A3 Report
Single page report following the PDCA flow -
Doesn't include quality
Andon
a visual tool that highlights the status of
operations and signals abnormality
Assembly Product Family
One type of product
Rake, Hoe, Shovel - NOT Electric Drill
Autonomation
BLANK with a human touch; use machines, but
combine them with the intelligence of the workers
- detect production of a single defective part
immediately stops production while asking for help
, Batch-and-queue
The mass-production practice of making large lots
of a part then sending the
batch to wait in the queue before the next
operation in the production process -- Contrast
with
single-piece flow -- typically a Push System
Bottleneck
Capacity of a process is limited by the BLANK
operation -- Governs throughput. It is the
constraining step in a process.
Cell (Work Cell)
physical arrangement (people, machines, etc.)
arrangement that places things together to reduce
movement and it typically U shaped -- the purpose
of the cell is to achieve and maintain efficient
continuous flow.
Complete elimination of waste
basis of Toyota Production System
Continuous flow
producing and moving small batches through a
series of processing steps with almost no inventory
and almost no waiting between steps -- making
just what is needed for the next step -- Quality,
Cost, Delivery
Core Goal of Lean
Reduce cost
