Lean Six Sigma Value Stream Mapping

By on April 3, 2012 in Information Technology, Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized
During the Lean Six Sigma projects the Black Belts we learn them mapping a value stream, using symbols we understand, we have identified ways to reduce Lead time.
This means that the time spent on value add activities as a % of total time spent is increased,
But we haven’t changed any of the value add activities. We haven’t bought new high tech expensive equipment or tried to get people to work harder, we have simply improved the system.
We haven’t calculated benefits but you get the  feeling that the ‘future state’ system will perform better for OTOQD and cost.
We used a volume manufacturing example because it’s easier to visualise value streams with physical things; now let’s look at non-manufacturing.

Lean techniques for Lean Enterprise

By on April 2, 2012 in General, Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

There is a long list of techniques that characterise the flow, pull and perfection parts of the Lean idea .

Notice how must time is always given to ‘Quick Changeover’; this is important since whilst things are stopped, the value stream is not flowing

Notice also that there isn’t any “Do this!”,  rather what we learn are techniques to improve the flow of value streams .

If you can’t flow then pull is the next step .

And you can not do it all at once, so every improvement is a step on the way to perfection, but you never get there .

the aim of Lean Six Sigma

By on March 22, 2012 in Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

Remember this – Is this what we are aiming at?

 

  • This customer values time (speed) at any cost
  • Most of our customers value a specific balance of quality, cost and time (delivery)
  • But no one values waste
  • So when we are thinking of ‘lean’ we are aiming at reducing the non-value adding gaps in the value chain
Aim to achieve PULL
  • Produce only what the customer requires
  • Improved communication between processes
  • Standard method for communicating between processes – Kanban
  • Production system can respond to changes in customer demand
  • Decreases Inventory levels

Lean Transformation and ICT

By on March 21, 2012 in Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

Lean IT is the extension of lean production and lean office principles to the development and management of info tech (IT) products and services. Its central concern, applied in the context of IT, is the elimination of waste, where waste is work that adds no value to a product or service.

Although lean principles are generally well established and have broad applicability, their extension from manufacturing to IT is only just emerging.Indeed, Lean IT poses significant challenges for practitioners while raising the promise of no less significant benefits. And whereas Lean IT initiatives can be limited in scope and deliver results quickly, implementing Lean IT is a continuing and long-term process that may take years before lean principles become intrinsic to an company’s culture.
