- 1. Prepared by Casey Ng LinkedIn group: TPS+1 ENGINEERING
- 2. TPS+1 ENGINEERING group is an active discussion group in LinkedIn of TPS practitioners in strategic planning , product planning, cost planning, purchasing, training, IT development and engineering including new application development, pioneering application for other industries such as health care, servicing, mining, logistic and others The concept of TPS+1 is building on the evolving development of TPS that the current stage of TPS is TPS of previous stage + added elements, therefore, it is continually TPS=TPS+1
- 3. Focus for this week WASTE Topics about Wastes will be rolled out daily, and invite participation range from basic understanding of wastes, history, TPS Japanese Terms about Waste etc Current topics about Waste Had the term MURA (鐚 How do you understand been translated into Should MURA be designed and eliminate Wastes? Do English correctly at all? out from PRODUCT or you start with "present How does MURA PROCESS? capacity = Work + Waste" contribute to Waste?
- 4. Highlights last week: JIDOKA, NDC and QUALITY Contributors Miguel Michael Bret Daniel Casey zkan Bertrand Alan Bakensztos Per Ola John Angel Mulloy Ng zcan Chauveau Charles Contreras Murphy Post Broomfield Loredo The discussions were covered in a number of different topics, with active contributions from the contributors ranging from definitions of defects, how to develop NDC with statistical approach and trouble shoot with Jidoka. It also covered the human touch approach of Jidoka with Andon and shop floor problem solving system that effectively reduce the turn around time of Kaizen. There are also some touch on 6 Sigma statistical approach comparing with Jidoka.

- 8. Ongoing popular discussions Standards should be checked and changed on a regular basis. depending on the process perhaps once a year is sufficient The perfect standard will never exist, as everything is evolving. standard that has not been changed in a year means little Kaizen is happening.. Standard work has three fundamental purposes: 1. training new employees, 2. problem solving, 3. continuous improvement. Therefore, each time there is a new employee or a new problem, the standard should be challenged and improved,.. a critical pause to ask the question what have we learned about the task and the work we do to accomplish the task is appropriate. .. Good S/W will give you the traceability required should defects be produced in the production/manufacturing process. I am not satisfied if I come back from genba without had heard any new idea or had seen an improvement. "Change is the only constant". CHANGE and CHARGE!!!
- 9. One key point in standard work is the link to the demand The most frequent reason to improve the standard through takt time monitoring. In a fluctuating requirement document is to better describe the way of doing the task pattern, how could we define "optimal" standard operating (adapt wording, photos...). procedure? One has to remember one of the purpose of the standard Two ways, adjust opened time keeping the same SOP cycle time work sheet as supporting material for new comer training. or keep opened time constant and adapt number of process To adapt an English say about apples and doctors ... steps (through put quantity) to better match the demand. What One audit a day keeps the trouble at bay! should be preferred? Any other alternative? I challenge everything and often. I want to know (5) Why on any process I observe. Goodyear Tire Co. once boxed up every tire individually and stacked onto a pallet; nobody knew why. After research, they concluded it was to protect the white wall of the tires. That process was created in the 50's and was no longer relevant to today's trends. Standards are only as accurate as the day they are created. So, if we consider that we are in constant "process improvement", which is equivalent to the constant "performance enhancement", we make constant revisions of the standards.. Here is the word play. Could we extend the idea from zero inventory to A mental Challenge for all in this thread negative inventory to other areas? How about Why is the third statement true? from zero defects to negative defects? Or zero accidents? How about negative accidents? A 1. When work is performed in the absence of a standard, this is workplace that actually heals the sick and makes an abnormality healthy people healthier, because it is closer to 2. When standards exist but are not being followed, this is an the ideal process. Now that's something that abnormality makes doing kaizen for the rest of our lives 3. When standards exist and are being followed, this is an worthwhile. abnormality "Without Standards, there can not be Kaizen!" Taiichi Ohno So what's the benchmark for an updated and optimal Pencils and Paper are a humble couple. Lamination sheets, standards? computers, and pens are an arrogant family of concrete heads ;-)
- 10. As volumes would fluctuate up or down we would change our configuration of our production area. True to TPS SMED we had all of our tables on wheels and all of the utilities on a overhead grid system. If our volumes changed from day to day we could change over our production area in less than 5 mins. Also in the "play book" it would have the optimum staffing and correct staffing locations within each cell. If the cell found a better way during the shift we would update the "play book" for the next shift. Standards should not be flexible because that implies that they can be bent in many directions. They must be allowed to bend in only one direction - toward perfection.
