21 st century manufacturing not without the basic

21ST CENTURY MANUFACTURING “NOT WITHOUT THE BASICS”

2

EVOLUTION OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES, SYSTEMS AND TOOLS

• 1950-1960 – Manual systems began migrating onto the fist computers, Order Point, Min-Max, EOQ, Scheduling Boards migrated into the first MRP systems

• 1970-1980 – Computer systems became more sophisticated (DBMOP, COPICS), MRP became MRPII

• 1990-2009 – Introduction of complex ERP systems, Internet, Extranet, new tools Lean, SCM, Six Sigma, Kanban, Kaizen, VMI, etc.

3

DURING THIS EVOLUTION PROCESS, SYSTEMS AND TOOLS WERE BEING

IMPLEMENTED

• New concepts were being introduced

• Companies invested in education and training

• Manufacturing came out of the closet

• Investment in Technology was being made

4

MANUFACTURING SEEMS TO HAVE A COMMON GOAL

• We were all in it together

• Learning the new tools and applying these techniques

• Manufacturing began to have a common language

• The Basics were being implemented in companies from small to large

5

THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS (BASICS)

• Bill of Materials• Inventory Management• Shop Floor Control (Routings)• Formal Purchasing• Master Production Scheduling• Material Requirement Planning• Capacity Planning • Forecasting• Production Control• Material Management

6

THE BASICS REQUIRED

• Accuracy that approaches 100%

• Detailed and continuous training and education

• Accountability

• Management Desire

7

THIS EVOLUTION HAS NEVER STOPPED

• New systems, processes and tools exist today that have been developed to meet the demands of a very complex manufacturing environment

8

THE NEW ENVIRONMENT BRINGS

• Challenging Global Competition

• Tremendous Cost Pressures

• Environmental Issues

• Fast Paced Technology Change

9

WORK FORCE REDUCTION

Due To Cost Pressures Companies Have Been Forced To Reduce Their Workforce

“Few Skilled Employees Wearing Many Hats”

10

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Companies have drastically cut back on the amount they spend for education and training

11

KNOWLEDGE DRAIN

• Continued employee drain starting in the 60’s and continuing today at an alarming pace.

• This is leaving a large knowledge void especially when it comes to the basics

12

TO COMPETE TODAY, MANUFACTURING MUST FIND A

WAY TO EMBRACE AND IMPLEMENT 21ST CENTURY

SYSTEMS, TOOLS AND PROCESSES

13

21ST CENTURY TOOLS AND PROCESSES

• LEAN MANUFACTURING• LEAN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT• SIX SIGMA• ERP• MIX MODEL SCHEDULING• KANBAN• VMI• VALUE MAPPING• S&OP• DEMAND MANAGEMENT

14

DESIRE TO CHANGE

In most cases we have found that the driving reason for a company to embrace new tools and systems is when their business is facing a major threat.

THE CHALLENGE

17

ROAD BLOCKS

The Basic Systems, Processes and Tools cannot support the desired change to 21st Century thinking.

18

REASONS FOR THE ROAD BLOCKS

• Core competencies have eroded over time and cannot support new thinking without major improvement.

• Core competencies were never in place or accurate. (Company operating on manual)

• Management and workforce desire does not match need.

19

REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPLEMENTING 21ST CENTURY TOOLS

2. The Basics in Place and being used to run the business.

3. Accurate Data Base (BOM’s, Routings, Inventory).

ELIMINATION OF THE 7 WASTES

1. Waste of over-production– Quantity– Timing

2. Waste of waiting (delay)– Leveling of production flow– Line balancing– Lack of parts– Machine downtime

3. Waste of transportation– Improve plant layout– Decrease distance– Improve method

4. Waste of process itself– Should we produce these products?– Is this the best way?– Use of value engineering, value analysis

ELIMINATION OF THE 7 WASTES (cont.)

5. Waste of stock– Small lots– SMED– Inventory is costly– Space reduction

6. Waste of motion– Have parts nearby– Arm's length

7. Waste of making defective products– Prevention– Poka-yoke– Find it when made– Self-inspection– Successive inspection– Process capability

LEAN/AGILE MANUFACTURINGFACTORY FLOW CORE PRINCIPLES

1. Everything moves within four hours

2. If the downstream center can't use it – Don’t do it!

3. Everything moves to point of consumption

4. Eliminate steps in process

5. No paperwork

6. No material handling

7. No labor reporting

8. No computer transactions/systems

9. Assume "pipe line" flow (no backflow)

10. No inspection or testing (robustness)

LEAN/AGILE MANUFACTURINGFACTORY FLOW CORE PRINCIPLES (cont.)

11. No subassemblies

12. Carrier control (robustness)

13. All parts and processes under SPC control

14. No holding containers

15. Direct ship from last operation

16. Direct receipt for first operation

17. No inventory

18. Standardized processes

19. Standardized components

20. Standardized tools

21. Universal packaging

22. Universal assembly lines

23. Universal equipment

LEAN SCHEDULING THE ADVANCED PLANNER’S ROLE IN THE

LEAN MIXED-MODEL SCHEDULING PROCESS

1. Prepare ABC analysis2. Combine like items (product family - customer families)3. Identify business rules for customer service levels4. Develop inventory and shop floor philosophy

Lead time Lot sizes Safety stock5. Communicate with supply chain6. Develop setup matrix7. Develop order launch rules (priority planning)8. Develop manufacturing loading strategies Certain products to certain lines Standard setup tools for "A" items

Load leveling/final assembly scheduling rules9. Develop customer allocation matrix10. Load software order modifiers11. Document all rules12. Manage all exception messages13. Post implementation review (quarterly)

KAIZENKAIZEN: KAIZEN means improvement. Moreover it means continuing improvement in personal life, home life, social life, and working life. When applied to the workplace KAIZEN means continuing improvement involving everyone – managers and workers alike.

Policy Deployment: the process of implementing the policies of a KAIZEN program directly through line managers and indirectly through cross-functional organization.

TQM (Total Quality Management): organized KAIZEN activities involving everyone in a company – managers and workers – in a totally integrated effort toward improving performance at every level. This improved performance is directed toward satisfying such cross-functional goals as quality, costs, scheduling, manpower development, and new product development. It is assumed that these activities, ultimately, lead to increased customer satisfaction.
