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
