JIT/Lean Production
Chapter 13

You will learn
Describe JIT/Lean and differentiate between the Lean philosophy and kanban systems.
Discuss the Lean perspective on waste and describe the eight major forms of waste, or muda, in an organization.
Discuss the Lean perspective on inventory.
Describe how a kanban system helps control inventory levels and synchronize the flow of goods and material across a supply chain.
Describe how the concepts of Lean supply chain and Lean Six Sigma represent natural extensions of the Lean philosophy.
Lean (1 of 2)
Lean – A philosophy of production that emphasizes the minimization of the amount of all the resources (including time) used in the various activities of an enterprise. It involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities in design, production, supply chain management, and dealing with customers.

Lean (2 of 2)
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

Just-in-time (1 of 2)
Just-in-time – A philosophy of manufacturing based on planned elimination of all waste and on continuous improvement of productivity. In a broad sense, it applies to all forms of manufacturing and to many service industries as well.

Just-in-time (2 of 2)
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
With JIT, supplies and components are “pulled” through a system to arrive where they are needed when they are needed

Toyota Production System (2 of 2)
Lean Manufacturing (also called the Toyota Production System (TPS)) is created by Toyota Motor Company’s Eiji Toyoda and Taiichui Ohno

Principles to Toyota Production System (1 of 2)
Work shall be completely specified as to content, sequence, timing, and outcome
Every customer-supplier connection, both internal and external, must be direct and specify personnel, methods, timing, and quantity of goods or services provided
Product and service flows must be simple and direct – goods and services are directed to a specific person or machine
10
Principles to Toyota Production System (2 of 2)
Since the 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.

The Lean Perspective on Waste (1 of 5)
Waste – Any activity that does not add value to the good or service in the eyes of the consumer.

Products being stored
Products being inspected/delayed
Products waiting in queues
defective products

The Lean Perspective on Waste (2 of 5)
Eight commonly recognized sources of waste
Unnecessary transportation
Unnecessary inventory
Unnecessary/excess motion
Waiting
Overproduction
Inappropriate process
Defects
Underutilization of employees

The Lean Perspective on Inventory (1 of 3)
Triangles represent inventory between work centers A, B, and C.
The buildup of inventory hides the problems/disruptions that may occur but at a cost.

The Lean Perspective on Inventory (2 of 3)
After a successful Lean program has been put in place, wasted movement and space are eliminated and work centers are moved closer together.
Inventory levels are reduced dramatically and work centers make only what is needed when it is needed.

Kanban Systems (1 of 10)
Kanban system – A production control approach that uses containers, cards, or visual cues to control the production and movement of goods through the supply chain.

Kanban Systems (2 of 10)
Key characteristics:
Uses simple signaling mechanisms to indicate when specific items should be produced or moved.
Can be used to synchronize activities either within a plant or between different supply chain partners.
Are not considered planning tools, but rather control mechanisms that are designed to pull parts or goods through the supply chain based on downstream demand.
29
Kanban Systems (3 of 10)
Two-card kanban system – A special form of the Kanban system that uses one card to control production and another card to control movement of materials.
Move card – A kanban card that is used to indicate when a container of parts should be moved to the next process step.
Production card – A kanban card that is used to indicate when another container of parts should be produced.

Kanban Systems (8 of 10)
Summary of Kanban System
A downstream station pulls finished material out of work center B. (Figure 13.6)
Work center B pulls raw material into production. (Figure 13.7)
Demand for more raw material in work center B pulls finished material out of work center A. (Figure 13.8)
Kanban Systems (9 of 10)
Pull system – A production system in which actual downstream demand sets off a chain of events that pulls material through the various process steps.
A kanban system is also called a pull system.
Kanban Systems (10 of 10)
Other signaling methods:
Single-card systems, where the single card is the production card and the empty container serves as the move signal
Color coding of containers
Designated storage spaces
Computerized bar-coding systems
Benefits of Kanban
Highly visible systems
Simple, effective, and inexpensive
Reduces inventory and eliminates stockouts
Improves the quality of service
Improves lead times

Recent Developments in Lean Thinking
Lean Six Sigma – A methodology that combines the organizational elements and tools of Six Sigma with Lean’s focus on waste reduction.
Lean Supply Chain Management – An extension of the Lean philosophy to supply chain efforts beyond production. Lean supply chain management seeks to minimize the level of resources required to carry out all supply chain activities.
Synchronizing the Supply Chain Using Kanbans
For a kanban system to work properly, there must be a smooth, consistent flow of material through the links of supply chain.
