lean manufacturing is a management philosophy focusing on reduction of
the seven wastes (over-production, waiting time, transportation,
processing, inventory, motion and scrap) in manufactured products or any
type of business. by eliminating waste quality is improved, production
time is reduced and cost is reduced. lean "tools" include constant
process analysis and improvement (kaizen) "pull" production (by means of kanban) and
error-proofing (poka yoke). lean, as a management philosophy, is also
very focused on creating a better workplace - (5S).
the key lean principles are:
-
first-time quality –detecting and solving problems at the source
-
waste elimination – eliminating all activities that do not add value,
- continuous
improvement – reducing costs, improving quality, increasing productivity
and information sharing
-
pull processing: products are pulled from the consumer end, not pushed
from the production end
-
flexibility – producing different mixes or greater diversity of products
quickly, without sacrificing efficiency at lower volumes of production
-
building and maintaining a long term relationship with suppliers through
collaborative risk sharing, cost sharing and information sharing
arrangements.

introduction to lean |
|
|
|
lean
is a business system and applies to organising and managing product
development, operations, suppliers, and customer relations. business
and other organizations use lean principles, practices, and tools to
create precise customer value goods and services with higher quality
and fewer defects - with less human effort, less space, less
capital, and less time than the traditional system of mass
production.
this course is suitable for lean practitioners, six sigma
stakeholders, champions, change agents and support staff who require
a basic understanding of the lean methodologies and the potential
business benefits (supported by examples) either for introducing
and/or maintaining a lean culture within their business.
