?
Lean Manufacturing methods are used to reduce waste through structured processes. They were created by Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan in the 1980s. The main goal was to produce products at lower costs while maintaining quality. Lean manufacturing seeks to eliminate unnecessary steps and activities in the production process. It has five components: continuous improvement and pull systems; just-in time; continuous change; and kaizen (continuous innovation). It is a system that produces only the product the customer requests without additional work. Continuous improvement involves constantly improving upon existing processes. Just-in time refers to components and materials being delivered right at the place they are needed. Kaizen means continuous improvement, which is achieved by implementing small changes continuously. Last but not least, 5S is for sort. These five elements can be combined to achieve the best possible results.
Lean Production System
The lean production system is based on six key concepts:
-
Flow: The goal is to move material and information as close as possible from customers.
-
Value stream mapping - break down each stage of a process into discrete tasks and create a flowchart of the entire process;
-
Five S's, Sort, Set in Order, Shine. Standardize. and Sustain.
-
Kanban - use visual signals such as colored tape, stickers, or other visual cues to keep track of inventory;
-
Theory of constraints: Identify bottlenecks and use lean tools such as kanban boards to eliminate them.
-
Just-in time - Get components and materials delivered right at the point of usage;
-
Continuous improvement - Make incremental improvements rather than overhauling the entire process.
