HOW TO IMPROVE Nonperforming REDUCING COSTS THROUGH A GAME
Currently learning techniques use dynamic passing games for greater participation and contribution of imagination in the training sessions.
Then let’s play.
In this post we will discuss improving production by reducing costs by applying Lean techniques to reduce unproductive.
Prior to this article did one referred at 7 Mudas or unproductive, which has received more than 100,000 readings in a couple of years. The theme gives a lot of if, as we have seen.
The MUDA, Japanese term that means “worthlessness; idleness; superfluous; waste; waste “is 7 concepts by engineer Taiichi Ohno, author of archiconocido just in time the Toyota Production System were initially applied. We recommend reading the post indicated to know in depth what are dumb.
Game rules
a Group Improvement of staff from different areas of the company is created. Participation is an important point for the wealth of opinions.
Object of the Game
It is analyzing a process to improve costs, by the ratio of non-performing (causes) and Lean techniques for optimization.
Methodology:
Unproductive cards: Have cards with the 7 unproductive or waste, to consider:
Transport
Movement
Waiting time
Stock, Inventory
Defects / settings
Process
overproduction
Cards LEAN Techniques: Have cards with LEAN techniques that are available in the company, a total of 14 cards, not covered 7 Mudas as it is the reference:
Production Techniques
Method 5 S, Order
JIDOKA, Automation process
OEE, Overall Equipment Efficiency
TPM, Total Productive Maintenance
VSM, Analysis Value Added
Management Techniques
ANDON, visual management
Gemba, field
KPI Indicators Objectives
PDCA Improvement Implementation
Root Cause Analysis: Improving root
standardized jobs
Logistics Techniques
Kanban, Material Flow
JUST IN TIME, Make to order
Heijunka, small batches
Process:
The group collects and analyzes a particular process takes a brainstorming, and decide what nonperforming suffer in the process.
Then taken one by one nonperforming that have emerged and what can go right technique Lean seeks to improve.
Logically before starting the game will be made to staff on each of lean techniques with which we will try.
This methodology of work Improvement Groups is being applied more than 40 years ago in the automotive sector and has given very good results to look for causes-effects and improve quality, now it is going a step further and improve productivity = costs.
Conclusion:
If we know where we have problems we can find a solution and this solution will not necessarily be able to provide an operator who “lives” with the problem, so it is important that the groups are formed by staff from different areas or departments because the views they are complementary.
