Value Stream Mapping – Lean Manufacturing

All Lean Manufacturing is really trying


to do is to get one process to make
only what the next process needs
when it needs it.
Lean Manufacturing links all processes
– from the final Customer back to raw
material – in a smooth flow without
detours that generates the shortest
Lead Time, highest Quality, and
lowest Cost.

Value Stream Mapping – Lean Manufacturing

The only way to actually learn lean methods is to apply the techniques
yourself hands-on with a bit of coaching. The willingness to try, fail,
and learn simply goes with the territory when implementing changes
in long-established mass production practices.

Action may not always bring success, but there is no success without action.

Value Stream Mapping – The 5 Lean Principles

Define Value - Specify value from the Customer


perspective.
Map Value Stream - Identify the value stream for
each product or service and challenge all of the
non-value adding steps (wastes) currently necessary
to create and deliver this product or service. Add
nothing than value.

Create Flow - Make the product or service creation and delivery process flow
through the remaining value-added steps.
Establish Pull – Introduce pull between all process steps where continuous flow is
possible.
Pursuit Perfection – Manage toward perfection so that the number of steps and the
amount of time and information needed to create and deliver this product or
service.

Value Stream Mapping – The 7 Wastes

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."
Inventory

Motion

Defects Waiting

Extra Processing
Steps

The 7 Wastes

Overproduction Transportation

Value Stream Mapping focuses primarily on waste elimination due to inventory,


waiting, and overproduction.

The 7 Wastes – Extra Processing Steps

Extra Processing Steps


Many organizations use expensive high precision equipment where simpler tools
would be sufficient. This often results in poor plant layout because preceding or
subsequent operations are located far apart. In addition they encourage high
asset utilization (over-production with minimal changeovers) in order to recover
the high cost of this equipment.
Toyota is famous for their use of low-cost automation, combined with
immaculately maintained, often older machines. Investing in smaller, more
flexible equipment where possible; creating manufacturing cells; and combining
steps will greatly reduce the waste of inappropriate processing.

The 7 Wastes – Waiting

Waiting
Typically more than 99% of a product's life in traditional batch-and-queue
manufacture will be spent waiting to be processed. Much of a product’s lead
time is tied up in waiting for the next operation; this is usually because material
flow is poor, production runs are too long, and distances between work centers
are too great.
Goldratt (Theory of Constraints) has stated many times that one hour lost in a
bottleneck process is one hour lost to the entire factory’s output, which can
never be recovered. Linking processes together so that one feeds directly into
the next can dramatically reduce waiting.

The 7 Wastes – Transportation

Transportation
Transporting product between processes is a cost incursion which adds no
value to the product. Excessive movement and handling cause damage and
are an opportunity for quality to deteriorate. Material handlers must be used
to transport the materials, resulting in another organizational cost that adds
no Customer value.
Transportation can be difficult to reduce due to the perceived costs of
moving equipment and processes closer together. Furthermore, it is often
hard to determine which processes should be next to each other. Mapping
product flows can make this easier to visualize.

The 7 Wastes – Defects

Defects
Having a direct impact to the bottom line, quality defects resulting in rework
or scrap are a tremendous cost to organizations. Associated costs include
quarantining inventory, re-inspecting, rescheduling, and capacity loss.
In many organizations the total cost of defects is often a significant
percentage of total manufacturing cost. Through employee involvement and
Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), there is a huge opportunity to
reduce defects at many facilities.

The 7 Wastes – Motion

Motion
This waste is related to ergonomics and is seen in all instances of bending,
stretching, walking, lifting, and reaching. These are also health and safety
issues, which in today’s litigious society are becoming more of a problem for
organizations. Jobs with excessive motion should be analyzed and redesigned
for improvement with the involvement of plant personnel.

The 7 Wastes – Overproduction

Overproduction
Simply put, overproduction is to manufacture an item before it is actually
required. Overproduction is highly costly to a manufacturing plant because it
prohibits the smooth flow of materials and actually degrades quality and
productivity. The Toyota Production System is also referred to as “Just in Time”
(JIT) because every item is made just as it is needed. Overproduction
manufacturing is referred to as “Just in Case.” This results in high storage costs
and makes it difficult to detect defects in a timely manner. The simple solution
to overproduction is turning off the tap; this requires a lot of courage because
the problems that overproduction is hiding will be revealed. The concept is to
schedule and produce only what can be immediately sold/shipped and improve
machine changeover/set-up capability.

The 7 Wastes – Inventory

Inventory
Work in Progress (WIP) is a direct result of overproduction and waiting. Excess
inventory tends to hide problems on the plant floor, which must be identified
and resolved in order to improve operating performance.
Excess inventory consumes productive floor space, delays the identification of
problems, and inhibits communication. By achieving a seamless flow between
work centers, many manufacturers have been able to improve Customer
service and slash inventories and their associated costs.

The 7 Wastes – Summary

In the latest edition of the Lean Manufacturing


classic Lean Thinking, Underutilization of
Employees has been added as an eighth waste.
Organizations employ their staff for their
nimble fingers and strong muscles but forget
they come to work everyday with a free brain.
It is only by capitalizing on employees'
creativity that organizations can eliminate the
other seven wastes and continuously improve
their performance.

Many changes over recent years have driven organizations to become world
class organizations or Lean Enterprises. The first step in achieving that goal is to
identify and attack the seven wastes. As Toyota and other world-class
organizations have come to realize, Customers will pay for value added work,
but never for waste.

Value Stream Mapping – Definition & Benefits

• Value stream mapping is a lean manufacturing technique used to analyze the


flow of materials and information currently required to bring a product or
service to a consumer.
• A sophisticated flow charting method that uses symbols, metrics, and arrows
to help visualize processes and track performance. This method helps
determine which steps add value and which do not.
• The Value Stream represents the actions taken to bring a product into
existence, from the raw material stage to the finished good stage.
• The Value Stream Map is a pictorial representation of the flow of material
and information as the product is being built.
• A pencil-and-paper tool used: a) to follow a product or information (or
both) activity path from beginning to end and draw a visual representation
of every process (value and non-value) in the material and information
flows. b) then to design a future state map which has waste removed and
creates more flow and c) to end up with a detailed implementation plan for
the future state.

Value Stream Mapping – 4. Design Future State

The goal of value-stream mapping is to highlight sources of waste and


eliminate them by building a chain of production where the individual
processes are linked to their customers either by continuous flow or by pull.
The first iteration of a future-sate map should take product designs, process
technology, and plant location as given and seek to remove as quickly as
possible all sources of waste not caused by these features.

Value Stream Mapping – Withdrawal & Production Kanban

• Kanban means “visible record”, "signboard“, or "billboard". Kanban is a signaling


system to trigger action. Kanban uses cards, plastic markers, balls, an empty part
transport trolley, or simply a floor location to trigger the movement, production, or
supply of a unit in a factory. Kanban cards, describe the parts, supplier and quantity.
When the bin is emptied, the Kanban is used to order more.
• “Withdrawal" kanbans are used to relocate items from one workplace to another.
• “Production" kanbans are used to replace the material when it is used or sold.
• “Signal” kanbans are used to initiate production of a predetermined batch size of a
specific part.

finished goods need to occur as a flow.

Value Stream Mapping – Sequenced Pull

• Sometimes one can install a “Sequenced Pull” between 2 processes, instead of a


complete Supermarket or a FIFO Lane.
• Sequenced Pull means that the supplying process produces a predetermined quantity
of parts (e.g. one subassembly) directly to the customer process’ order. This works if
lead time in the supplying process is short enough for “production- or build-to-order”,
and if the customer process follows strict “ordering” rules.
• Sequenced Pull is sometimes called the “Golf Ball System” because colored balls or
disks (that roll nicely down a chute to the supplying process) are sometimes used to
provide production instruction.

Value Stream Mapping – Leveling Production Mix

• Leveling the Product Mix means distributing the production of different products evenly
over a time period. For example, instead of assembling all the “Type A” products in the
morning and all the “Type B” products in the afternoon, leveling means alternating
repeatedly between smaller batches of “A” and “B”.
• The more you level the product mix at the pacemaker process, the more able you will be
to respond to different Customer requirements with a short lead time while holding little
finished-goods inventory. This also allows the upstream Supermarket to be smaller.

Value Stream Mapping – SMED

• Single-
Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED
SMED)
SMED provides a rapid and efficient way of converting a
manufacturing process from running the current product to running the next product.
This rapid changeover is key to reducing production lot sizes and improving flow.
• The phrase "single minute" does not mean that all changeovers and startups should take
only one minute, but that they should take less than 10 minutes (in other words, "single-
digit minute").
• There are seven basic steps to reducing changeover using the SMED system:
1. OBSERVE the current methodology (A)
2. Separate the INTERNAL and EXTERNAL activities (B). Internal activities are those that can only
be performed when the process is stopped, while External activities can be done while the last
batch is being produced, or once the next batch has started. For example, go and get the
required tools for the job BEFORE the machine stops.
3. Convert (where possible) Internal activities into External ones (C) (pre-heating of tools is a good
example of this).
4. Streamline the remaining internal activities, by simplifying them (D). Focus on fixings – For
example, it is only the last turn of a bolt that tightens it - the rest is just movement (waste).
5. Streamline the External activities, so that they are of a similar scale to the Internal ones (D).
6. Document the new procedure, and actions that are yet to be completed.
7. Do it all again: For each iteration of the above process, a 45% improvement in set-up times
should be expected, so it may take several iterations to cross the ten minute line.

Value Stream Mapping – Takt Image & Pitch

• Takt Image is any sort of visual way to monitor process performance to takt time.
• For example we can use a hand-drawn chart, a digital display board, a material delivery
trolley that comes around every multiple of takt time, or a signal given off by a machine
when a product is completed on-time to takt time.
• One of the most common types of takt image is called Pitch. When used in the context of
conveyance, pitch is also a calculated number. Typically used at the pacemaker process,
pitch is calculated as takt time multiplied by the pack out quantity. In other words if the
takt time is 3 minutes per piece and the pack out quantity is 10 pieces per container the
pitch is 30 minutes per container.
– Takt time = 3 minutes / piece
– Pack-out quantity = 10 pieces / container
– Pitch = 10 pieces x 3 minutes / piece = 30 minutes
– Takt image = 30 minutes / container
– Every 30 minutes a material handler would arrive to remove the box and also
replenish material.
• Pitch is extremely useful when managing large or bulky items that need to be removed
from the line periodically. Pitch also functions as takt image because the filling and
removing of a box every 30 minutes is a very visual way of letting you know if you are
meeting takt.

Value Stream Mapping – Level Production Volume

• A tool that some organizations use to help level both the mix and the volume of
production is a load-leveling box.
• A load-leveling box has a column of Kanban slots for each pitch interval, and a row of
Kanban slots for each product type. In this system Kanban indicate not only the quantity
to be produced, but also how long it takes to produce that quantity (based on Takt
Time).
• Kanban are placed (loaded) into the leveling box in the desired mix sequence by product
type.

Action planning is the process of planning what needs to be done, when it


needs to be done, by whom it needs to be done, and what resources or inputs
are needed to do it.
Most action plans consist of the following elements:
• a statement of what must be achieved (the outputs or result areas that
come out of
• the strategic planning process);
• a spelling out of the steps that have to be followed to reach this objective;
• some kind of time schedule for when each step must take place and how
long it is
• likely to take (when
when);
when
• a clarification of who will be responsible for making sure that each step is
• successfully completed (who
who);

Value Stream Mapping – Excellence in Execution

Gordon Eubanks - “Strategy gets you on the playing field, but execution pays
the bills.”

Larry Bossidy - “The trouble is there are too many companies that basically
believe in socialism. They give stock options to everybody, give pay increases
that are the same to everybody within the same salary scale. If you don't
differentiate, you can't possibly be an execution company! And if you don't
single out for reward the people who get things done for you, then you
won't keep the people who will ultimately run the company successfully.”

Geoffrey Moore - “A large number of execution problems are really direction


problems.”
