![Initial Setup Lean Clearly identify incoming and outgoing queue boxes between each Initial Setup – Lean • Clearly identify incoming and outgoing “queue” boxes between each](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/c08462e69329cbc4d8d7c98f96433699/image-7.jpg)
Initial Setup – Lean • Clearly identify incoming and outgoing “queue” boxes between each station Line primed • The exercise is produced with the line primed (a batch set in each “queue” box prior to starting each simulation), so the facilitator will need to have these ready prior to the exercise. This saves time during the exercise. Note that there should be no WIP initially in the outgoing queue at Shipping. • This applies to all three simulations • Recruit one of the observers as a timekeeper • The timekeeper will start and stop the simulations • In addition, the timekeeper will alert the facilitator at 2 minutes • • This is so the facilitator can introduce a “hot” plane to the process 7

Running the Simulation – Lean 6 minutes per simulation -- stop ALL activity at 6 minutes • Introduce “hot” plane at 2 minute mark • If team has shipped all 36 airplanes required by the customer, the line should stop – DO NOT allow the teams to flush out WIP to end up with a starved line! • Record measurables and observations after each 6 minute simulation • The Facilitator needs to report this information on a white board or flip chart for the group to see and talk to during the simulations • • Calculate Financial Impact (Cash Flow) as Follows: $2 Million per Plane shipped to the customer (+) • $1 Million per every piece of W. I. P. (-) • This is an excellent tool to exhibit the financial burden on a company for carrying excessive inventories • 10
![Running the Simulation Lean Start the timekeeper and introduce a hot plane Running the Simulation – Lean • Start the timekeeper and introduce a “hot” plane](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/c08462e69329cbc4d8d7c98f96433699/image-11.jpg)
Running the Simulation – Lean • Start the timekeeper and introduce a “hot” plane at 2 minutes • Mark the next sheet the material identification operator will process with a large “X” on each side of the sheet • Take your time. Remember this role is as a person who only cares that he /she identified the “hot” material. This person does not care about output. • A “hot” plane is a new style or engineering change. It must travel with the batch in which it was identified. All the “old” style planes have been ordered by the customer so they must be built as the customer order states. Think of this as flushing the system of the “old” style. • Do not expedite the “hot” planes!! 11
![Facilitator Notes Lean Round 1 6 pc Push Give a minimum Facilitator Notes – Lean Round 1 – 6 pc Push • Give a minimum](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/c08462e69329cbc4d8d7c98f96433699/image-12.jpg)
Facilitator Notes – Lean Round 1 – 6 pc Push • Give a minimum of instruction to each participant as to their required activity for the 6 pc batch simulation • This allows their true experiences with batch production to be exhibited • Tell the participants that they are being evaluated by their individual output • Quality is not a critical element here - use your discretion Round 2 – 1 pc Push • • Run same as 6 pc Push round Explain that there will be no changes to the processes (except that the material handler can be reassigned to another production line). Clearer instructions/training can be given addressing how to perform a specific job and to clarify quality expectations. 12

Facilitator Notes – Lean Round 3 (1 pc Pull) • The paper clips will no longer be used • Make it very clear that the Customer pulling a shipset out of their Receiving Area is the TRIGGER for Shipping to ship another shipset • Shipping then pulls a shipset out of their “Queue” box from Wing Fold – this then triggers Wing Fold to replenish this shipset • And on down the line • The facilitator has to pay very close attention during the 1 pc pull simulation to maintain the integrity of the Customer’s visual trigger to produce - whether the customer is outside the organization or within the organization • Debrief 1 pc Pull round AND entire exercise at the end 13
![Facilitator Notes Six Sigma Round 4 Six Sigma Use airplanes from the Facilitator Notes – Six Sigma Round 4 (Six Sigma) • Use airplanes from the](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/c08462e69329cbc4d8d7c98f96433699/image-14.jpg)
Facilitator Notes – Six Sigma Round 4 (Six Sigma) • Use airplanes from the previous simulation run. • Set up 2 x 4 foot runway prior to class. For purposes of this exercise, airplane does not have to land in runway or fly as far as runway – the runway provides a target for them to throw at. We are only looking at side to side variation in this exercise … but point out that we could also look at flight distance variation. • Have teams put their problem definition on a flipchart. • There could be some confusion as to whether they should mark the spot where the airplane hits first or where it stops. This is a good opportunity to illustrate the importance of clearly understanding the customer’s requirements. If they ask, tell them that it is the point where the airplane first hits. If they make an assumption without conferring with the customer, during the debrief you should emphasize the importance of clearly defining what the customer wants. 14
![Facilitator Notes Six Sigma Round 4 Six Sigma Teams should review data Facilitator Notes – Six Sigma Round 4 (Six Sigma) • Teams should review data](https://slidetodoc.com/presentation_image_h/c08462e69329cbc4d8d7c98f96433699/image-15.jpg)
Facilitator Notes – Six Sigma Round 4 (Six Sigma) • Teams should review data collection plan with instructor prior to starting data collection. • Make sure that teams are using a +/- measurement convention from the centerline. • Use red sticky dots to mark each landing spot. This will create a nice visual distribution. • Assist them in setting up the histogram, if necessary. Have them put the spec requirement lines on the chart. 15
