,CHAPTER 11 Lean synchronization - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..CHAPTER 11 Lean synchronization
What is synchronization? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..the flow delivers exactly what the customer want in
exact quantity
and
exactly at the time needed
and at
,the required place.
Lean synchronization - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..to do synchronization at lowest possible cost.
Lean synchronization covers both concept of lean and
JIT concept
The concept of lean - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..focus on the elimination of waste through a smooth and even flow
JIT concept - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..producing items only when needed
What are the Benefits of synchronized flow? - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Decrease the cost of insulation between
stages (increases the transparacy/awerness of problems along the production line = motivates the whole
system to solve it ) = more efficiency
Increase throughput time
The Boat and Productivity problems picture - ✔✔ANSW✔✔..Reducing the inventory allows operations
management to se the problems in the operation and to reduce them.
