EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The report is basically divided into two parts: the first part is about the Kanban system in Indus motors. The second part focuses on the elimination of the 3 Ms in Indus Motors. The research activity is about the detail system of Kanban technique in Indus Motor Company. The Kanban leads to dramatically reduced inventory as you only make product when required. It highlights other issues in your manufacturing process as the work in progress levels are reduced. It makes you more responsive to your customers internal and external and ultimately will reduce your costs. The customer gives the order to the dealers that what is required by him. The order is put into operational form after the two weeks of getting the order i.e. one week for getting the material from the suppliers as they are purely dealing with customers demand and the other week is for the assembling the product. The company then identify what is needed for the assembling the product. They collaborate wit their suppliers, they have good relation with the suppliers and they give 6 days to complete the orders and get the material on the time. The received material is then put in the quarantine area where they check the specification and the quality material required. If the material is up to the mark then it will then send to the respective warehouse as they have different warehouse for different materials. If the material is not up to the mark then there are two ways to deal with it: the first one is that if the material is rework able then the employees rework on it and then that material can be used afterwards and if the material is not rework able then it will be send back to the suppliers. They do no run the order if there is less than 80% material available. The raw material is present in that assembly line to be able to make product without any stoppages. All the assembly line employees know what to make and in what quantity it should be made. The car begin to assemble will be ended up when the whole car is ready. They do not stop or wait to assemble the car all at the same time. The production has been done in the 2nd week of the 2 weeks planning. They try to finish the production in less than 1 week so that they can overcome any situational factors of the city. Then the products transfer to the customer.
The second research activity is to study the Heijunka in Indus Motor Company. The 3 Ms: Muda is the non value added activities. The advantages include: no over production, low defects, inventory, waiting, unnecessary motion and transportation. Muri is the overburdening people and equipment. The advantages include: no over utilization of equipments, can get the material made from the full potential of the human and machineries. Mura is like unevenness of production schedule due to internal problems like downtime. There are tracks allotted that decreases the unnecessary motion of the employees that decreases the process time.

PRINCIPLE 3
USE PULL SYSTEMS TO AVOID OVERPRODUCTION SUMMARY
The inventory push system is an inventory management system in which the company does not know that the retailer needs the product in a specified quantity identified through the buying pattern of the customer. In this way, the retailer has to hold the bulk of inventory. The inventory pull system is a system in which actual demand is seen and then based on that data; the retailer will tell company to give the specified quantity. In this way, the retailer does not have the burden of bulk inventory. Toyota has started thinking in terms of pulling inventory based on immediate customer demand, rather than using a push system that anticipates customer demands. Pull means that giving customer the authority what he wants, when he wants it and the amount he wants. The Toyota is not a zero inventory system. It relies on stores of materials that are replenished using pull system. Taiichi Ohno recognized that inventory is necessary for smooth flow but it can ultimately create pile of inventory. Push system runs on the projected customer demand. But if the demand changes then schedule will be of no use. He decided to create a signal that the assembly line had used the parts and needed more. He used Kanban i.e. signal of some kind (in the form of sign, signboard, posters etc.). Sending back an empty bin is basically a signal to refill it with specified quantity and send back with detailed information regarding the part and its location. Not only Toyota but throughout the world companies are using Kanban system. Not everything can be replenished based on a pull system; something must be scheduled like high end products. In Toyota, a material handler will come on a timed route and pick it up and go back to a store to replenish what is used. The process of internal and external pull is that factory sends the empty containers to the supplier to get refill. The store is using a Kanban system, when the parts are replenish by sending a Kanban and an empty container back to the production cell. Materials then send to the customer and information is backward in nature.
Kanban is easy to use it to force improvement in production system. Toyota used push system in some way like scheduling of order everyday instead of ordering once in a month. But in this scheduling, Toyota works to make lead times as short as possible. Pull system can effectively be used in the office to save money and help avoid shortage of supplies.

PRINCIPLE 4
LEVEL OUT THE WORKLOAD (HEIJUNKA) SUMMARY
Customers are not predictable and actual orders vary significantly. If the company build product as it is ordered, this will lead to building huge quantities one week, using labor on overtime basis, over utilizing the machineries but next time if orders are light, those labor will have little to do and machines will be underutilized. In this situation, accumulate orders and level the schedule, it will lessen the production lead time, cut the parts inventories, shorter lead time to customers and ultimately satisfaction of customers. Toyota refers to the elimination of the 3 Ms: Muda, Muri and Mura. Muda is the non value added activities leads to lengthen the time, like extra movement of material from factory to the production cell. Muri is the overburdening people and equipment that causes quality and breakdowns of system. Mura is like unevenness of production schedule due to internal problems like downtime. Muda is the only approach to implement lean tools because it is easy to identify and eliminate the waste. Toyota has given the concept of Heijunka, leveling out the work schedule. It is fundamental to eliminate Muda and Muri. Level scheduled production is the production emphasis on the equally level out the production to the whole time span. Unlevel scheduled production works on daily customer demands, i.e. what is required on that specific day. It has some disadvantages like if customer unexpectedly decides to buy an unusually large numbers of products when there is no production of that product. If the company does not sell all the products on the given tie of schedule, leads to pile up inventory that costs high.
The schedule defines to use high labor on one day, and lesson the other day. This will lead to unbalanced use of resources, ultimately to potentially Muda and Muri. The company placed high uneven demand to the supplier. Sometime the raw material is required in high quantity without any prior notice. So, suppliers should be built some inventories for the rainy days, this will lead to bullwhip effect. The benefit of leveling the schedule is that it will reduce the plants inventory and its associated problems. The cost will be vanishing of owning and storing of inventory because the organization makes only what the customers orders. The level schedule leads to level the usage of resources. The demand from organization is smooth out to the organizations supplier. Leveling the schedule to plan the detail of production and standardized work practices. Heijunka can be easily applied in service industry too. It fits the customer demands into leveled schedule like every doctor has pre-specified time to check the patients. They establish standard time for delivering different types of service.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
y y y y They are dealing with Customized product They planned the things before running the process 80% raw material is present for the process running No extra inventory
WEAKNESS
y Time give for reworking of the materials. It can damage the products quality.
OPPORTUNITY
y They can grow their processing ability as they deal with the contracted suppliers. As they are using the Kanban technique so they need the full support and good relation with the suppliers. The people are now moving to the customized products that can increase their revenue
THREAT
y Rework can be sometime creating problem for the company leading to customer dissatisfaction.
13
ADVANTAGES
With a Kanban system in place, managers and supervisors see the benefits of the Kanban system in: Better managed inventory levels Smoother manufacturing flow Overproduction elimination Reduced risk of Inventory obsolescence

MUDA Waste elimination is one of the most effective ways to increase the profitability of any business. Processes either add value or waste to the production of a good or service. The seven wastes originated in Japan, where waste is known as Muda." It includes overproduction, waiting, transporting, inappropriate processing, unnecessary inventory, excessive motion, and defects. Advantages: y y y y Reduce excessive lead times, high storage costs, and makes easier to detect defects. Linking processes together so that one feeds directly into the next can dramatically reduce waiting. Mapping product flows can make this easier to visualize. Investing in smaller, more flexible equipment where possible; creating manufacturing cells; and combining steps will greatly reduce the waste of inappropriate processing. Seamless flow between work centers Reduced excessive motion Reduce defects
y y y
MURA: Mura exists when workflow is out of balance and workload is inconsistent and not incompliance with the standard. The advantages include: no extra inventory, no downtime, no missing parts or defects. MURI: Any activity asking unreasonable stress or effort from personnel, material or equipment. For people, Muri means too heavy a mental or physical burden. For machinery Muri means expecting a machine to do more than it is capable of or has been designed to do. The advantages include: improved quality, safety of peoples health and no breakdowns.

SUPPLIERS
The relationship with suppliers is strong in nature. They select the suppliers that have good background related to the deliveries. As Indus Motors is based on Kanban system, they always want their suppliers to be ready for the order given by them at any time. So, if the company needs any of the raw materials, the supplier will give the material in that 2 weeks time. 80% RAW MATERIAL NOT PRESENT

ASSEMBLING PROCESS
The raw material is present in that assembly line to be able to make product without any stoppages. All the assembly line employees know what to make and in what quantity it should be made. The car begin to assemble will be ended up when the whole car is ready. They do not stop or wait to assemble the car all at the same time. The processing of the order has been done in the 2nd week of the 2 weeks planning. They try to finish the order in less than 1 week so that they can overcome any situational factors of the city. During the assembling if any machine stop working then they stops the whole process of assembling. 80 % RAW MATERIAL IN WAREHOUSE

MUDA
Indus Motors have placed their warehouses and assembly line department to the nearest point so that the transportation time reduces. Shelves at warehouses are placed in an FIFO manner. Picking machines are used to lift heavy equipments. This helps the company to reduce the processing time. 1) Overproduction Indus Motors works on what customers give orders. The company is not producing more than the customer requires. It decreases defects, inventory, waiting, unnecessary motion and transportation. PRODUCE WHAT IS REQUIRED
WAITING
UNNECESSARY MOTION
2) Inventory Inventory is the quantity of parts on stock which are required to manufacture a product. These goods also cause costs to the company. The inventory is ordered what is actually required for the particular order. The company controls the inventory so that money is not wasted on unwanted goods.

5) Transportation The necessary information, products or items are prepared or planned before production has to be taken. The 80% raw material should be present at the time of production. 6) Motion All the things are present in the assembly line; there is no need of extra movement for getting the product. They have allotted tracks for getting the particular material. 7) Over processing The quality has been checked at the point where the products have to be stored before going to the factory. Sometimes, product needs rework but that product is little bit defected in nature. 8) Not used creativity of employees The employees know the skills and ideas about the work. This will help to improve available knowledge and creativity and ultimately increase employee satisfaction.
MURA (UNEVENNESS)
There is no unevenness related to missing parts or defects in the production phase. All the checks are done before the production has been taken place. There are tracks allotted so as to decrease the unnecessary motion to pick up the material.
23
RECOMMENDATION
They should not work on the defected material but send back to the supplier. Because this will lessen the quality of the product.
They should appoint the suppliers that give only material as specified by the company.
For the above recommendation, they should increase the supplier certification terms and condition
