I realize the
word "BASICS" is not very sexy. But it is a very
important thing to understand.
Mastering lean manufacturing basics of what has worked in the past establishes
the foundation
needed to successfully implement and optimize the change initiatives of
today and tomorrow.
The
Best-in-Class,
Lean
Manufacturing e-Library
(You'll receive both .pdf and .ppt versions)
The e-Library contains the 10-Basics of Lean Manufacturing
in the form of PDF e-Tutorials with a total
of 357 charts and graphs with relevant narratives plus "lessons
learned" from a lean manufacturing "been there, done that" professional.
The
e-Library is
delivered via Internet in both .pdf and .ppt downloads
and can be installed on all Internet
devices and a company's Intranet.
e-Tutorial
No.
1: Strategic Planning & Tactical Execution
Strategic planning is a business process that many companies employ to identify their critical success targets that set the course for future growth and profits.
e-Tutorial
No.
2:
Sales & Operations Planning
Bringing sanity to
shop
floor and supplier scheduling requires continuously improving
the integration of sales forecasts, master
schedules and day-to-day
schedules.
e-Tutorial
No.
3: Point-of-Use Supply Chain Management
Companies
will never achieve best-in-class manufacturing expectations as
long as business leaders continue to talk about value-added supplier
partnerships, while continuing to deal with their suppliers as
adversaries.
e-Tutorial
No.
4: Information
Integrity
-
MRPII/ERP expectations will not be achieved when day-to-day
production and manufacturing/supply chain control systems are
driven by inaccurate, untimely and uncontrolled data and/or
documentation.
e-Tutorial
No.
5: Value
Stream Mapping
-
Analysis of the processes which the maps
represent can help you increase customer satisfaction by identifying
actions to reduce process cycle time, decrease defects, reduce
costs, establish customer-driven process performance measures,
reduce non-value-added steps, and increase productivity are a few.
e-Tutorial
No.
No. 6: Kaizen
Management
-
Price Pritchett puts it this way," Without Kaizen,
you and your employer will gradually lose ground. Eventually, you’ll
be “out of business,” because the competition never stands still."
e-Tutorial
No.
No. 7: Performance Management
-
Financial numbers may tell us who's winning the war, but it takes a motivational balanced scorecard measurement system to win all the battles along the way. Remember, without data
management is just another opinion.
e-Tutorial
No.
No. 8: Cycle Time Management
-
If your business teams can handle only one strategic
initiative at a time, then let it be the implementation of a
cycle time reduction program. There just isn’t any other more
important program in our pursuit of profits.
e-Tutorial
No.
No. 9: Sequential Production
-
Effective shop floor control has proven elusive as we have upgraded
our manufacturing control system from MRP to MRPII and then
to ERP. To capture control of shop floor activities, we need to
stop beating a “dead horse” and implement the Sequential
Production Process. The winners are!
e-Tutorial
No.
No. 10: Production Linearity
-
Companies will never achieve their full growth and profit potential
if they produce more than 25% of their monthly shipment plan in the
last week of the month or more than 33% of their quarterly shipment
plan in the last month of the quarter. As companies struggle to
remain competitive, one of the strategies by which gains in speed,
quality and costs can be achieved is to pursue and achieve linear
production.
