Takt Time
The rate at which a completed product needs to be finished to meet customer demand. Benefits include harmonized production pace, balancing of workloads, and identification of process inefficiencies.
Heijunka
A production leveling technique used to reduce the impact of fluctuating customer demand. Benefits include smooth production flow, less stockpile of inventory, and stabilized production schedules.
Jidoka
The concept of automating machines with a built-in ability to detect defects and stop production autonomously. Benefits include improved quality, reduced cost of defects, and freeing up human labor for more complex tasks.
Quick Changeover / SMED
Single-Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) intends to reduce equipment setup times to under ten minutes. Benefits include reduced downtime, increased flexibility to produce different products, and improved responsiveness to customer demands.
Kanban
A scheduling system that tells you what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Benefits include improved throughput, minimized inventory, and enhanced flow of goods.
Supply Chain Integration
Close alignment and coordination of the manufacturing company's processes with its suppliers and customers. Benefits include reduced lead times, more responsive to changes in demand, and minimized inventory levels.
Continuous Flow
A principle where production is structured to allow for a constant and consistent production flow, often one-piece-at-a-time. Benefits include reduced lead times, less inventory, and improved quality by rapid detection of defects.
Pull System
A method where the production of items is initiated by demand for products, rather than in anticipation of orders. Benefits include reduced overproduction, minimized storage space, and decreased waste of resources.
Just-In-Time (JIT) Manufacturing
A production strategy that strives to improve a business's return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs. Benefits include decreased waste, lower storage costs, and increased efficiency.
Total Quality Management (TQM)
A management approach to long-term success through customer satisfaction that involves all members of an organization. Benefits include improved product quality, better customer satisfaction, and lower defect rates.
