    Heijunka is a production leveling system that aims to produce products in the quantities and mix demanded by customers using available capacity optimally. Uneven customer orders can lead to an uneven production schedule, large inventories, quality issues, and hidden problems. Heijunka seeks to create a balanced, lean workflow to address these issues through leveling out production quantities and products. It aims to eliminate "mura", or unevenness and waste, which are fundamental to eliminating other inefficiencies in manufacturing.

    The key takeaways are about leveling out production workload using Heijunka and implementing continuous improvement processes like Kaizen.

    Heijunka is a production leveling system that produces the demanded product mix to optimally utilize capacity. It is important because uneven customer orders can lead to excess inventory, quality issues and inefficiencies if not leveled out.

    The 3 M's refer to Muda, Muri and Mura which are waste, overburden and unevenness/irregularity in production that Heijunka aims to eliminate.

    LEVEL OUT THE WORKLOAD: HEIJUNKA

    Heijunka is a system of production-leveling that


    produces the right product mix as demanded by
    the customer by making optimal utilization of the
    available capacity
    WHY IMPLEMENT HEIJUNKA
     Many companies wants to produce what customers
    want and when they want

     They follow build-to-order approach

     However customer orders creates uneven


    production schedule becomes uneven

     This eventually leads to large amount of inventory ,


    hidden problems and poorer quality

     And here arises the need for creating balanced lean


    workflow “Heijunka”
