This web site is designed to help navigate
you through the mountain loads of information about the many aspects of
business.
The goal of lean
manufacturing is "to eliminate the eight wastes of
lean-overproduction, motion, inventory, waiting, transportation,
defects, underutilized people, and extra processing. Lean targets
non-value-added activities. These are the same activities that
contribute to poor product quality". In other words, lean manufacturing
looks for those activities that do not add value and then eliminates
those activities or processes. Anything referred to as non-valued added
means it is an "activity that does not add market form or function or is
not necessary". Lean manufacturing is intended to eliminate, reduce,
simplify or integrate non-value added activities.
Peterman reported that about 95 percent
of a company's total lead time is filled with non-value added
activities. These include waste in numerous areas including: machine
setup, inspection, waiting, storage, transport, order processing,
machine breakdown and so forth.
These activities often contribute to lower qualities. Examples include:
damage during transportation, rework double handling; misidentification
in storage; loss in storage; setup adjustments that results in a
marginal product; breakdowns of machines instead of preventive
maintenance; and inspection versus process capability.
We have located the above information by doing an exhaustive search on the major
search engines, or they are an associate site. We have also taken the time to search the newsgroups.
People who post to newsgroups don't pull punches. If they have a
positive experience with a certain manufacturer of inventory management
then they may let others know. If they have a negative
shopping experience they may vent their frustration and let others know
about their experience. We will then add their responses here on our
website.
