DESCRIPTION

Lean manufacturing, also known as the Toyota Production System, is more than just a way to make your company more profitable, meet competitive challenges, and achieve sustainable competitive advantage. It also lowers your company's carbon footprint. Presented at ABB's Automation and Power World 2013, this presentation describes the ways that Lean Manufacturing can make your company not only more efficient, but also a better corporate citizen.

Agenda

�FNGP Seal & Gasket recast from Lean Manufacturing to Green Manufacturing

9

�Transition from Batch & Queue to Single Piece Flow

Agenda

10

�Two examples from Lean Thinking

�Lantech

�Wiremold (power strips)

Agenda

11

�Reduce my company’scarbon footprint?

�Reduce my industry’scarbon footprint?

What are the traditional ways to:

12

�Commuting�HVAC systems�Industrial processes (ovens to fork lift trucks)

Atmospheric emissions

13

�Duplicated servicesTwo airlines that fly halffull planes from O’Hareto Wichita may decide to code-share.

Atmospheric emissions

14

�Sewage�Industrial processes�Underutilized plating operations may be consolidated.

Wastewater emissions

15

�From lights and HVAC�From industrial processes

�A lean manufacturer can speed the exit of high-consuming operations.
