    Lean Manufacturing
    Chapter 2: Lean
    Production and
    Waste in
    Manufacturing
    Edited By: Lim Jiunn Hsuh (Dr)
    Lession Outcomes

    • Upon Completion of this chapter, the students are able to discuss and
    analyse:
    • 2.1 Comparison of Mass production and Lean Production (CO1)
    • 2.2 Seven forms of wastes in manufacturing (CO2).
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    • Definition of Lean Manufacturing - a production practice that considers the
    expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end
    customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Working from the
    perspective of the customer who consumes a product or service, "value“ is defined as
    any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.

    • Lean manufacturing is a production process based on an ideology of maximising


    productivity while simultaneously minimising waste within a manufacturing operation.
    • The lean principle sees waste is anything that doesn't add value that the customers
    are willing to pay for.
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    • Lean Manufacturing (also known as the Toyota Production System) is, in its most basic
    form, the systematic elimination of waste.
    • Five areas drive lean manufacturing/production:
    1. cost
    2. quality
    3. delivery
    4. safety, and
    5. morale.
    • Just as mass production is recognized as the production system of the 20th century,
    lean production is viewed as the production system of the 21st century.
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    Benefits of Lean Production
    Establishment and mastering of a lean production system would allow you to achieve
    the following benefits:
    • Waste reduction by 80%
    • Production cost reduction by 50%
    • Manufacturing cycle times decreased by 50%
    • Labor reduction by 50% while maintaining or increasing throughput
    • Inventory reduction by 80% while increasing customer service levels
    • Capacity in current facilities increase by 50%
    • Higher quality
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    • Higher profits
    • Higher system flexibility in reacting
    to changes in requirements improved
    • More strategic focus
    • Improved cash flow through
    increasing shipping and billing
    frequencies
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    Difference between Lean Production and Mass Production
    • Mass production refers to a manufacturing process in which products are manufactured
    on a mass scale. Lean production refers to a manufacturing process in which items are
    produced based on current demand trends.
    • Here is how lean and mass production differ:
    1. A mass production process focuses on manufacturing in large-sized lots. The idea is to
    manufacture the maximum number of products in one lot.
    - A lean production process focuses on producing as per the latest market demand. For
    example, a high-end car that is priced at several millions may be produced on an order
    basis.
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    2. The mass production process requires the company to stock the manufactured
    products in a warehouse. These products are dispatched to market intermediaries
    (distributors). These distributors then supply these products to retailers.
    - A lean production process generally supplies direct to the customer. Stocking of
    products is not required – however. a market intermediary may be required (for example,
    a car dealer in the case of a custom built car).
    3. Planning for mass production is based on a variety of complex factors like market price,
    competition, inventory levels, time taken for distribution, extra production that is
    required because an advertisement is released, etc. Such planning is complex and
    requires enterprise-level tools.
    - Lean production is easy to plan because it is based on market demand. Figures and
    statistics are known and the production schedules are easy to plan.
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    4. The manufacturing cycle and the sales cycle are separate issues in the mass
    production process.
    - In a lean production process, these two are closely intertwined because the products
    are manufactured based on the latest demand numbers.
    5. Mass production is a “push” type of process – push the products to the market.
    = Lean production is a “pull” process – let the customer pull the product based on its
    demand.
    6. It logically follows the mass production is supply-oriented,
    - while lean production is demand-oriented.
    7. Huge volume of waste is generated in a mass production facility;
    - A lean production facility produces minimal waste
    2.1 Comparison of Mass production and
    Lean Production
    8. Mass production facilities are
    equipped with heavy machinery. These
    facilities typically work in 3 shifts.
    - Lean production facilities may not be
    equipped with bulky machinery. The
    machinery used in lean production is
    compact and movable, and can be easily
    set up.

    Comparing Lean and Traditional manufacturing


    2.2. Seven forms of wastes in manufacturing
    Removal of waste activities
    • In Lean Manufacturing, waste is any activity that consumes time, resources, or space
    but does not add any value to the product or service.
    • Lean manufacturing is, in its most basic form, the systematic elimination of
    - 7 wastes – overproduction, waiting, transportation, inventory, motion, over-
    processing, defective units
    – and the implementation of the concepts of continuous flow and customer pull.
    2.2. Seven forms of wastes in manufacturing
    - In production operation,
    many activities are actually
    non-value adding activities.
    - TPS defines two types of
    waste:
    Type-1: Necessary non value-
    adding activities (necessary
    waste)
    Type-2: Unnecessary non
    value-adding activities (pure
    waste)
    2.2. Seven forms of wastes in manufacturing
    The seven wastes to be eliminated:
    • 1. Overproduction and early production – producing over customer requirements, producing
    • unnecessary materials / products
    • 2. Waiting – time delays, idle time (time during which value is not added to the product)
    • 3. Transportation – multiple handling, delay in materials handling, unnecessary handling
    • 4. Inventory – holding or purchasing unnecessary raw materials, work in process, and finished
    goods
    • 5. Motion – actions of people or equipment that do not add value to the product
    • 6. Over-processing – unnecessary steps or work elements / procedures (non added value
    • work)
    • 7. Defective units – production of a part that is scrapped or requires rework.

    2.2. Seven forms of wastes in manufacturing
    Easy steps to eliminate all 7 wastes:
    - There are five steps to eliminating every - There are four actions you can take
    type of waste, which are: when trying to eliminate waste:
    1. See it: Make waste visible (aware)
    1. Delete it / Stop doing it
    2. Recognize it: Be conscious of waste (find
    the causes of waste) 2. Automate it / Reduce it
    3. Merge it with other activities
    3. Define who is responsible: Be accountable 4. Delegate it / Outsource it (if not
    for waste (planning)
    part of the core value)
    4. Define the size and magnitude: Measure
    the waste (set objectives)
    5. Eliminate or reduce the waste (action)
