5S Framework
The 5S framework stands for Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain; it's a systematic approach to workplace organization and standardization.
Just-In-Time (JIT)
JIT is a production strategy that strives to improve a business's return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs, producing only what is needed, when it's needed.
Pull System
In contrast to push systems, a pull system in Lean Manufacturing initiates production based on actual customer demand, reducing waste and inventory levels.
Standardized Work
Standardized work refers to the creation and adherence to best practices in production processes, ensuring consistency and a baseline for continuous improvement.
Value Stream
The value stream encompasses all the activities required to bring a product from concept to customer, including design, production, and delivery.
Kaizen
Kaizen is a Japanese term that means 'change for the better' or 'continuous improvement', involving everyone from the CEO to assembly line workers and the cleaning staff.
Value
In Lean Manufacturing, value is defined from the standpoint of the end customer and refers to any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.
Overproduction
Overproduction is considered the most serious form of waste in Lean Manufacturing because it hides other inefficiencies and represents a direct cost with no added value.
Perfection
Perfection in Lean Manufacturing is the continual pursuit of reducing waste and improving processes to deliver the highest possible value to the customer.
Flow
Flow refers to the efficient movement of goods and services through the value stream with minimal waiting or bottlenecks, aiming to deliver value smoothly to the customer.
