Lean Manufacturing Courseware: An Overview of Essential Lean Concepts
|
Video Based Education From Gray Research and Partners For Excellence Lean Manufacturing: An Overview of Essential Lean Concepts is divided into four sections. In the Overview (total time = 00:29:39), I cover some definitions of lean, its roots in the Toyota Production System, and how resource planning and lean work together. In the next section, I focus on Value-Stream Mapping (total time = 00:41:10). Value-stream maps help you see waste in your processes. They identify where there are inventory buildups, where there is excess lead time, and where there are opportunities for improvement in setup, yield, and processes. By the end of this section, you will have a better understanding of how to develop and analyze a current-state value-stream map, and how to transition from the current-state to a future-state value-stream map. I discuss pull replenishment in the last two sections: Pull Concepts (total time = 00:35:08) and Pull Implementation (total time = 01:07:04). |
