Productivity
Productivity is the ratio of output (which we gain from a process or activity) to input we enter to process or use during the activity.
Productivity = Output / Input
5 approaches for increasing the productivity
1-Increase in output / keep the input constant (Practical)
2-Keep the output constant / decrease the input (Practical)
3-Increase the output / decrease the input
4-Increase the output (dramatic) / increase the input (small)
5-Decrease the output (small) / decrease the input (dramatic)
What we are supposed to optimize?
1-Quality 2-Cost 3-Delivery/Due date»_space;> The combination of these three means “The Product”
What does mean “Total Management”?
Optimizing input, production and product
What are the inputs?
4M = Man, Material, Machine, Method + Information
What are in the scope of Production?
Design, Procurement, Operations
Increase in Productivity needs ……
A systematic approach to be implemented properly.
What is KAIZEN?
“Continuous Improvement” in the whole organization
KAIZEN focuses on …
Small and eventual improvements, not revolutionary actions to improve.
Three slogans of KAIZEN
Do not say it is impossible.
Do not fear failure.
Do not deny the opinions of other persons.
What is PDCA?
Implementation framework of KAIZEN
Plan in PDCA
1.Identify gap between present status and target
2.Analyze Root Cause
3.Formulate Countermeasure
Do in PDCA
1.Develop Implementation Plan
2.Communicate Plan
3.Execute Plan
Check in PDCA
1.Monitor Progress of Implementation Plan
2.Modify Plan if Necessary
3.Monitor Results
Action in PDCA
1.Evaluate Results
2.Standardize Effective Countermeasures
3.Identify Further Improvement Projects
4.Spread Best Practice
5.Start PDCA Again
