Lean Manufacturing
Within the field of production we consult on lean manufacturing is the systematic identification and elimination of waste from a process while increasing responsiveness to change. The six core methods listed below are the typical tools used to implement lean production systems. Implementation is also often sequenced in the order presented below.
Kaizen
Also known as rapid improvement processes, Kaizen are often considered to be the building block of all lean production methods. It focuses on eliminating waste in the targeted systems and processes of an organization, improving productivity, and achieving sustained continual improvement.
5S
5S originates from The 5S pillars, Sort (Seiri), Set in Order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke). It provides a method for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment. The 5S system reduces the waste and optimizes productivity through maintaining an orderly workplace, using visual cues to achieve more consistent operational results.
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
The TPM method engages all levels and functions in an organization in maximizing the overall effectiveness of production equipment with the goal of total elimination of all losses, including breakdowns, equipment setup and adjustment losses, idling and minor stoppages, reduced speed, defects and rework, spills and process upset conditions, and startup and yield losses.
Cellular Manufacturing/One-Piece Flow Systems
Cellular Manufacturing, or One-Piece Flow Systems, is work units arranged in a sequence that supports a smooth flow of materials and components through the production process with minimal transport or delay.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Production Systems/Kanban
Just-in-time (JIT) production enables a company to produce the products its customers want, when they want them, in the amount they want. JIT leverages the cellular manufacturing layout to significantly reduce inventory and work-in-process (WIP).
Six Sigma
Six Sigma is a system and collection of statistical methods for systemically analyzing processes to reduce process variation. A sigma quality level serves as an indicator of how often defects are likely to occur.
Productive Capacity Building
The concept of productivity has grown to include the human element or the productive capacity building of people. To improve the productivity of a business it is necessary to instil a culture of productive behaviour and best productive practices.
Negotiations and Collaboration
We assist in the negotiation and collaboration between management and workers through the facilitation of enabling agreements in situations of conflict; facilitation of a culture of collaboration.
QOS Assessments
Quality of Service assessments are done internally and to uncover various internal factors that cause companies to lose customers. We also suggest corrective action where the QOS is of an unacceptable level.
