Production Management
Production Management : Managing production of product in cost effective manner meeting customer needs and organizational objectives.
Kaizen
Everyday and in every way, we should get better and better - Tiger Woods Do the right thing right, the first time and every time - Dr. Deming Hence, Kaizen (Continuous improvement should be the way of doing business)
Purpose of Kaizen
Customer satisfaction i.e. right product, at right place, at right time, at right cost Supplier relations vendor partnership, base rationalization and constant evaluation Getting workers acceptance and overcoming their resistance to change Waste elimination
Kaizen Components
Perceptiveness problem identification Idea development brain storming by focused team to develop innovative ideas (Quality Circles) Decision implementation and effect developing alternate solutions with their costing and implementation of Appears to be the best solution. Evaluation of effect on the process such as flexibility, cost and safety as prime parameters
Kaizen Tools
Five S methodology (house keeping) Suggestion system & PDCA cycle Kanban system Poka Yoke TPM SMED TAKT time analysis
VSM Implementation
Identify target product or service Draw a current state value stream map, showing current steps, delays and information flow for product delivery It can be a production flow or design flow Assess the current state value stream map for eliminating waste Draw a future state value stream map and implement the decided course of action
Poka - Yoke
A Japanese word for Prevention of Inadvertent errors The basic principle of poka-yoke is prevention of defects, rather than eliminating them It is a zero defect control program Mistakes can result from forgetfulness, misunderstanding, errors in identification, lack of skill, absent mindedness, lack of standards or equipment malfunctions
Poka - Yoke
Increase in Productivity and Quality
An approach for mistake proofing processes using methods to avoid simple human errors With fewer or no mistakes, more units are available for use/sales The time consumed on products is less due to standard method of work, hence, higher productivity With mistakes reduction, quality improves
Identification of Losses/Wastes
Losses due to over production Losses due to waiting (including WIP) Losses due to transportation Losses due to inventory Losses due to poor processing Losses due to bad design/improper motion Losses due to defective production
Elimination of Losses
Focused factory networks Group technology Quality at the source JIT production/delivery Uniform plant loading and minimum set up time Kanban production control system Optimal use of all resources
Kanban
Meaning of Kanban It is a card or a sign through which we develop a scheduling system for communicating the demand to the delivery system. It replaces all written work orders, move tickets and routing sheets It authorizes movement of parts/materials through the production system, hence a physical control

Mizusumashi
JIT uses Kanban and Mizusumashi system It is fixed, course pickup production when needed Workers move between assembly lines and storage and bring the material to the line. Such workers are called Mizusumashi System was used in 1950s for raw materials and components between the factories
Mizusumashi
Manual movement to the shop floor as per WIP, through human carts/hands Simulation can be tried for development design Heuristic approach to work out minimum number of containers Present system is AGV and Conveyors among processes and storages Periodic review
Mizusumashi
Parts are kept in the containers for handling / counting Mizusumashi picks up only empty containers, goes to the storage area and fills up the empty containers. Then supply these containers to the work place Worker (Technician) goes to the staging area to wait until the next review
