Concerned about your company's future ? Your future?
Whether you answered YES or NO to the above questions, stay connected and you'll discover how a focus on
the 8-Basics of Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing can change your company's future and your professional life for the better.
Believe this... for you and your company to reach your full growth and earning
potentials you need to accomplish two things:
1. You need to identify, implement and master
the BASICS of your business and profession.
2. You need to develop a process for
obtaining “top-to-bottom,” company commitment to the flawless and daily execution of these BASICS. This commitment
becomes a launching pad for achievements beyond all expectations.
If you’re pursuing a computer hardware and/or software solution to your problems; you may have the “cart before the horse!” If you’re not focused on identifying and mastering the
BASICS presented in our Lean Manufacturing Tutorial, no level of system sophistication will get you to
where you want to or need to go.
Bill Gaw's favorite sayings is: “It's the BASICS, friend!”
A while back, the Aberdeen Group, published their “Lean Benchmark Report.” Here's their most important finding, "Companies that have achieved operational excellence through the deployment of a lean strategy share this important characteristic:
"Dedication to basics such as streamlining processes, creating
a well ordered work environment, and ongoing continuous improvement programs (Kaizen)."
And, here's the Aberdeen Report's conclusion:
"Best-in-class companies tackle Lean by mastering the basics."
So let's get the word out... "It's the BASICS, friend!"
I realize the
word "BASICS" is not very sexy. But it is a very
important thing to understand.
The fact is, business
basics... the things that serve as a solid foundation for
growing and enduring success have not changed since before I was born...
and won't change after you're dust.
It's tempting to think
that they do... that the introduction of computerized systems like
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relations Management, (CRM)
and Six Sigma can change the BASICS.
I understand the
temptation.
I can only caution
against it.
Mastering the business basics of what has worked in the past establishes the foundation
needed to successfully implement and optimize the change initiatives of
today and tomorrow.
Best of all, work will become fun again.
If
you've ever said, "There must be a better way."
... there is, and it's not more computerization!
Do
you want to optimize personal and company success? If so... you need to
identify and master the lean methodology of Kaizen
Based Lean Manufacturing™. "Many historic, recurring day-to-day problems (perhaps the same problems that plague your operation) can be permanently eliminated by a tenacious execution of Bill Gaw's BASICS.

Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing™ (KBLM) does not replace the MRP system but rather
optimizes
its shop floor and purchasing sub-systems. KBLM methodology can generate two to three times the original MRP results.
Below
is a graphic that shows the impact of optimizing MRP shop floor and
purchasing sub-systems with Bill Gaw's KBLM methodology:

A Make-a-Difference, Lean Manufacturing Tutorial
For more than 14 years, our customers
have
looked to
Bill Gaw as a trusted developer of lean manufacturing tutorials, seminars, and workshops. Manufacturing training programs that help individuals and companies exceed
their goals and expectations.
Most training materials today are either Adobe .pdf e-books with little or
no effective graphics, PowerPoint presentations with no commentary to explain in detail the content of the slides, videos that tell you what to do but with
very little implementation and/or optimization “know how,” and seminars/webinars that present a lot of materials however most attendee’s retention
rate is less than 25%.
Bill Gaw's training programs on the other hand include powerful, PowerPoint, charts and graphics, "plus" annotated note pages
with
"slide commentary" and "lessons learned" by a "been there,
done that" manufacturing professional. A value added, learning
experience on "how to" design, implement and optimize
a lean manufacturing initiative
for individual and company success.
Below is one of the PowerPoint slides with its corresponding "Note Page"
Note Page:
This chart displays the inputs required to generate a master schedule and then feeds that master schedule into the MRP module along with the other required inputs to calculate net requirements and generate take actions.
Let’s fill in the blanks with percentages that are pretty common in industry today. One thing we know about SALES FORECASTS is that they are always wrong… that said let use 95% accuracy. A sales configurator is used to define a highly engineered product. They are usually very accurate so lets give them a 99%. Finish goods inventory… let’s use 97%. Product design, if its new its low if old its high so let’s use 92%. Order entry is usually good so we’ll use 99%. To arrive at the percent integrity of the master schedule you must multiply each of its decimal inputs (it is not the averaging of the decimals, as most people think). In this case it calculates to .83 or 83%. This resultant decimal is the input to the MRP module based on the other inputs we can then calculate the shop order launch and control accuracy.Let’s take a look at these inputs. Production Bills of Materials usually have problems let’s give it 95%. Production inventory let’s say 98%. Purchase order status let’s say 96% and shop order status we’ll give it 94%. So what do we have? Our order launch and control accuracy is 70%. In a typical case the purchasing and shop floor activities are being driven by system error of 30 percent. Is there any wonder why MRP and ERP are not the panacea we once thought them to be!
An effective method for evaluating how well a company is doing in managing their MRP database data is to ask questions as to how accurate are their bills of materials, how accurate is their purchase order and shop order status, how accurate are their inventory records, etc. If the answers you get are pretty vague, like—good, OK, not too bad—then you know that this is a company that needs help in stepping up to the problems of poor information integrity.
As an exercise, pause the presentation and mentally fill in the blanks with what you know or think the percent accuracy of the your company’s data input to be.Then calculate your company's order launch and control accuracy.
Believe this---If we’re not measuring company’s data and documentation integrity, nor in pursuit of continuous improvement, our manufacturing performance will always be marginal.
The Huge Learning Difference
If you were watching a video, attending a seminar, or a webinar would you be able to take down the above in your notes for later reference... I don't think so. With Bill Gaw's training approach, there is no need to take notes because you have the training slides and total dialog for future reference.
One of Bill's supporters saying it better than we can:
“Bill's experience and the resources he provides are first rate and of great practical value for both the experienced manager wishing to push improvement in their business as well as people at the beginning of their careers who need to understand the basics of making businesses lean and effective”
