Definition
Lean Manufacturing – A way to eliminate waste
and improve efficiency in a manufacturing
environment.
Lean focuses on flow, the value stream and
eliminating muda, the Japanese word for waste.
Lean manufacturing is the production of goods
using less of everything compared to traditional
mass production: less waste, human effort,
manufacturing space, investment in tools,
inventory, and engineering time to develop a new
product.
Lean and Just-in-Time
Lean was generated from the Just-in-time
(JIT) philosophy of continuous and forced
problem solving.
Just-in-time is supplying customers with
exactly what they want when they want
it.
What is Waste?
Waste is anything that
happens to a product
that does not add
value from the
customer’s
perspective.
Products being stored,
inspected or delayed,
products waiting in
queues, and defective
products do not add
value.
Seven Wastes
Overproduction – producing more than the
customer orders or producing early. Inventory of
any kind is usually waste.
Queues – idle time, storage, and waiting are wastes
Transportation – moving material between plants,
between work centers, and handling more than
once is waste
Inventory – unnecessary raw material, work-in-
process (WIP), finished goods, and excess
operating supplies
Motion – movement of equipment or people
Overprocessing – work performed on product that
adds no value
Defective product – returns, warranty claims,
rework and scrap
Origins
Lean Manufacturing is
sometimes called the
Toyota Production
System (TPS)
because Toyota
Motor Company’s Eiji
Toyoda and Taiichui
Ohno are given
credit for its
approach and
innovations.
Toyota Production System
Toyota Production System requires
that activities, connections, and flow
paths have built-in tests to signal
problems automatically, gaps become
immediately evident.
Results of the TPS are improvements
in reliability, flexibility, safety, and
efficiency.
These lead to increase in market
share and profitability.
Key Lean Manufacturing Techniques
5S
Single Minute Exchange of Dies
Kanban
Cellular Manufacturing
5S
Strategy for creating a well organized, smoothly
flowing manufacturing process
5S Examples
Before After
Benefits of 5S
Increases organization and
efficiency
Avoids wasted motion
Increases safety
Eliminates unnecessary inventory
Offers improvements at an
inexpensive cost
Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED)
Method that focuses on the rapid conversion
from manufacturing one product to the next
Benefits of SMED
Increases throughput by reducing setup
times
Eliminates setup errors
Increases safety
Reduces the cost of setups
Reduces waiting times and inventory
buildups
Decreases the required skill level of the
operators
Kanban
A system that uses replenishment signals
to simplify inventory management
Signals (usually cards) hold product details
What to make, when to make it, how much to
make, and where to send it
Cards stay attached to a bin that holds the
product
When bin is empty, it is returned to the start
of the assembly line for replenishment
Full bins are returned to the customer, and the
cycle continues
Benefits of Kanban
Highly visible systems
Simple, effective, and inexpensive
Reduces inventory and eliminates
stock-outs
Improves the quality of service
Improves lead times
Cellular Manufacturing
Dividing the manufacture of products
into semi-autonomous and multi-skilled
teams known as work cells
Cellular Manufacturing Example
Functional Layout Cellular Layout
Benefits of Cellular Manufacturing
Simplifies material flow and
management
Reduces interdepartmental travel
Reduces throughput time
Reduces lot sizes
Simplifies scheduling
Lean Manufacturing
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Increased overall
productivity
Reduced amount of floor
space required
Reduced manufacturing
lead time
Improved flexibility to
react to changes
Improved quality
Disadvantages:
Difficulty involved with
changing processes to
implement lean principals
Long term commitment
required
Very risky process -
expect supply chain issues
while changing over to
lean

Storage Systems
Function – to store materials (e.g.,
parts, work-in-process, finished
goods) for a period of time and
permit retrieval when required.
Used in factories, warehouses,
distribution centers, wholesale
dealerships, and retail stores.
Automation available to improve
efficiency.
Automated Storage Systems
Mechanized and automated storage
equipment to reduce the human
resources required to operate a
storage facility.
Level of automation varies
In mechanized systems, an operator
participates in each storage/retrieval
transaction.
In highly automated systems, loads are
entered or retrieved under computer
control.
Objectives and Reasons for
Automating Storage Operations
To increase storage capacity
To increase storage density
To recover factory floor space
currently used for WIP
To improve security and reduce
pilferage
To reduce labor cost and/or
increase productivity
To improve safety
To improve inventory control
To improve stock rotation
To improve customer service
To increase throughput
Types of Automated Storage
System
1.Automated Storage/Retrieval
System (AS/RS)
Rack system with mechanized or
automated crane to store/retrieve
loads
2.Carousel Storage System
Oval conveyor system with bins to
contain individual items
AS/RS Types
Unit load AS/RS - large
automated system for pallet loads
Deep-lane AS/RS - uses flow-
through racks and fewer access
aisles
Miniload AS/RS - handles small
loads contained in bins or drawers
to perform order picking
Man-on-board AS/RS - human
operator rides on the carriage to pick
individual items from storage
Automated item retrieval system
- picks individual items
Vertical lift storage modules
(VLSM) - uses a vertical aisle rather
than a horizontal aisle as in other
AS/RS types
AS/RS Applications
1.Unit load storage and retrieval
Warehousing and distribution operations
AS/RS types: unit load, deep lane (food industry)
2.Order picking
AS/RS types: miniload, man-on-board, item
retrieval
3.Work-in-process storage
Helps to manage WIP in factory operations
Buffer storage between operations with different
production rates
Supports JIT manufacturing strategy
Kitting of parts for assembly
