It enhances and promotes the company\u2019s efficiency and is generally referred to as \u201cimproving progress and flow\u201d and focuses mainly on minimizing waste.<\/p>\n
Lean thinking is to think from new perspectives for making your organization standout from it\u2019s competitors. It depends upon selecting different lean tools which ultimately eliminate waste production as well as steps and actions which are of no use. This also results in saving of extra cost, time and resources. Here, by \u201cwaste\u201d we mean anything that is of no use for the customer, has no use and can hinder customer satisfaction<\/a>. It could be any form the 7 wastes described below<\/p>\n To reduce every form of waste there are special lean tools as for example, value stream mapping<\/a>, five whys method, Heijunka<\/a>, Andon<\/a> and 5S<\/a> etc. Now lets look at some of the benefits of lean thinking.<\/p>\n Before implementing lean thinking in your organization it is important to identify the company\u2019s goals first. Implementation of lean might take long time and it is an ongoing side by side process. Its implementation might seem challenging but once implemented it makes everything smooth and stream lined.<\/p>\n Implementation of lean thinking generally includes following steps:<\/p>\n First step is to specify and determine values from customer\u2019s perspective. Value should be expressed in provision to particular product, which fulfils client\u2019s demands at specified time and cost.<\/p>\n Make a map of the existing and forthcoming state of the value stream. It recognizes and reduces the waste production in the existing state. It includes all the actions, resources, personnel and information required for customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n Take actions to improvise the value stream flow by eliminating operating obstacles and improving the lead time.<\/p>\n JIT<\/a> means to make the products as demanded by the customer rather than following the sales predictions that might result in overproduction or underproduction.<\/p>\n Lean thinking is beneficial in terms of eliminating waste and any non value added actions. It enhances productivity and product quality by focusing mainly on customer\u2019s actual needs, leading to customer\u2019s satisfaction. There are many organizations that have improvised their system by implementation of lean thinking. Following are the benefits of lean thinking and how it helps an organization in improving their system for their benefit.<\/p>\n The major and foremost benefit of lean thinking is that prevents waste production in any form. Waste is any non value adding element in the operation having no use. According to a recent study, eliminating waste production saves up to 95% of cost, time and other resources.<\/p>\n Another important advantage of lean thinking is that it promotes just in time manufacturing<\/a>. It helps a lot in preventing overproduction because products are formed exactly according to customer\u2019s needs and requirements. This means formation of product takes place by customer pull. This results in minimal inventory levels of finished goods.<\/p>\n Due to elimination of non value added activities the production process is usually completed in days instead of weeks which result in better cycle and lead times.<\/p>\n\n
