• Create precise customer value
- goods and services with higher quality and fewer defects
– with less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time than the traditional system of mass production.
• Remove ‘waste’
– Consume ‘just enough’ recourses
– Do more with less

Defining Value and Waste
• Defining value - an item or feature for which a customer willing to pay.
• Every thing else – waste
• Waste - activities that consume time, resource and/or space but do not add value.
• Lean - Production of product to meet demand on daily basis with minimum lead time & non value added activities eliminated or minimized

Focus on Waste

Value Added Activity
• Test for value added activities
- Transforms product in some way
- Customer sees & willing to pay
- Will the customer know if eliminated

“Lean manufacturing is not a collection of best practices from which manufacturers can pick and choose. It is a production philosophy, a way of conceptualizing the manufacturing process from raw material to finished goods and from design concept to customer satisfaction. Lean is truly a different way of thinking about manufacturing.”
- Running Today’s Factory: A Proven Strategy for Lean Manufacturing, Charles Standard.
Lean manufacturing is a systems approach

Lean Tools to Lean Management
• Lean thinking
“The basics of Lean Thinking is ‘the customer first”
• How do we do that?
“By creating thinking people”
• And how do we do that?
“By creating workplaces that are more human and encourage people to think”

Lean Thinking Principle #2……‘Identify the Value Stream’
All the actions required to bring a specific product or service through the three critical transformation processes:
• Idea transformation: concept to market launch
• Information transformation: order-take through scheduling to delivery
• Physical transformation: raw materials to final customer

Lean Thinking Principles #3,4,5
#3: Make the work flow
• Every time the flow of work stops we consume resources that adds costs but generates no value
#4: Respond only when the customer pulls work
• Overproduction is the worst form of waste as it generate all other waste types e.g. transportation, inventory, waiting,…..
#5: Strive to seek perfection
• The real benchmark is zero waste, not what your competitors are doing!
