Translation: there is no“Silver Bullet Technology”.This is more system &management thantechnology.7

Basic Goal To reduce cost by Elimination of waste– Excessive production resources– Overproduction– Excessive inventory– Unnecessary capital investment Respect for peopleSee Toyota Production System, Yasuhiro Monden15

Simulation of a 20 machine, 19 buffer (cap 10 parts)Transfer line. Each machine with one minute cycle timecould produce 4800 parts per week. MTTF 3880 minutes,MTTR 120 minutes. See Gershwin p63-64Perfect machines, buffer bufferAve (3249 sim, 3247 analy)Zero bufferN* 240 parts16

Buffer capacity Vs MTTR MTTR 120 minutes N* 2 x 120 x 1 part/minute 240 240 x 19 buffers 4560 ( one week) There must be a better way!CHANGE THINKING, REDUCE VARIATION17

What causes variation? Quality issues Delivery time issues Unavailable resources issues18

What causes variation? Quality issues– Check quality, prevent propagation Delivery time issues– Just in Time, smooth flow, mix models,standard work Unavailable resources issues– Flexible machines and cross trained workers19

Quality Issues Make quality problems obvious– Error checking (Pokeyoke), Pull system Reduce WIP, which hides problemsStop the lineFix it nowCooperative problem solving20

Delivery Time Issues Kanban card: type & quantity needed– Smooth production– “Takt” time available time/demand– Standardize work– Reduce set-up– Design machine layout - TPS cells– Autonomation - autonomous defect controlMonden21

Unavailable Resource Issues Fast set up– Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) Flexible (general purpose) machines– Toyota Cells Cross-trained work force22

Autonomation Monden claims that the word “autonomation” comes from the Japanese word Jidoka. whichhas two meanings, the first is automation in the usual sense, to change from a manual processto a machine process. The second meaning is “automatic control of defects”. He says this isthe meaning coined by Toyota. This second meaning is sometimes referred to as NinbennoaruJidoka, which literally translates into automation with a human mind. Monden goes on to saythat “although autonomation often involves some kind of automation, it is not limited tomachine processes but can be used in conjunction with manual operations as well. In eithercase, it is predominantly a technique for detecting and correcting production defects andalways incorporates the following devices; in mechanism to detect abnormalities or defects; amechanism to stop the line or machine when abnormalities or defects occur. When a defectoccurs, the line stops, forcing immediate attention to the problem, an investigation into itscauses, and initiation of corrective action to prevent similar defects from occurring again ” Reference; Yasuhiro Monden, Toyota Production System,23

Balancing and Leveling Balanced line: adjust process time forsmooth flow “Takt time” Leveled Line: each product is produced inthe needed distribution.AABCA29

Pull System at the Supermarket30

Pull SystemsThe orders arrives at the end of the line and are “pulled” out of thesystem. WIP between the machines allows quick completion. System stops when there are noorders Disruptions are obvious Product differentiation at the end31

Push Systems –Order (from centralized decision process) arrives at the front of thesystem and is produced in batches of size “B”.Process time at each step may not be balanced.123 .NTime 0Time T1Time T2Time T3Time 32TN

J T. Black – 7, 87. Reduce WIPMake system reliable,build in mechanismsto self correct,reduceinventory8. Build Vendor programPropagate low WIPpolicy to yourvendors, reduce # ofvendors, make ontime performance partof expectation33

TPS Cell: Example1. Work flow (part separate from worker)2. Standard work (highly specified)3. Production rate flexibilityRef: J T. Black Ch 434

Machining CellOperator moves partfrom machine to machine(including “decouplers”)by making traversearound the cell.35

Cell Features “Synchronized”, sequential production Operator decoupled from individualmachines Operator integrated into all tasks Goal: single piece Flow Best with single cycle automatics, but canbe done manually tooSee Brigg & Stratton Video36

Is there a best way to build a car? Maccoby HBR 1997Other Ref: “Just Another Car Factory” Rinehart, Huxley and Robertson,“Farewell to the Factory”, Milkman53

Work practices and peopleissues “Failed” TPS attempts; GM Linden NJ,CAMI, GM-Suzuki, Ontario Canada. Successes GM NUMMI, Saturn. ToyotaGeorgetown, KY Maccoby HBR 1997 Other Ref: “Just Another Car Factory” Rinehart, Huxley andRobertson, “Farewell to the Factory”, Milkman54

According to Maccoby’s Review Failure Examples:– failures at middle management– pressure from above to meet targets, lack oftrust from below, but – both plants adopted some aspects of lean,and– both plants improved55

NUMMI and Georgetown workers have different attitude do not fear elimination play important role .go to Georgetown and find out56

NUMMI plant today - Tesla57

TPS Summary High quality and low cost paradigm shift Many elements to the system– Make system observable– Produce to demand– Study defects and eliminate– Institutionalize change– Trust Many companies have imitated TPS58

Four Rules Rule 1: All work shall be highly specified as to content, sequence, timingand outcome. Rule 2: Every customer-supplier connection must be direct, and there mustbe an unambiguous yes-or-no way to send requests and receive responses. Rule 3: The pathway for every product and service must be simple anddirect. Rule 4: Any improvement must be made in accordance with the scientificmethod, under the guidance of a teacher, at the lowest possible level in theorganization.Spear and Bowen62
