Building a Lean Enterprise
Pull Systems
A method of controlling the flow of work and/or
material by replenishing work/material only as it is
consumed
Types



One-Piece Flow
FIFO lanes (first-in-first-out)
 Visual system authorizing supplier to send next “order”
 Note: FIFO in and of itself is not a pull system



Kanban
 Visual card system authorizing supplier to replenish
stock/supplies/parts

If flow stops at a single point (no consumption),
everything upstream stops as well (no
replenishment)

Pull Systems Concepts
If a bottleneck occurs, everything
upstream must stop!
Resource re-allocation must occur.


Cross-trained workers are essential.

Highlights problems and makes corrective
action mandatory.

Step D

Color coded folders or cards  quick
status of WIP at each process step
Maximum number of visual indicators
between each process  full queue
indicates resources must be re-diverted
Monitor WIP at first process to estimate
current throughput time

Takt Time Application
German word being “pace” or “drumbeat”
Used for balancing work and reducing
bottlenecks (especially for high volume work)
Best when workers are dedicated to one type of
activity (even if for only a portion of the day)


Tough to use when workers are multi-tasked

Will vary based on heavier or lower demand
periods

30
Takt Time Example:
Continuous Production

Available work time
Takt time =

Customer demand

“Touch down”

480 minutes/day
Takt time =

45 new accounts

= 10.6 mins

Each process step must have a process time of
10 minutes or less to avoid development of a
backlog – OR more people to perform the task.

Work Balancing Considerations
 Avoid creating excessively narrow scopes of
responsibility.
 “Production line” vs. one-stop-shop






Assess “between work item” mental setup (switching) required –
if redundant mental setup, consider one-stop-shop
Assess “within work item” mental setup (switching) required – if
too much, consider production line
Assess skill requirements – can one person easily do it all?

 Who’s job is it?


Be willing to challenge paradigms

 Segment the work when necessary

© 2010 Karen Martin & Associates

33
Use Work Segmentation in High
Variation Environments
Segment work based on process time needed to
complete the tasks (e.g. degree of complexity).
Cross-train workers to do all levels of
complexity.
Rotate staff from team to team frequently to
keep interest and skill level high.


Creates organizational flexibility

Load Leveling
Three product types: A, B, C
Weekly customer demand: 12 A’s, 9 B’s, 3 C’s
Traditional Production Model


AAAAAAAAAAAA—BBBBBBBBB—CCC

Better

Production Smoothing
(Heijunka)
Leveling of:
Volume of production


The same quantity is produced each “interval”
for each product family

Variety of production (product mix)


Every (high-volume) model is produced every
“interval”

© 2010 Karen Martin & Associates
Load Leveling Tips
 First seek the root cause!
 When external customers are creating unlevel incoming
load




We have much more influence over external customer behavior
than we think.
Incentives:
 Information – e.g. add peak times to ACD phone recordings
 Financial – provide discounts, etc. for making requests during certain
time periods – e.g. sunset dinner specials

 When sales team creates unlevel incoming load


Change commission period/schedule.

 When internal department creates unlevel load, find out
why and apply a countermeasure or incentive that works
for all.
© 2010 Karen Martin & Associates

39
Prerequisites to
Production Smoothing
1.
2.
3.
4.

Connect the processes where possible (cells)
Create pull
Create flow (balance the work)
Achieve predictability (level output produced
daily for the cell or the line)
5. Reduce work type changeover time
6. Increase number of changeovers per day so
can increase the number of each type of work
produced per day

Process Ownership & Value
Stream Alignment
 Value Stream Champion / Manager




Sole individual responsible for the performance of an entire
value stream across multiple departments or divisions.
Often carry P & L responsibility.

 Process Owner


Sole individual responsible for the performance of a process
across many functions, regardless of the org chart.
 Ongoing monitoring
 Ongoing improvement

 Org chart management



Direct reporting lines for day-to-day operation
Dotted lines to subject matter/policy expertise.

© 2010 Karen Martin & Associates

46
Creating Lean Leaders & Culture
The improvement professional’s primary role is
to sell and teach.


Many leaders aren’t improvement savvy.
 Help them understand the process, the resources required,
etc. – answer Why? Why? Why?



Many individuals have been “burned” by previous
improvement approaches and are fearful in today’s
economy.
 Help them see what’s in it for them.



Most people – from leadership to frontlines – aren’t
proficient problem solvers.
 Teach them to fish.

47
Looking for Stuff: Time is Money
Organization with 1,500 employees



Earn average of $22 per hour
Work 250 days per year

Each employee spends an average of 10
minutes per day looking or waiting for stuff


Individual impact
 = 41.7 hours wasted time per year
 = 0ver a week of frustrating, unfulfilling, nonproductive time



Organizational impact
 = 62,550 hours of nonproductive time
 30 FTEs worth of wasted resources
 = $1.4 unnecessary direct expense per year

  • 19. Pull Systems A method of controlling the flow of work and/or material by replenishing work/material only as it is consumed Types   One-Piece Flow FIFO lanes (first-in-first-out)  Visual system authorizing supplier to send next “order”  Note: FIFO in and of itself is not a pull system  Kanban  Visual card system authorizing supplier to replenish stock/supplies/parts If flow stops at a single point (no consumption), everything upstream stops as well (no replenishment) 19

  • 21. Pull Systems Concepts If a bottleneck occurs, everything upstream must stop! Resource re-allocation must occur.  Cross-trained workers are essential. Highlights problems and makes corrective action mandatory. © 2008 Karen Martin & Associates
  • 22. Pull System in Admin Processes Step A Step B Step C Step D Color coded folders or cards  quick status of WIP at each process step Maximum number of visual indicators between each process  full queue indicates resources must be re-diverted Monitor WIP at first process to estimate current throughput time © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates Step E

  • 30. Takt Time Application German word being “pace” or “drumbeat” Used for balancing work and reducing bottlenecks (especially for high volume work) Best when workers are dedicated to one type of activity (even if for only a portion of the day)  Tough to use when workers are multi-tasked Will vary based on heavier or lower demand periods 30
  • 31. Takt Time Example: Continuous Production Available work time Takt time = Customer demand “Touch down” 480 minutes/day Takt time = 45 new accounts = 10.6 mins Each process step must have a process time of 10 minutes or less to avoid development of a backlog – OR more people to perform the task. 31
  • 32. Balanced Work Process Cycle Time 20 Takt Time = 15 Min. 15 10 5 0 Order Entry & Review Standard Design Complex Design Estimating 32
  • 33. Work Balancing Considerations  Avoid creating excessively narrow scopes of responsibility.  “Production line” vs. one-stop-shop    Assess “between work item” mental setup (switching) required – if redundant mental setup, consider one-stop-shop Assess “within work item” mental setup (switching) required – if too much, consider production line Assess skill requirements – can one person easily do it all?  Who’s job is it?  Be willing to challenge paradigms  Segment the work when necessary © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 33
  • 34. Use Work Segmentation in High Variation Environments Segment work based on process time needed to complete the tasks (e.g. degree of complexity). Cross-train workers to do all levels of complexity. Rotate staff from team to team frequently to keep interest and skill level high.  Creates organizational flexibility © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 34
  • 35. Task-level FTE Requirements Process Time # FTEs Required = 20 mins # FTEs = 10 mins Takt Time 2 FTEs required to = meet customer demand 35
  • 36. Creating a Lean Enterprise Eliminate muda – Waste Eliminate muri – Overburden (people or equipment) Eliminate mura – Uneveness 36

  • 38. Production Smoothing (Heijunka) Leveling of: Volume of production  The same quantity is produced each “interval” for each product family Variety of production (product mix)  Every (high-volume) model is produced every “interval” © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates
  • 39. Load Leveling Tips  First seek the root cause!  When external customers are creating unlevel incoming load   We have much more influence over external customer behavior than we think. Incentives:  Information – e.g. add peak times to ACD phone recordings  Financial – provide discounts, etc. for making requests during certain time periods – e.g. sunset dinner specials  When sales team creates unlevel incoming load  Change commission period/schedule.  When internal department creates unlevel load, find out why and apply a countermeasure or incentive that works for all. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 39
  • 40. Prerequisites to Production Smoothing 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the processes where possible (cells) Create pull Create flow (balance the work) Achieve predictability (level output produced daily for the cell or the line) 5. Reduce work type changeover time 6. Increase number of changeovers per day so can increase the number of each type of work produced per day © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates

  • 46. Process Ownership & Value Stream Alignment  Value Stream Champion / Manager   Sole individual responsible for the performance of an entire value stream across multiple departments or divisions. Often carry P & L responsibility.  Process Owner  Sole individual responsible for the performance of a process across many functions, regardless of the org chart.  Ongoing monitoring  Ongoing improvement  Org chart management   Direct reporting lines for day-to-day operation Dotted lines to subject matter/policy expertise. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 46
  • 47. Creating Lean Leaders & Culture The improvement professional’s primary role is to sell and teach.  Many leaders aren’t improvement savvy.  Help them understand the process, the resources required, etc. – answer Why? Why? Why?  Many individuals have been “burned” by previous improvement approaches and are fearful in today’s economy.  Help them see what’s in it for them.  Most people – from leadership to frontlines – aren’t proficient problem solvers.  Teach them to fish. © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 47
  • 48. Looking for Stuff: Time is Money Organization with 1,500 employees   Earn average of $22 per hour Work 250 days per year Each employee spends an average of 10 minutes per day looking or waiting for stuff  Individual impact  = 41.7 hours wasted time per year  = 0ver a week of frustrating, unfulfilling, nonproductive time  Organizational impact  = 62,550 hours of nonproductive time  30 FTEs worth of wasted resources  = $1.4 unnecessary direct expense per year © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 48

  • 51. Monetizing Results – Cost Avoidance Possibilities Freed capacity / hiring expenses Turnover reduction / hiring expenses Regulatory fines Not scrapping nonreturnable material/supplies Not ordering duplicate material/supplies Not having to borrow money (due to improved cash flow) © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 51
  • 52. Monetizing Results – Revenue Gains, Revenue Loss Avoidance, and Profit Gains Freed capacity   Ability to absorb additional work without additional labor or equipment New revenue streams Revenue gains   Shorter time to market Sales team fully functional more quickly Market share gains Retaining high risk (“jeopardy”) accounts © 2010 Karen Martin & Associates 52
