The document provides an overview of Lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System. It discusses how Toyota implemented Lean principles beginning in the 1950s to become highly efficient and profitable. The core concepts of Lean include eliminating waste, reducing lead times, and continuous improvement. Lean aims to optimize flow and pull production using tools like just-in-time, standard work, and visual management. Kaizen events are used to rapidly improve processes by multidisciplinary teams identifying and eliminating sources of waste.

Lean Manufacturing - An Overview
- 2. KANZEN INSTITUTE History of Lean Production After World War II, Shigeo Shingo & Taiichi Ohno started modifying Toyota’s manufacturing processes to form the Toyota Production System (TPS) Hiroyuki Hirano called this as Just-In-Time (JIT) Production The term “Lean Production” was coined in 1990 by Prof. James P. Womack in his book “The Machine that changed the world” Lean Production - Brief History

- 10. KANZEN INSTITUTE Lean Manufacturing is an all encompassing culture, a behavior or mindset that focuses on the Customer. Anything that the Customer does not perceive as adding Value is considered Waste. Lean Manufacturing seeks a Continuous Flow for all value-add process steps through the system by Elimination of Waste, thereby reducing the Time to Customer. What is Lean Manufacturing?

KANZEN INSTITUTE Lean Companies Traditional Companies Keep suppliers in the dark regarding growth, technology, product introductions, etc. Choose strategic suppliers that help them grow in capacity, quality, technology, flexibility, etc. Ship to distributorsShip direct to customers Have fixed, dedicated linesAdjust capacity by assigning resources based on daily demand Make products to forecast (push system) Let the customer pull – this triggers production Allow few changes to standard products and follow-ups (fixed lines – content & equipment) Change quickly to the next model and grow easily in prod. life cycle (simple non-permanent equipment) See inventory as a necessary buffer for uncertain demand Strive for zero inventories Have long lead timesCan fill a customer order very quickly Lean vs. Traditional Companies

- 24. KANZEN INSTITUTE Effective Process to implement Lean - Kaizen Event A Kaizen event is a focused effort used to “make a leap” A multi-functional team is formed and for a 3-5 day period they focus on resolving a problem. It is characterized by the following: • A short burst of intense activity & effort (3 to 5 days only) • Biased toward action over analysis • Focused on improving the value stream and achieving flow • Driven to resolving a specific problem or achieving a specific goal • Focused on a specific area or process (either plant or office) • Managed with daily reviews of progress • Aimed at achieving specific improvements in a short time • Managed to resolution A kaizen is driven to two imperatives: - Solving Problems- Solving Problems - Eliminating waste (Muda)- Eliminating waste (Muda) During a kaizen event the team will: Identify problems & areas of waste Ask Why?, Why?, Why?, Why?, Why?, Why? Figure out ways to fix the problem or eliminate the waste Implement solutions 1. Take Apart 2. Think about 3. Make new

Editor's Notes
- SAY: This slide tells us what Kaizen actually means. We all know Kaizen is a Japanese word. The word consists of two parts KAI and ZEN as you may have noted in the previous slide. KAI means ‘CHANGE’ and ZEN means ‘FOR GOOD’. So when we say KAIZEN, it means Changing for the better or Change for good or we can call it Change to the next elevated state. But Japanese masters say that ‘The way we today is the worst way of doing things and hence we need to change’. Hence when we Change for better everyday, it leads to continual improvement in our work, operations, products, information systems, personal life, professional life and social life. In brief the Kaizen philosophy believes that our way of life be it social life, personal life or professional life deserves to be constantly improved. FI: Ask the participants to repeat ‘CHANGE FOR GOOD’
