Lean Manufacturing Principles and Tools
Introduction:
Lean is a manufacturing philosophy based in the principle of no waste and involves all aspects related to productivity and economics. In short Lean Manufacturing can be summarized in these simple principles:
1-
2-
3-
4-
Lean manufacturing has identified seven causes of waste, and make use of many other disciplines to achieve lean results. Today no organization could be successful without the implementation of at least some of these tools, although exist many more, these are some of the most recurred simple and effective.
Please click on the title to go the corresponding tutorial
Define and analyze the most common causes of waste in order to correct these waste forms.
Provide the guidelines and philosophy to achieve a clean and organized work area in any department.
This is a systematic yet simple tool for the analysis of problems root causes, it can be used together with other lean tools such as the cause effect diagram
Man, Machine, Materials, Method + Management
This is another methodology tool for problems solutions based on the category source such as personnel, machines and equipment, materials, the methods used and the management policies
Cause Effect or Fish Bone Diagram
Diagram for the visual representation of the sequential root causes
What, Where, Who, When + How + with What
This tool can be used for planning a project or to find a solution to any given problem
Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control
Tool for the analysis of problems root causes, control and prevention
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
Tool to find problem root causes by assigning different grades of severity, occurrence and the resultant effects, it works fine fas a preventive or corrective tool
