10 Transformation Directions
- The synchronization of material handling lead time (eg train route) with production takt time, implicitly with the standard time cycle of the equipment/ line.
- The continuous connection between the WIP level and the production mix to minimize WIP value so that between processes there is only one product, to properly plan the set-up, to respect the minimum and maximum level of the stocks, etc.
- The continuous connection between the WIP level and the cycle time of the bottleneck process and the maximum Takt Time.
- Strengthening feedforward, concurrent and feedback control for the minimum and maximum level of standard stocks near the line/ equipment to decrease the value of inventories and to reduce the effects of changes in production planning.
- Reducing the number of operations required in processes for the feasible sizing of the number of people and for framing the operations in takt time and to minimize non-value operations and minimize/ eliminate them.
- Innovative and creative redesign of the working method of the equipment/ robots in order to increase the performance and utilization without significant investments.
- Synchronizing equipment and/ or lines at takt time by balancing equipment/ line to perform operations balancing between them, for balancing processes between them, to balance takt time of equipment/ line with supply lead time of equipment/ line.
- Managing bottleneck process for quality control in order to reduce and/ or eliminate quality assurance constraints.
- Achieving and sustaining the One Piece Flow and Continuous Flow status to eliminate parallel operations, to eliminate operations without value between operations, for ergonomics.
- Developing the system of continuous capture of losses and waste in order to have the continuous measurement of non-productivity.
