Lean Dan Toyota Production System: Heru Darmawan, ST., MT
• Definition
• “Doing more with less…”
• Less inventory, less space, fewer worker, etc.
• Coined by James Womack and Daniel Jones
• Similar to Toyota Production System (TPS)
• Initially known as Just-In-Time (JIT)
• Smoothing flow of material to arrive just as it is needed
Lean Operations - Wastes
Lean Operations – Basic Elements
(Dennis, 2007)
STABILITY
• 5S
• Total Productive Maintenance
• When machine is broken down
• When maintenance is started
• Preventive steps
STANDARDIZATION
• Benefits :
– Unnecessary inventory eliminated
– Lower inventory carrying cost
– Quality control
– Stores and warehouse not needed
– Prevent overproduction
JIT – Major Components
• Kanban system
• Production smoothing
• Shortening setup time
• Standardization of operations
• Machine layout and multi-function workers
• Improvement activities and suggestion system
• Visual control system
• Functional management system
JIT – Kanban System
• What it is..
• Type and quantity of units needed are written on a tag-like card called
“Kanban”
• Sent from one workstation to preceeding workstation
• Connecting process; information system
• Better control of production
(what type of waste is eliminated?)
JIT – Kanban System
• Types
• Withdrawal Kanban
• Production-ordering Kanban
• Circulates within factory and with suppliers
• Allow adapting to changing demands
• Withdrawal/productions in lots of small quantities (vs. large batch)
• Changing demands overcome by overtime or process improvements
JIT – Kanban System
• Example
• A manufacturing process producing 100 engines/day
• Subsequent process requests 5 engines per lot to be withdrawn using the
withdrawal kanban
• Equivalent to picking up 20 times/day (and producing 20 times in one day)
JIT – Kanban System
• Example
• Production schedule (daily)
• 250 sedans, 125 hardtops, 125 wagons
• Production smoothing (of the quantity)
JIT – Production Smoothing
• Example
• Determining order of production
• Takt time = 480/500 = 57.5s
• Sedan’s cycle time = 480/250 = 1min 55s
• (max time allowed to produce a sedan)
• Compare this cycle time vs. Takt time
• Remaining time available (=58s); can produce one car
• Thus, produce “sedan,..., sedan,..., sedan”
JIT – Production Smoothing
• Example
• Determining order of production
• Hardtop or Wagon cycle time = 480/125 = 3min 50s
• (max time for producing Hardtop or Wagon)
• Compare with takt time
• Remaining time = 2min 53s
• Three cars can be produced within this remaining time
• Produce “Hardtop, ..., ..., ..., Hardtop, ...”
• Same order for the Wagon
JIT – Production Smoothing
• Example
• Production order becomes...
• “Sedan, hardtop, sedan, wagon, sedan, hardtop, ...”
• Smoothing of the model
JIT – Production Smoothing
• Issues
• Production smoothing usually achieved by mass production, and thus, specific
(large) machines
• Smoothing a large variety of models requires general-purpose machines
• Need for small batch (or lot) size; ideally, “one-piece production”
• Assignment: Find out what “production smoothing” really is.
JIT – Shortening Setup Time
• Common sense
• Producing in a large lot size
• Minimal cost (per piece)
• Because of long setup times (status quo)
• WIP inventory is allowed
• Using TPS
• Reduce inventory (it is muda)
• Shorten setup times (hours to minutes)
JIT – Layout Redesign
• Conventional system
• Machines in a serial layout
• One worker one machine
JIT – Layout Redesign
• Toyota
• One worker operating three (or more) machines
• Multi-function worker
• One-piece production (according to takt)
• Results
• Shorten product lead time
• Eliminate unnecessary inventory
• Improved morale (feeling part of the process)
• Improved knowledge and teamwork
JIT – Standardization of Operations
• Benefits of lean
• Reduced inventory
• Improved quality
• Lower costs
• Reduced space requirements
• Shorter lead time
• Increased productivity
• Greater flexibility
• Better relationships with suppliers
• Increased capacity
• Better use of human resources
