Lean manufacturing is a systematic method having the roots in the Japanese manufacturing industry for the minimization of waste without sacrificing productivity.

Lean Manufacturing has huge impressions from the Toyota Production System (TPS). Toyota along with Ford) is a pioneer of different lean concepts and tools like Jidoka (Autonomation), 5 Whys, A3, Just in Time (JIT), Pull System, etc.

What do you imagine when you think of a lean body?

Well, lean is not skinny. It simply denotes a mass with enough muscles and energy without fats.

In Manufacturing System too, lean manufacturing system denotes a system which is devoid of fats (which in this case are the unnecessary steps which are not value adding and wastes or MUDA which may be the wastes created through overburden or MURI and uneven work loads MURA.

This is a win-win situation for all parties,

1. Industries win with Lean because they can reduce the cost and wastes arising from unnecessary steps, delivery the product or services to the customers in time and improve the profits.

2. Stakeholders win with Lean because, by simplifying the steps, the profits are huge and there is a good transparency.

3. Customers win with Lean because they get the superior quality product and services in time without investing a huge cost.

4. Employees win with Lean because when the company gets stable and profitable, they have a good professional and financial future in the company. Also, as the lean steps are less complicated and well organized, the same job becomes easy and systematized.

Do you know that the top fortune 500 companies use LEAN as their quality management tools?

Be it INTEL who could introduce the new chip to the factory in 10 days compared to 14 weeks 5 years back using lean automation or Bank of America (ranking a golden 6th in Forbes Global 2000 list) who used lean tool like Hosin-Kanri in their management. The Japanese company TOYOTA (With total assets of $473 billions and market value of 200 billion, Toyota motors ranks 12th position in Forbes World’s Largest company list and world’s largest automobile manufacturer in 2018) is actually accredited for developing many lean principles such as pull system, A3 and 5 Why etc.

Wouldn't it be fun learning from the case studies of these big corporate for developing our small business?

Lean is a continuous improvement and a value oriented strategy of creating more value to the customers (users) using minimum resources with minimization of wastes in every steps of process.

Note:

• Value- Ability to provide the customers what they want in right time, quality and cost.

• Waste-Any activity that utilizes time, space and resources without adding value to the product.

Lean is not just only a cost related practice. It’s way of thinking and organization of entire organization. It helps organization to be innovative and competitive.

There are no particular requirements for this course. Anyone with interest in project management, lean management or organizational management.

Course in a nutshell...

1. The whole course is learning with fun games with professor Einstein, betty and Mark giving you progressively difficult games and tasks throughout the course. You can also check the knowledge with the time limited practice tests. In short, this course is a full package of all the lean tools that could be applied in the manufacturing business and in the service business with full of animated tutorials, downloadable pdfs and excel templates.

2. My name is Gunjan Subedi and I have been working in the sector of lean production and management and quality assurance for more than a decade now. I have experiences of lean management in many production and manufacturing business including and not limited to cosmetics, neutraceuticals, supplements and pharmaceuticals. In short, you can count on me for any problems and I’ll try my best to answer to your lean management and manufacturing problems in the best way I can.

3. This course consists of various lean manufacturing and lean management tools that will prove valuable asset in every manufacturing, improvement and management projects.

4. We will study the lean tools to manufacture the products according to the customer’s demand using the lean tools like Takt time, Just in time, Heijunka and Pull system and also study closely the scenario with and without these tools and improvements that could be made.

5. Errors and defects could be minimized when they get easily into eyes of the operators so that they could be minimized. We will learn tools to make a Visual Factory using the tools like Visual Management, Visual Workplace, Visual Instructions, Color coding, 5S etc. There are plenty of resources in excel format for use of these tools.

6. We will also learn about reducing the time for changeover in a step by step simulated Case Study of Mike’s SMED journey using lean tools like Single Minute Exchange of Dies.

7. Defects and wastes are the other big problems of a lean factory. The major revenue loss is always due to waste and defects which could be easily controlled with lean. For this we will study tools like Muda, Mura, Muri, and other 8 kinds of wastes including waste of Overproduction, Waiting, Transportation, In appropriate processing, Unnecessary Inventory, Motion, Defects, Talent. Also, we will study managing 6 kinds of defects like breakup, Setups, Small Stops, Startup rejects, cutting blade rejects etc. We will also study calculating the cost of poor quality including costs like Preventive Maintenance, Internal and External Failure Costs

8. Communication is another barrior of lean management. We will study about making the communication better with A3 reports with the PDCA or Plan Do Check and Act pathway and talk about Gemba walk too.

9. We will also study notifying the management about the process and errors using the visual management tools like Kanban, e Kanban and andon using simulated case before using Kanban and Andon and after using these lean tools.

10. Automation is the heart of any manufacturing business, we will study about Andon.using the case study of a Fortune 500 company.

11. The course also deals with the managerial aspects of lean manufacturing using tools like SMART GOALS, Key performance Indicators, Hosin Kanri or Policy Deployment and Making continuous improvement with Kaizen and Kaizen Events.

12. The Course covers the standardization techniques using Production capacity sheets, work capacity sheets and standard work combination diagrams

13. · At last we will also study the road map of Mistake proofing also called Poka Yoke.
