Introduction to Kaizen, Kyosei and Obeya How to be Creative, Innovative, Fast & Flexible Dr. John Blakemore Principal Innovation Blakemore Consulting Intrernational National President Manufacturing Society of Australia Advisor to Australian Government on Innovation and Research and Development

What is Lean Manufacturing? 1. Lean manufacturing is a Japanese Pull System which maximises throughput and profit with minimum inventory and waste. 2. 2. This method is employed with great success by Toyota, Honda, Canon, Panasonic, and all globally competitive manufacturers. 3. 3. This method employs, Value stream mapping, 4. pull systems, SPC, Six Sigma and other Deming techniques. 5. 4. The key words are OBEYA. 6. KAIZEN & KYOSEI &

Kaizen & Kyosei & Obeya • Kaizen = Continuous Improvement • Kyosei = Living and Working Together for the common good • Obeya = Big Room

Waste • Expenses (P&L Bal Sheet) • Resources ($, Plant, People, Material etc) • Planning System

Aims of Lean Manufacturing 1. Develop a Pull System with Continuous Flow 2. Enhance People skill, flexibility and Teamwork 3. Achieve Shorter Lead Times 4. Have Less Inventory and Waste 5. Use capital more effectively 6. Maximize Value Added 7. Improve Quality 8. Have Less Defective Product and Process 9. Reduced Time to Market for new Products 10. Improve Information and data flow

Lessons from The Best Companies in the World 1. John Blakemore in Sept and Oct 2006, visited some of the best companies in the world including, Honda, Toyota, Canon, Mazda, Kawai, Panasonic as part of an investigation to add to our understanding of Lean Manufacture. 2. These lessons can be applied to all manufacturers. 3. To the list of Lean we now need to add Kyosei, (inc Karakuri and the German Meister system).

The Magic of Pull Systems: 1. Reduce and cap Work In Process(WIP) 2. Make by Replacement or MTO 3. Aim at limiting cycle time variability 4. Aim at Continuous WIP (CONWIP) 5. Kanban = linked processes 6. CONWIP = pull from FG Supermarket 7. MRP = push to FG 8. CONWIP is the most Robust System

Continuous Flow 1. Once value is added to a product, the product must continue to have value added. 2. No queuing, idle time or stopped flow 3. Remove or speed up the bottlenecks 4. Synchronise…look at a Formula 1 pitstop

Minimise Waste can be in the form of : • Material • Time (total, lead etc) • Space • Money • Tampering ( Changing ) • Double Handling • Breakdowns • Band-Aid “Solutions” • Setups, Cleanups, Idle Time, • Inventory (RM, WIP, FG)

Maximise Value Added 1. Keep the product moving to customer 2. Run Time/ Total Time maximised 3. Maximise use of Tools and Jigs 4. Use clear labels 5. Eliminate non value added steps 6. Push to Pull

Manufacturing or Service? There is no such thing as a pure Manufacturing Company All companies are Service Driven

The Solution Lean Customer Service Driven • Cooperative Culture • Strong Relationships • Team Cross Functional Structure • High Velocity • Accurate Information • Short Time Periods • Synchronised Processes • Pull not Push • Dynamic not Static

Recent Achievements 1. Hazard: 800% productivity gain in 18 months 2. Pirelli : Output doubled, NP from – 5% sales to 15% profit 3. CSFB: $40 M fr WC , OT D 32% to 95%, Loss to $40 M EBITA 4. Tannery: Colour defects eliminated from 15% defective 5. Steel Fabricator: Plant redesign, Mat Handling $ halved 6. Computer Supplier: Loss $60, 000 to profit $1. 0 M I year 7. Aluminium Fabricator: Productivity doubled in 6 months 8. Speedo: QR to retailer, inventory down, service up. 9. 14 Plastics Companies: All increased bottom line in 1 yr. 10. Geelong Cement: Productivity Gain of 25% in 6 months 11. Warkworth Mine: Productivity Gain of 16% in 6 Months 12. BHP to PVA: RM Inventory reduced from $1. 5 M to $60, 000
