Principles for Implementing Lean Manufacturing


Definition of Lean
“A systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-
value-added activities) in a company’s operations.
Lean emphasizes flowing the product at the pull of the customer.”
Lean is implemented through both rapid and continuous
improvement.
Kaizen- “kai’ means “little” or “ongoing”. “Zen” means “for the
better” or “good.” Small continuous improvements on everyone’s
part leads to world class manufacturing.

Principles for Implementing Lean Manufacturing


Kaizen Methodology
1. Select project/opportunity
2. Study design principles/best practices from previous
projects
3. Prepare an analysis of the current state
4. Generate proposed solutions (future state)
5. Develop proposed solution
6. Get feedback on proposed solution
7. Revise and implement solution
8. Measure impact
9. Disseminate
5 Whys
Question asking method used to discover
root cause of a problem

• Why? - The battery is dead. (first why)
• Why? - The alternator is not functioning. (second why)
• Why? - The alternator belt has broken. (third why)
• Why? - The alternator belt was well beyond its useful service life and has
never been replaced. (fourth why)
• Why? - I have not been maintaining my car according to the recommended
service schedule. (fifth why, root cause)
