3. WHAT INFORMATION IS IN A TARGET CONDITION?
We notice these tables condition describes how youcommon.
A target have a lot in want a process to operate
• A target condition for a manufacturing process should include
Can we standardize?of information.how to get there.
the following four categories
• No verbs in a target condition. Thatʼ for
s
• You must include a target date for achieving the target condition.
Customer Demand and Line Pace
• Customer takt Achieve-By Date: (required)
• Planned cycle time
• Number of shifts currently running (1) DESCRIBE PROCESS STEPS, SEQUENCE & TIMES
A pattern you can draw or chart (see example)
Overview of the Process
• Define the start & end points of the process (2) OTHER PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS
• Get to know the process by sketching a block diagram of it Examples: • Number of operators
- Where does WIP accumulate? Used for • Number of shifts
• How much does process output fluctuate? (Cycle-to-cycle and shift-to-shift)
improving • Where 1x1 flow is planned, and where standard WIP
• Note other details about the current operating pattern (incl. quantity) is to be located
• Leveling sequence
Machine Capacity (3) PROCESS METRIC(S) (Measurement in the moment)
• Can the automatic equipment support the planned cycle time?
• How close are we to our current machine capacity limit? No Yes For checking process condition in real time
• What is the fastest Pc/t the equipment can currently support? Examples: • Time for each step, piece, pitch, etc.
• Shift options? • Degree of time fluctuation from cycle to cycle
Process Fluctuation
(4) OUTCOME METRIC(S)
• Time 20-40 full cycles of each operatorʼ work
s No Yes
• Are each operatorʼ work steps the same from cycle to cycle?
s Used to To check outcome of improvement efforts
check Examples: • Number of pieces per hour or shift
• Leveling sequence attainment
Process: outcomes
