J T. Black –1, 2
1. Form Cells
Sequential operations, decouple operator from machine, parts in families, single piece flow within cell
2. Reduce Setup
Externalize setup to reduce down-time during changeover, increases flexibility
J T. Black – 3, 4
3. Integrate quality control
Check part quality at cell, poke-yoke, stop production when parts are bad
4. Integrate preventive maintenance
worker maintains machine , runs slower
J T. Black – 7, 8
7. Reduce WIP
Make system reliable, build in mechanisms to self correct
8. Build Vendor program
Propagate low WIP policy to your vendors, reduce vendors, make on-time performance part of expectation
