Poka-yoke
Safeguards built into a process to reduce the possibility of errors
Team concept
Use of small teams of workers for process improvement
Kanbans
Ideal number of kanban cards
DT (1 X ) C where N N Total number of containers (1 card per container) D planned usage rate of using workcenter Average waiting time for replenishment of parts plus T average production time for a container of parts X C Policy variable set by management that relects possible inefficiency in the system(the closer to0, the more efficient the system Capacity of a standard container (should be no more than 10 percentof daily usage of the part
Limited WIP
Benefits of lower WIP
Lower carrying costs Increased flexibility Aids scheduling Saves costs of scrap and rework if there are design changes Lower cycle-time variability
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance
Maintaining equipment in good operating condition and replacing parts that have a tendency to fail before they actually do fail
Traditional
Much to offset forecast errors, late deliveries
Lean
Minimal necessary to operate
Deliveries
Lot sizes Setup; runs Vendors
Few, large
Large Few, long runs Long-term relationships are unusual Necessary to do the work
Many, small
Small Many, short runs Partners

Example-2: Page 634 Ques: Usage at a work center is 300 parts per day and a slandered container holds 25 parts. It takes an average of .12 day for a container to complete a circuit from time a kanban card is received until the container is returned empty. Compute the number of kanban cards (containers) needed if X= .20. Ans: We know, N= D(T) (1+X)/C (Kanban Formula) Where, D=300 parts per day T= .12 day (average) X= .20 C= 25 parts per container. (how much) So, N =300(.12)(1+.20)/25 =1.728 =2
