You all can download my Lean manufacturing .ppt presentation from Seth's ftp
site. Ioan, did you get it?

Jit is Lean. Lean simply means eliminating waste. Waste is anything not
adding value to product. Waste is excess inventory, wasted motion, wasted
time, etc. The 5 S's are a good starting point for lean. It is impossible to
have lean unless all players in the supply chain are CONCURRENTLY involved
and working in accordance with specified contract requirements up and down
the supply/food chain.

Kanban is an indicator and is used in lean. Lean is linear and nothing can
be moved unless the Kanban is empty. Lean is based on a pull manufacturing
system dictated by customer demand. Customer demand is based on takt time or
a rythm much like a drum beat. Takt time sets the pace for which product is
manufactured and supplied. When the drum beat is faster so is demand.

Unlike a push system employing a highly wasteful manufacturing methodology,
that constantly clogs the system with high inventory, a pull system has no
waste. It goes on and on but it is a simple concept/methodology when understood.

Kaizen is continuous improvement. A good quality system, like ISO when
properly employed and managed, is designed to seek continuous improvement to
eliminate waste.

And on it goes,

MoonMan
