  • Introduction to Lean Manufacturing & Its origins from Toyota's Chief Engineer4:46

    This Lecture will guide students through the initial conception of all things "Lean". Then provide insight into the origin of Lean manufacturing in the toyota production system.

    Students will begin to understand just how important the Toyota production system is and was in terms of the creation of Lean Manufacturing techniques.

  • Toyota Production System: TPS SImplified4:28

    Taiichi Ohno was the chief engineer of Toyota during the creation of the TPS system. He is accredited with being the mind behind the powerful system.

    He began his journey by first analyzing what worked for Ford & GM during the early days of auto manufacturing. He then adopted his own ideals as to how he could implement a system EVEN BETTER back home in Japan.

    Lean Ideology was Born!

  • Waste: What is Lean Manufacturing? Thats Simple, Waste Elimination3:14

    The 7 types of waste are summed into an easily remembered acronym: "TWO DIME"

    T- Transportation

    W- Waiting

    O- Over Production

    D- Defects

    I - Inventory

    M- Motion Waste

    E - Excess Processing

  • Value: What Your Customers Are WIlling To Pay For. More Value = More Profits1:57

    Lean Philosophy seeks to eliminate waste, while adding more VALUE to your customers. Value is seen through the eyes of your customers in a Lean Manufacturing envoroment, so every step/process not actually forming a product your customer wants to buy is looked to be eliminated.

  • Flow, Pull, & Perfection2:12

    Once we identify our value, now we want to have it flow throughout our system as smoothly as possible. The "Flow" of our production system is optimized to have our products only move through value adding processes with little to no wasted effort in between.

    We want to eventually start to only produce goods to the "Pull" of our customer demand. Where production orders are triggered by actually customers placing orders for new product.

    Lastly the goal in Lean philosophy is perfection, where improvements are never ending. Although a company being 100% waste-free is a theoretical mission it leaves a constant drive toward getting better on a consistent basus.
