Are you experiencing any or all
of the following symptoms:
Inventory building up?
Missed delivery deadlines?
Customers that want your
product now? But you can't deliver?
Piles of work in process?
Uneven quality?
If you have any of these
problems, you can likely benefit from Lean. Lean focuses on
what value your customers want you to add to your product.
It is very likely that the underlying principles of your
system created these problems. The solution is remarkably
simple, effective, and repeatable.
It is called Lean and
reached prominence through the writings of James P. Womack
and Daniel T. Jones.
Lean attacks the wastes that fill most processes, throughout
the entire value stream. Removing waste represents the
greatest opportunity for performance improvement. Lean can
be applied in any sector.
The Lean tools focus on
reducing the different wastes, including:
One-piece Flow
Pull
Poka-yoke (mistake proofing)
Visual controls
Reducing inventory
The process starts with an
assessment of the value stream, targeting the highest return
on your precious improvement investment.
