Agenda
• Process not a Program
• Lean Principles
• Implementation process
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 3
Why do Lean?
• Reduce manufacturing and overhead costs by 20%• Deliver products/services in 50% to 80% less time• Free up capital through a 75% to 90% reduction in
inventories• Reduce time to market by 50%• Achieve 40% to 50% improvement in labor
productivity

Toyota’s 12 Rules
1. Start with action
2. Learn by doing,training 2nd
3. Start with value stream projects
4. Use value stream mapping to develop future state
5. Kaizen
6. Organize around value streams

7. Make it mandatory
8. Identify opportunities with big $
impact
9. Re-align metrics with value stream
10. Develop your own way
11. Hire or develop Lean leaders
12. Use experts for teaching

Typical Process
• Companies do a great job of gathering data• Make quick decisions with the data- thinking it
will solve the problem-”instant gratification”• Usually the decision ends up being a short term
solution or incorrect

Lean Principles
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 20
What Lean Will Look Like
Traditional• Read reports• Controller drives cost• My view• First answer• Quantity of info• 4 M’s(Material,Machinery
Manpower,Methods)
Future• Walk floor• Waste drives cost• Common view• Dig past first answer• Quality of info• Activities,connections
and flows
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 21
What is Lean?“A manufacturing philosophy that shortens the time line
between the customer order and the shipment by eliminating waste”
- John Shook
It is a people centered system that focuses on continuously improving all aspects of the business.
–It strives to constantly expose and eliminate problems and sources of waste.
–It seeks to simultaneously improve quality, reduce lead-time and reduce cost.
It is NOT a system to eliminate people!

Waste
Not needed at all in completing
work- adds no value
Examples
-Looking for tools
-Walking to get parts
Necessary non-value added work
No value added but must be completed
under present work conditions
Examples
-Reach for part
-Pre-assemble part
-Q.C. check
Value added work
Changes the form,fit or function of a
part or assembly
Examples
-Drilling hole
-Installing part

If I Have Six Sigma-why Lean?
• Additional tools for Six Sigma experts• Blending of Quality and Operations• Quality becomes part of the process• Kaizen projects linked to solving bottlenecks in
Lean process
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 26
If I Have Lean-why Six Sigma?
• Additional problem solving techniques• Focus of Kaizen teams on bottlenecks• Black belts can be leaders of process• Maintain/Sustain the gain

Principle #1Structure every activity
• Can and are those doing the activity performing as indicated– Sequence
– Following work instructions
– Following control plans SS
• Is the activity capable of producing the desired results SS
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 29
Principle #2Clearly connect every
customer/supplier• Every relationship is a customer- supplier link
– Think of what can be done in a step to reduce errors or make it easier person downstream to complete the task without errors (Errorproofing SS)
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 30
Principle #3Specify and simplify every flow path
• Make every flow path as simple as possible – Should be easy to do the right thing and more
difficult to do it the other way (Errorproofing SS)
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 31
Principle #4Improve through experimentation
• Observe results as they match up against the ideal state
• Determine if changes made are sustainable- Effectiveness (ISO-9004)
• Benchmark process and create a future state map
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 32
5 Building Blocks
• Directly observe work as activities, interactions and flows
• Systematic waste elimination• Systematic problem solving• Establish one common approach of what and
how• Create a learning organization
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 33
Directly observe work as activities, interactions and flow
Definition:
Deeply understand the current reality at the source
of the process, not the results of the process.
Observe how activities are performed, customers
and suppliers are connected and the information,
Material and people flow.
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 34
Directly observe work as activities, interactions and flow
What it means to me:• Where is waste
• Why is it what I’m doing/ What is being done that is not ideal
• Where are problems
• How will change improve things being done
• How does change compare to current state
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 35
Directly observe work as activities, interactions and flow
Tools to observe:
• Value stream map
• Activity maps
• Product process flow
• Video tape process
• “Go See” problem solving
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 36
Directly observe work as activities, interactions and flow
Value stream map• Current state• Takt time• Future state
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 37
Systematic waste elimination
Definition:Waste is anything beyond the absolute
minimum amount of materials, manpower
and machinery needed to add value to a
product or service
04/10/23 Omnex, Inc. 38
Systematic waste elimination
Value added activities:• Must be something the customer recognizes
as being important and is willing to pay for• Must alter the process output; the product
must change• Must be done right the first time
All ‘3’ criteria must be met

What Do We Look For?What Are The
Key Requirements?
A
Operational Excellence is a business strategyHas management developed an assessment of awareness goals plans understanding and acceptance.Has the assessment defined the short term fixes of process disconnects that will be the basis for the entire improvement process?
Has a time phased action plan been developed, resources assigned, measurements established, and activities initiated?
The assessment has provided a thorough definition for senior management/ union leadership of the impact that Operational Excellence will have on cost of quality, cycle time, customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage.
Senior Management/Union Leadership is aggressively championing Operational ExcellenceManagement/Union Leadership has developed performance objectives to guide business process improvement.Cross functional teams assisted by expert facilitator to develop plan and implement Operational ExcellenceCross functional teams are active and achieving measurable results
Have personnel been thoroughly trained in all aspects of Operational Excellence?
Has Top Management developed a learning organization?A clear compelling vision of Operational Excellence exist.The attitude "were different" or "it can't be done" eliminated.
