Sinopsis

Winner of the 2003 Shingo Prize!

Creating Continuous Flow narrows the focus of Learning to See from the door-to-door value stream perspective to achieving true continuous flow at your critical pacemaker processes.

This new workbook explains in simple, step-by-step terms how to introduce and sustain lean flows of material and information in pacemaker cells and lines, a prerequisite for achieving a lean value stream. Creating Continuous Flow takes you to the next level in cellularization where you'll achieve even greater cost and lead time savings.

You'll Learn:

Where to focus your continuous flow efforts
How to create much more efficient cells and lines
How to operate a pacemaker process so that a lean value stream is possible
How to sustain the gains and keep improving

De la contraportada

This workbook explains in simple, step-by-step terms how to introduce and sustain lean flows of material and information in pacemaker cells and lines, a prerequisite for achieving a lean value stream.

A sight we frequently encounter when touring plants is the relocation of processing steps from departments (process villages) to product-family cells, but too often these "cells" produce only intermittent and erratic flow. Output gyrates from hour to hour and small piles of inventory accumulate between each operation so that few of the benefits of cellularization are actually being realized; and, if the cell is located upstream from the pacemaker process, none of the benefits may ever reach the customer.

This sequel to Learning to See (which focused on plant level operations) provides simple step-by-step instructions for eliminating waste and creating continuous flow at the process level. And like Learning to See, Creating Continuous Flow is a Shingo Prize winner.

This isn't a workbook you will read once then relegate to the bookshelf. It's an action guide for managers, engineers, and production associates that you will use to improve flow each and every day.

Creating Continuous Flow takes you to the next level in cellularization where you'll achieve even greater cost and lead time savings. You'll learn: Where to focus your continuous flow efforts. - How to create much more efficient cells and lines. - How to operate a pacemaker process so that a lean value stream is possible. - How to sustain the gains, and keep improving.

Creating Continuous Flow is the next logical step after Learning to See. The value stream mapping process in Learning to See defined the pacemaker process and the overall flow of products and information in the plant. The next step is to shift your focus from the plant to the process level by zeroing in on the pacemaker process, which sets the production rhythm for the plant or value stream, and apply the principles of continuous flow.

Learning to See teaches you about lean value streams, but you can't have a lean value stream without a well-functioning pacemaker process at the head of that value stream. Creating Continuous Flow dives deep into the pacemaker process, an extremely critical point for achieving your future state lean value stream.

Every production facility has at least one pacemaker process. The pacemaker processes is usually where products take their final form before going to external customers. It’s called the pacemaker because how you operate here determines both how well you can serve the customer and what the demand pattern is like for your upstream supplying processes.

How the pacemaker process operates is critically important. A steady and consistently flowing pacemaker places steady and consistent demands on the rest of the value stream. The continuous flow processing that results allows companies to create leaner value streams.
