plr article line 1 The Five Principles of Lean Manufacturing plr article line 2 plr article line 3 All companies seek ways to improve their businesses. One of the most common goals of trumping the competition is cutting expenses, which can be best achieved through lean manufacturing strategies. plr article line 4 plr article line 5 But before anything, let us first define what lean manufacturing is. Lean manufacturing is a management concept that supports the 'no waste' policy. These 'wastes' refer to the seven most common reasons for underproductivity and delay identified by companies all over the world. plr article line 6 plr article line 7 They are inventory, over production, waiting time, transportation, processing, scrap and defects and motion. According to studies, most firms waste between 70% and 90% of the resources available to them. These happen when there are huge stockpiles of overruns, or when it takes ten activity levels to achieve something that can be done equally as good as when completed in three steps. The list can go on, but you get the picture. plr article line 8 plr article line 9 The tricky part about implementing lean manufacturing principles is that most of the wastes identified are invisible, making their reduction and eventual eradication challenging. But with careful planning, lean manufacturing should be a walk in the park for your company plr article line 10 plr article line 11 There are five core disciplines in lean manufacturing. Not all firms require their implementation, but at least one of which is necessary for the betterment, or 'leaning', of an organization. plr article line 12 plr article line 13 1) team development plr article line 14 2) cellular manufacturing plr article line 15 3) six sigma and total quality management plr article line 16 4) rapid setup plr article line 17 5) pull scheduling plr article line 18 plr article line 19 To complement the above, the following five lean manufacturing principles are what serve as guidelines for firms that want to maximize value out of their organization. plr article line 20 plr article line 21 Out With Waste plr article line 22 plr article line 23 Lean manufacturing principles focus on eliminating waste from the company. This means taking out unnecessary departments or redundant positions, or eradicating processes that just cause delay. plr article line 24 plr article line 25 If it means terminating jobs, then do so. Lean manufacturing espouses that all resources, land, persons and capital, are used in the best and most efficient way they can be used. plr article line 26 plr article line 27 Do It Right The First Time plr article line 28 plr article line 29 Trial and error methods are simply a waste of resources and time. If enough effort is placed in carefully planning a certain manufacturing process, then there wouldn't be the need to start all over again, or settle with mediocre situations. plr article line 30 plr article line 31 Always Seek The Best plr article line 32 plr article line 33 Every company should always reach for the highest value that can be achieved. All the effort will be futile and major waste if this isn't done so. plr article line 34 plr article line 35 Be Flexible plr article line 36 plr article line 37 Lean manufacturing principles do not support stiff and linear thinking. If something needs to be improved and changed along the way, then do so at once, instead of contending with the original plan that has been eventually found to be resource and time-wasteful along the way. plr article line 38 plr article line 39 Don't Push, Pull plr article line 40 plr article line 41 Consumers should be given the freedom to decide what they want. As a manufacturer, you should impose trends or products to your clients. Rather, you should always be on the lookout for what will make your consumers happy. plr article line 42 plr article line 43 Of course, adopting lean manufacturing principles does not always mean that your company is saved. It still takes careful planning, method-mapping and a lot of discipline to succeed. If your company is not wary of the consequences of strategies that are haphazardly implemented, then these lean manufacturing principles will be in vain -- and total waste. plr article line 44 plr article line 45 plr article line 46 plr article line 47 |
