Principles of Lean Manufacturing
Objectives
Develop the knowledge of what the
philosophies and techniques are and why
they are important
Total picture of the the demand flow
technology business strategy
Understand and establish how to perform the
techniques and skills learned
Exercises and feedback
Technical information and examples
Cycle Time
One of the most noteworthy
accomplishments in keeping the price of
Ford products low is the gradual
shortening of the production cycle. The
longer an article is in the process of
manufacture and the more it is moved
about, the greater is its ultimate cost.
WHAT IS DFT ANYWAY?
Lean Is Market Driven
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It
knows it must run faster than the fastest lion
or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes
up. It knows it must outrun the slowest
gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a
gazelle –when the sun comes up, you had
better be running.
Defining DFT
DFT has been defined in many different
ways:
A systematic approach to identifying
and eliminating waste (non-value-
added-activities) through continuous
improvement by flowing the product at
the pull of the customer in pursuit of
perfection.
Defining DFT
A manufacturing technology that focuses
an aggressive flow process that seeks
to eliminate or minimize non-value
added work in the production process
while emphasizing quality throughout
the process.
Primary Objective
to build a HIGH QUALITYproduct in the
SHORTEST PRODUCTION time and at
the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST
What are the advantages of DFT
People –the number of people needed
to produce the daily rate is calculated
daily
Processes and quality checks are
documented (A.I., OMS & SOE’s)
Quality built into the product
Kanban
Less material in WIP and RIP
What are the advantages of DFT
Component kanban –two-bin system
NVA work is minimized or eliminated
Processes are in a constant continuous
improvement state

defined by the S.O.E. to be performed
at an operation
Work Content

by a demand flow manufacturing
process

Move inventory and time (Kanban)
In-Process Kanban (IPK)
A visual signal that identifies when work
needs to be performed in a line
Kanban Card
A card used as a communications signal
to pull material based on demand
Pull Sequence
Every part that is kanban pulled must
have a definable path that identifies the
supply and consumption points
(e.g Line, Rip, Wip, FG’s)
Mixed Model Line
A primary goal of demand flow manufacturing is
to design flow lines to produce families of
similar products. The mixed model line has
the ability to build a range of volumes of any
product, any day, based on the direction of
actual customer demand.
Backflush
The method used to relieve RIP (Raw in
Process) inventory of a product’s bill of
material quantity when a product is
complete
Communication Lights
Management Light –A light that can be
seen from a wide area to identify if
action needs to be taken on the line
e.g Andon
Measuring Linearity
Example: during a nine-day period the production
rate is (4) per day:
4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=36
Actual production was:
3+4+5+3+4+5+3+4+5=36
Traditionally we would say this is o.k.
Actually the sum of the total deviation is 6 or 84%
Suggested Goal = 90%
