The document discusses lean methodology and its principles of eliminating waste and adding value. It defines lean as redefining work to positively contribute to value creation and meet customer needs. The goals of lean are to reduce costs, shorten lead times through flow, improve quality and customer responsiveness. Lean is based on the Toyota Production System and uses value stream mapping to eliminate waste and add value. The main lean elements discussed are 5S, continuous improvement (kaizen), pull systems (kanban), and identifying and reducing the seven wastes.
2. What is Lean? Lean Thinking redefine(s) the work of functions, departments, and firms so they can make a positive contribution to value creation and speak to the real needs of employees and customers at every point along the stream.

3. Why Lean? Lean is becoming a CPI buzzword Lean manufacturing is key Process Industries Center for Manufacturing Excellence, PICME, January 2005 reports 20 to 30% cost savings Competitive Advantage for the Process Industries AIChE Nov. 2005 Annual Mtg. Cincinnati OH .

5. History of Lean, and its Main Elements Lean terminology was coined by James Womack and Daniel Jones, in the book: Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation . Lean is based on the Toyota Production System (TPS) that Taiichi Ohno and Shigeo Shingo developed for Toyota after WWII Toyota embraced TPS and used Material and Information Flow Mapping to establish flow, eliminate waste and add value Material and Information Flow Mapping Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is used to depict the current and future states of the value stream as an early step of developing and implementing lean systems 5S - Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain Kaizen, (continuous improvement) Frederick Taylor c. 1900, time study Kanban, (pull system) for controlling WIP
6. Concept of Waste Waste is anything other than the minimum amount of equipment, materials, parts, space, and workers time which are absolutely essential to add value to the product
7. The Seven Wastes People Process Product Problems Inefficient layouts Lack of proximity of machines Off-line resources Motion Defects Inventory Transportation Overproduct ion Waiting Time Operator waiting time Long setups and lead times Large batches Making without demand signals Smoothing forecasts/cust. demands Long cycle times Reduced efficiency High overall lead times Costly rework Long delays for rectification Dissatisfied customers High raw material inventory High work-in-process inventory High finished goods inventory Unnecessary movement Extra handling Overprocessing
8. Does this describe your work area? Space is crowded Unneeded items are stacked between work stations Excess inventory and equipment make it difficult to move, work and improve Equipment is dirty and collection point for miscellaneous materials Lean and You
10. Lean and you benefits of 5S A place for everything Everything in its place area identification (queue, racks, scrap, etc.) operator facilities (lockers, information boards, etc.) Everything visible location identification (tools, instruction, etc.) Everyone cleans and checks for damage and problems Benefits: Safety/Quality Attacks Waste Develops a Sense of Pride
