Process Introduction and Lean Thinking Flashcards
What is FACE Analysis
is the process Fast?
is the process Accurate?
is the process Cost Effectively?
is the process Easy?
What is the difference between Value Stream Maps and Process Maps?
Value Stream Maps are made up of different Processes
Processes are made up of different Tasks
What is the difference between Value Add and non-value add
what the customer is, or is not, willing to pay for
What is 5S and Visual Management”
A visual process where employees and customers get clear signals on how the process is working

What are the 5S’s
Sorting - segregate and discard
Storing - arrange and Identify
Sanitizing - Clean and inspect
Standardizing - Operator Indépendant
Sustaining - involve self dicipline
what is the intent of standard work?
clarify and document the best process
ensure consistency
provide baseline
why does quick changeovers help the process?
Short changeover times =
more frequent changeovers =
smaller batch sizes =
shorter lead times =
COMPETATIVE ADVANTAGE
Determining Labor force needed
(sum of total labor content * model percent) / Takt Time
what is “one piece flow”
continuous flow keeps work flowing, reduces waiting time, along the shortest distance
Flow time formula
WIP / Production Rate
