Lean on Me

1.5 ULTRA PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY (UPLC) Since from thirty years, High performance liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is well accepted technique used in laboratories worldwide. It is one of the analytical techniques used to identify, separate and quantify each analyte in a mixture. One of the primary drivers for the development of this technique has been the progression of the packing materials (particle size, packing technology, chemistry) used to impact the separation. The fundamental…

Why Should U.S. Companies Invest in Lean Manufacturing? In today’s global market there is an increased need for companies to be able to compete with one another more proficiently. United States manufacturing companies have learned the hard way that it is difficult to compete with manufacturing firms from other countries. Overseas manufacturing firms have traditionally lacked the capital to compete with their United States counterparts in terms of scale, but have nonetheless been capable of…

After reading the article International transference of lean production systems by Reynold Peter James we have Known that the Lean production process is more than three decades old and is generally practiced for reduction of waste management and quality management. Toyota started using lean production process in 1950s to Toyota Production System was established on ideas intended to expand stream, dispose of waste of all types…

Lean Six Sigma, or LSS, is the combination of two separate management techniques: Lean and Six Sigma. Lean management focuses on disregarding waste, variation, and non-value adding tasks. This technique is meant to optimize improvement and customer focus through material and information flow. ¬¬¬¬ Six Sigma is the “second” part to LSS and can only be applied after a Lean commitment has been implemented. Six Sigma is “uniquely driven by a close understanding of customer needs, disciplined use of…

2005). There are tow primary tools of Six Sigma, The Six Sigma DMAIC process (D-define, M-measure, A-analyze, I-improve, C-control) and, The Six Sigma DMADV process (D-define, M-measure, A-analyze, D-design, V-verify)(I Six Sigma, 2016). Unlike with Lean Methodology there are no considerations given to environmental impact inherently within the Six Sigma…

Toyota's management system, officially known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) has patterned its management strategy from the scientific management. Taiichi Ohno, a former president of Toyota, studied the work of Fredrick Taylor and invented the "TPS": Toyota Production System. The purpose of this production system was to prevent inconsistency in the work and eliminate wastes or delays. The company did not want their workers to stand, wait and attend machines. The workers were required to…

The world is based around efficiency. In modern terms, efficiency means less money usage. If people have a chance to keep money, they will become as efficient as possible. Money is a driving force in the world. Money is so powerful that people will cut corners in order to save it. This also is actively present in governments around the world. Sometimes governments cut corners in education, public recreation, or even public transportation. However, out of all of those and even more, there is one…

1.0 Introduction Toyota’s system of lean production and techniques for eliminating errors such a poka-yoke, which is an exercise formulated to avoid mistakes that can result in defective products, are world-renowned examples of quality assurance. Interestingly, in most cases supply chain quality assurance was established as the major reason for product recall (Roth et al. 2008). Recent product recalls and disorders in supply chains are cautionary indicators that the level of quality management…

Abstract The Toyota motor company of Japan has taken the challenge of better quality management seriously and has proved its ability to compete with the leaders of the industry such as Ford, Volvo, Chevrolet et al. By careful adoption of cutting edge technologies such as Total quality management, Toyota has turned itself into a game changer in the industry. This assignment focuses on how Toyota achieved its objectives using TQM. It unfolds in three stages starting with The company and its scope…
