Lean Factory
Lean Factory is a business approach designed to reduce waste, speed up processes and respond more quickly to customer demands. The basic principles of the Lean Factory are elimination of activities that do not create value, fluidization of processes, reduction of stock amount, fast and flexible production structure and quality-oriented work. Lean Factory enables businesses to reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction and gain competitive advantage.
Value And 7 Wastes
Value can be defined as any feature, attribute or transaction that a customer pays for a product or service that makes a difference to it. The aim of businesses is to gain competitive advantage by offering products and services that add value to the customer. However, various wastes and wastes can be found in business processes. At this point, the concepts of Value and 7 Waste come into play.
7 Waste is a concept used to describe the inefficiencies and waste observed in the processes of businesses. These wastes refer to the elements that reduce the efficiency of processes and waste resources. 7 Waste consists of:
-
Overproduction
Producing more than customer demand leads to excess inventory and waste of resources.
-
Wait
Waiting times between processes or at workstations cause inefficiencies and waste of time.
-
Transport
Unnecessary transportation of materials or products leads to waste of time and energy.
-
Process
Unnecessary steps, checkpoints or repetitions increase the complexity of the processes and cause waste of time.
-
Stock
Holding excess inventory increases costs, takes up storage space, and can be a costly way to hide errors.
-
Movement
Unnecessary movements or ergonomic problems at workstations cause inefficiencies and employee fatigue.
-
Errors
Faulty production or faulty operations lead to loss of time and resources and reduce quality.
