Lean Manufacturing is a manufacturing philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement and the elimination of waste in the production process. It's based on the idea of delivering value to customers with less waste, which increases productivity and profitability. By reducing waste, Lean Manufacturing aims to increase efficiency and minimize costs, while maximizing customer value.
Lean Manufacturing is important because it helps organizations to identify and eliminate waste in their processes, which can lead to increased profitability, improved quality, and higher customer satisfaction. It also promotes teamwork, communication, and employee engagement, which can improve morale and productivity.
The 07 Deadly Waste are:
1. Overproduction: producing more than what is required by the customer or producing too early before it is required.
2. Waiting: waiting for materials, instructions, equipment, etc., leading to idle time and reduced productivity.
3. Transportation: unnecessary movement of products or people within or between facilities that adds no value.
4. Processing: performing operations that are not necessary or overprocessing an item beyond its required standard.
5. Motion: extra motion (walking, reaching, lifting, etc.) that doesn't add value to the process.
6. Inventory: excess inventory of raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods waiting for its turn to get processed or Customer demand.
7. Defects: producing defective products that result in rework, scrap, or even customer dissatisfaction.
By identifying and eliminating these wastes, organizations can improve their operations and reduce costs,resulting in better utilization of resources and an increase in overall performance.
