Real-World Success Stories
Toyota's Lean approach eliminates
waste, empowers employees, and
drives continuous improvement.
TPS achieved impressive results,
including up to 90% reduction in
lead times, lower inventory levels
and improved cash flow, higher
product quality with fewer defects,
and increased employee
engagement and problem-solving
culture.
GE used value stream
mapping to identify
inefficiencies and optimize
processes.
They also employed Six Sigma
to minimize defects and
variations in manufacturing.
These initiatives resulted in
significant cost savings and
improved productivity.
Boeing's Lean transformation
aimed to reduce lead times,
increase productivity, and
improve product quality.
They used Lean tools like 5S,
Kanban, and Kaizen to promote
continuous improvement.
This led to shorter production
cycles, lower inventory, and
improved on-time deliveries.

3. Lean Manufacturing is a systematic
approach to eliminate waste and
optimize efficiency in manufacturing
processes.

About ORCA

4. Lean Manufacturing is a
philosophy that originated from
the Toyota Production System
(TPS) in the 1950s.
It focuses on delivering value to
customers by eliminating waste
and improving productivity.
Core principles include
continuous improvement, respect
for people, and flow optimization.
What is Lean Manufacturing?

5. Eight Wastes of Lean
Transportation:
Motion:
Overproduction:
Defects:
Unnecessary movement of materials.
Unnecessary movement of people.
Producing more than customer demand.
Quality issues that require rework or scrap.
01

07
Inventory:
Waiting:
Overprocessing:
Skills:
Excess raw materials or finished goods.
Idle time in processes or delays.
Performing unnecessary steps or processes.
Underutilization of employee skills & talents.

7. Eliminate unnecessary items &
identify what is needed.
5S Methodology
Sort
Set in Order
Shine
Sustain
Organize items for easy accessibility.
Keep the workspace clean & well-maintained.
Establish consistent work procedures.

04
Standardize
Ensure the 5S practices are maintained &
improved over time.
05
5S is a foundational Lean tool for workplace organization and standardization.

8. Kanban System
Kanban is a visual scheduling system used to
manage production and inventory levels.
It enables just-in-time production by
signaling when to produce more based on
actual customer demand.
Kanban boards and cards make it easy to
track work progress and identify bottlenecks.

9. Continuous
Improvement (Kaizen)
Kaizen is the process of making incremental
improvements regularly.
Encourage all employees to participate and
suggest improvements.
Small changes add up to significant gains in
efficiency and quality over time.

10. Value Stream
Mapping
Value Stream Mapping is a tool to analyze and
visualize the flow of materials and information.
Identify areas of waste and inefficiency to target
for improvement.
Facilitates collaboration between teams and
enhances communication.

11. Jidoka and Poka-Yoke
Jidoka is the principle of building quality
into the production process.
Poka-Yoke refers to mistake-proofing
techniques to prevent defects from occurring.
Both concepts enhance product quality and
reduce the likelihood of defects.
