Lean manufacturing is a production method aimed primarily at reducing times within the production system as well as response times from suppliers and to customers. It is closely related to another concept called just-in-time manufacturing (JIT manufacturing in short). Just-in-time manufacturing tries...
What components might we need to assemble or what process do we go through before we can consider that Standard Work Instructions for the Manufacturing Process have been completed? Basically, we need the following ingredients in terms of deliverables and process to create them: 1. Observe the wor...
Takt timeis the average time between the start of production of one unit and the start of production of the next unit, when these production starts are set to match the rate of customer demand. If a customer wants 10 units per week, then, given a 40-hour work week and steady flow thr...
Lean manufacturing is a generic process management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS)
Purpose – A lean manufacturing metric called Takt time is used as a benchmark evaluation measure to evaluate service quality at fast food restaurants. The metric is applied to find the relative efficiency between three fast food restaurants belonging to different chains. The purpose of this paper...
The following are characteristics of Lean manufacturing: Waste minimization without sacrificing productivity Considers waste created through overburden and waste created through unevenness in work loads Emphasizes what adds value and reduces everything that does not add value Derived from the Toyota...

Standardized Work is documented procedures for manufacturing that capture best practices (including the time to complete each task). It must be “living” documentation that is easy to change. Takt Time Takt Time is the pace of production (e.g., manufacturing one piece every 34 seconds) that ...
DOWNTIME: 8 Wastes of Lean When TPS was first created there were only seven wastes that were recognized. However, with the gradual changes that came with Lean manufacturing, there was one more waste added to the list to help production facilities a little bit more in improving working conditio...
