Chapter 12 Flashcards
lean production
integrated activities designed to achieve high-volume, high-quality production using minimal inventories, work-in-process, and finished goods
customer value
something the customer is willing to pay for
waste
anything that does not add value from the customer’s perspective
value stream
these are the value-adding and nonvalue-adding activities required to design, order, and provide a product from concept to launch, order to delivery, and raw materials to customers
Waste reduction
optimization of value-adding activities and elimination of nonvalue-adding activities that are part of the value stream
Components of the lean supply chain
Lean Suppliers lean procurement lean manufacturing lean warehousing lean logistics lean customers
attributes of lean suppliers
respond to changes
have lower prices
deliver on time
attributes of lean procurement
automation and visibility are key
e-procurement relates to automatic transaction
attributes of lean manufacturing
produce WHAT customers want in the QUANTITY they want, WHEN they want it
attributes of lean warehousing
eliminating nonvalue-adding steps
lean logistics
movement of material through a system
i.e. - optimized mode selection,
multi-stop truckloads
lean customers
they value speed and flexibility and expect high levels of delivery performance
Value stream mapping (VSM)
graphical way to analyze where value is or is not being added as material flows through a process
Lean Supply Chain Design Principles
lean layouts
lean production schedules
lean supply chains
Kaizen
Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement
lean layouts
Group technology
Quality at the source
JIT production
lean production schedules
Uniform plant loading
Kanban production control system
Determination of number of Kanbans needed
Minimized setup times
Lean Supply Chains
Specialized plants
Collaboration with supplier
Building a lean supply chain
Preventive maintenance
Periodic inspection and repair designed to keep equipment reliable
Group technology
philosophy in which similar parts are grouped into families, and the processes required to make the parts are arranged in a specialized workcell
*Quality at the source
Philosophy of making factory workers personally responsible for the quality of their output- do it right the first time
JIT Production (just-in-time
Typically applied to repetitive manufacturing
Ideal lot size or production batch is one
Kanban
signaling device used to control production
Means “sign” or “instruction card” in Japanese
Kanban pull system
inventory or production control system that uses a signaling device to regulate flows
