Document Summary
Gms401 lecture 11 nov 23rd 2015. Repetitive productive system in which processing and movements of materials and goods occur just as they are needed, usually in small batches. Traditional: lower processing costs, fewer defects, greater flexibility, and are able to bring more or improved products to market more quickly. Highly coordinated processing system in which goods move through the system and service are performed just as they are needed: small batches ideal size = 1, pull (demand) system. Big jit = waste reduction and continuous improvement: lean production, jit/lean operates with very little fat . Through smooth, rapid flow of materials through the system. Continuous improvements: zero defects: parts are needed when they are needed, cant wait for inspection, zero (excess) lot sizes, zero set up times, zero breakdowns, zero handling, zero lead time, zero surging. Sources of waste: over production, over processing, product defects, unnecessary transportation/ inventory, inefficient work methods, waiting time, employee underutilization.
