Working process - Import export

Gemba walk! What is it? The term Gemba walk is derived from Japanese and means “real city” or “crime scene”. At Lean, “gemba” is the most important place for a team, as it is a place where added value is created. It is a very important part of the lean management philosophy. The purpose is to enable managers and managers to observe the actual work process, work with employees, gain knowledge about the work process and find opportunities for continuous improvement. The operator is best aware of all the problems that arise in the work process and is an excellent source of information. Before you start a tour, you need to have a plan that depends on your long-term and specific goals. You can use a checklist of questions to help you clarify the process

7 losses - in Lean, all activities that consume resources but do not bring any value to the end customer are marked as loss. In fact, they are activities that really create value for customers, only a small part of the overall work process. Everything else can be classified into one of 7 losses. In the original, this is a seven-loss method, we added an eighth, untapped human potential. The types of 7 losses are: EQUIPMENT / DEFECTS EXCESSIVE PRODUCTION UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT TRANSPORT WAITING INVENTORIES EXCESSIVE PROCESSING (PROCESSING) UNUSED HUMAN POTENTIAL

Smed method - quick changes The SMED method, or the quick change method, helps us reduce the time it takes to change a tool or product in the work process. Due to the growing number of product versions and the size of the batches we produce, the SMED method can achieve very large savings in the availability of our working resources. Changes in the economic environment require companies to respond flexibly to the changing demands of their customers. Therefore, a rapid change process is needed. If a company has a large product portfolio, there are basically only two options; integrate production into large batches or change the production program frequently. Frequent changes associated with the machine replacement process are optimized using the SMED method.

We consult our customers about organization of work processes, development project management, low-cost production monitoring solutions and abaqus CAE automatization modules.
