Objectives of Lean Manufacturing

The document discusses lean manufacturing. It outlines the five main objectives of lean manufacturing which are to produce high quality products at low cost, short delivery times, delight customers, and ensure good after sales service. Lean manufacturing aims to eliminate waste and cut costs by making processes more efficient. Key lean tools mentioned include 5S's, Kanban, value stream mapping, and Kaizen which means continual improvement. Waste in manufacturing includes transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, over processing, and defects.

Goodafternoon everyone ,my topic for todays presentation is lean manufacturing

Objectives of Lean Manufacturing

The five main objectives of a lean manufacturing system are:

1. To produce the highest possible quality product,

2. at the lowest possible cost of manufacturing,

3. within the shortest possible delivery time,

4. with the aim of just not satisfying the customer but delighting the customer,

5. And ensuring a very good after sales service.

What is Lean Manufacturing?


Lean manufacturing is an approach that quickly detects problems and inefficiencies. It
eliminates waste by reducing costs in manufacturing process. Lean production aims to cut
costs by making the business more efficient and responsive to market needs. This approach
sets out to cut out all activities that do not add value to the production process, such as
holding of stock repairing faulty product and unnecessary movement of people and product
around the plant.
In lean manufacturing system the use of tools is 5 S’s, Kanban, Visual control, Poke yoke,
SMED (single minute exchange dies), Value stream mapping, Quality tool, TPM, Cell,
Piece flow, Seven wastes, etc.

waste
The central theme of the concepts of lean manufacturing is based on the systematic identification of
waste and its subsequent elimination .

The non-value added operations such as storage, transportation and inspection in an organization
contribute to waste and thus are required to be eliminated.
A. Transport : Moving products that are not actually required to perform the processing.

B. Inventory All components, work in process, and finished product not being processed.

C. Motion People or equipment moving or walking more than is required to perform the processing.

D. Waiting Waiting for the next production step, interruptions of production during shift change.

E. Overproduction Producing items more than required at given point of time.

F. Over Processing Working on a product more than the actual requirement time is termed as over
processing.
G. Defects Defects in the processed parts are termed as waste. Reparing the defective parts or replacing
the parts due to poor quality.

VALUE STREAM MAPPING

Value stream mapping is a lean-management method for analyzing the current state and designing a future
state for the series of events that take a product or service from its beginning through to the customer. At
Toyota, it is known as "material and information flow mapping". It can be applied to nearly any value chain.

Kaizen

Kaizen means improvement. When applied to the work place Kaizen means continuing
improvement. Kaizen is a system for communicating ideas up and down the company hierarchy;
everyone is encouraged to search and exploit the new opportunities and institutional barriers to the
information flow are dismantled. Kaizen charges management to prioritize standardize and improve.
Standardization and measurement are the keys to kaizen.
