Why Lean Manufacturing Makes Sense
Western manufacturers under cost pressure from low-cost countries
Customers are demanding greater product variety and highly customized products
Customers are demand more new products
Customers demanding shorter delivery lead-times and lower prices
Increasing transactional volumes
Worker motivational issues
Stricter Health & Safety rules
Cash flow issues with working capital tied up in inventory
Competitive global environment - advantage through delivering greater added value

Adoption of Lean Manufacturing
An ARC Group strategy report written by Simon Bragg (2004) suggests that “Today 36 percent of US manufacturers and 70 percent of UK manufacturers are using lean as their primary improvement methodology.”

Lean manufacturing is essentially a philosophy that focuses on customer value-adding activities and the systematic identification and elimination of waste, as well as continuous improvement in flow manufacturing environments to increase productivity.
Defining Lean Manufacturing
Page 8
1. Value Identify and deliver value to the customer
2. Value stream Identify the value stream to see what is necessary
3. Flow Make value flow
4. Pull Make as needed. Customer demand driven manufacturing
5. Perfection Continuous improvement in pursuit of perfection
Five Core Elements of Lean Thinking

How Technology Can Support Lean Manufacturing
Product data management for managing exploding product variety
Electronic kanban offers many advantages over physical kanbans
– Avoids problems of loss or sabotage of physical kanbans
– Quicker transfer of information between production areas and partners
– Faster and easier to resize kanbans
– Easier to phase in new products
Supplier and customer portals for kanban control or JIT call-offs
Ability to support complex algorithms for Theory of Constraints planning
Databases and powerful analytics tools to identify customer value and support continuous improvement
Elimination of waste in administration, such as order entry, order management, invoicing, etc.

Value – Enterprise Performance Management
“In competitive terms, value is the amount buyers are willing to pay for what the firm provides them. Value is measured by total revenue, a reflection of the price a firms product commands, and the units it can sell.”
Michael Porter

Flow – Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
Advanced enterprise asset management options increase equipment reliability and thus:
– Improve availability
– Reduce downtime
– Reduce product scrap and wasted time managing that scrap
– Increase machine tolerances and thereby increase quality
Diagnostics management features automatically identify situations where the current maintenance strategy is not working and trigger a continuous improvement review.
Support for reliability centered maintenance (RCM), which can underpin the TPM strategy
Synchronized maintenance and production planning maximizes the available production time
Contributes towards throughput and OEE and supports simulation
Ultimately, provides focused support for reducing the “big six” TPM losses.

Pull – Theory of Constraints Production Planning
Makes value flow through the bottleneck (and factory)
Easy to communicate and intuitive for the planner to use
Does not require high data quality 50% of the time and effort to implement of
an advanced production planning solution Can result in less inventory overall than
when using kanban

Some Benefits of a Lean Manufacturing Philosophy
For the CEO
Focus on customer value-adding activities
Elimination of activities that do not contribute directly to customer value and built-in quality
Support or pull-based manufacturing with quick response to customer orders
For the CFO
Reduced waste -> removal of unnecessary activities and cost
Removal of stock and work in progress (WIP) -> improved inventory turns and less working capital employed in the business
Improved return on capital employed (ROCE)
For the Operations Director
Shorter production cycle times and greater agility
Productivity and quality improvements
Increased employee motivation (through teams and empowerment)
Promotes continuous improvement
