These are questions addressed within this presentation.
What is Heijunka?
Heijunka is a Lean manufacturing technique that levels production by distributing different products over time, reducing fluctuations and enhancing efficiency.
How is Takt Time calculated?
Takt Time is calculated by dividing the available production time by the total customer demand, ensuring production aligns with demand.
What are the benefits of Pull Systems?
Pull Systems help eliminate overproduction, control inventory levels, and synchronize production processes, leading to a more efficient manufacturing environment.
How does Kanban support JIT?
Kanban acts as a visual signal that regulates production flow, ensuring that materials are only produced when needed, which is a core principle of JIT.
What is the role of Continuous Flow in Lean?
Continuous Flow minimizes Work In Process (WIP) and lead times by ensuring that each part moves through the production process without delays.
When should Production Leveling be used?
Production Leveling is ideal in environments with high variability in customer demand or product models, allowing for efficient resource utilization.
Can this presentation be customized for specific industries?
Yes, the presentation can be tailored to reflect industry-specific challenges and terminology, enhancing relevance for the audience.
What is a JIT/Heijunka simulation game?
The simulation game demonstrates the advantages of one-piece flow over batch production, allowing participants to experience Lean principles in action.
