How
would you like to Deliver 99% On-time to Customers, Cut Lead Times by
60%, Reduce WIP Inventories by 70% and Finished Goods by 45%, Improve
Sales/employee by 45%, Improve Space Utilization by 35%, Increase
Throughput or Cash Flow by 55% and Achieve Quality Index of 98.6%? That
is a long question isn’t it?
We’re
making profit, so why do we need to change the way we’re
working? Have this question crossed your mind?
The first principle of Lean is to satisfy the needs of
the customer by performing only those activities that add value in the
eyes of the customer. Put yourself in your customer’s shoes,
peer into your organization and look around. You will find many
activities occurring which add no value and often times prevent you
from meeting customer demands. Identifying both value added and
non-value added activities provide you with a visual map of your
processes.
The
second principle of Lean is to define the ‘Value
Stream’ The goal is to identify material and information
flows currently required to deliver a product or service. This activity
called value stream mapping will highlight bottlenecks, handoffs, lead-time and inventory
requirements. The result is a pictorial of your current processes from
start to finish and all parts in-between. The key is to focus on the
65-95% of non-value added actions occurring.
The
third principle of Lean is to eliminate waste.
Waste in the value stream is any activity, which the customer is not
willing to pay for since it adds no value to the product or service and
often at times, is consuming resources. Waste exists in all parts of
the business front office to the factory. This effort results in
redefining the current value stream to one of value adding activities.
It's
really very simple. Eliminate the waste in your production process and
you will produce goods more efficiently and more profitably.
Lean is
all about learning how to reduce waste or "non-value" added steps in a
process. Typically 80 to 95% of lead-time is non-value added, or waste.
The lean
transformation is directed by guiding creed such as:
· Positive, clear
communications
· Ensure
‘no-blame’ culture
· Work through
cross-functional teams
· Staff involvement at every
stage
· Process maps on display for
comments
· Remove non-value added
steps, hand-offs, rework loops
· Agree design principles with
all
· Fix the root cause not the
symptom
· Ensure solution supports
departmental interfaces
· Incorporate Continuous
Improvement
While
there is no fail-safe method for a successful transformation, following
a regimented approach is the best advice. When programs do fail, many
of the reasons can be traced to a few common themes.
